I'm going to ask nicely before someone decides to ask rudely:
Please stop starting these asinine topics.

[Al Creed]

Your abuse of punctuation makes my grammar look like Thomas Hobbes'.

This is more of a debate club type topic. I think. It's really hard to tell with the sentence structure, or lack there of.

[Just your average movie goer]

DemonicSpiderz, mate!!! I get the gist of your topic but your post does not make sense! Take heed....

How to structure a sentence.

To begin your sentence, use a capital or upper-case letter. If you are not sure what this means, these are the big letters. For example, whereas "a" is what we would refer to as a lower-case (small) letter, "A" is a captital letter.

To end your sentence, use a full stop. -> .

After the completion of your sentence, hit the space bar two times before commencing the next sentence.

Sentences also need to have main subjects and at least one verb, although these do not have to be active verbs.

However, we will not be going into these matters today.

Okay, let's practice now.

Life what is it why are we here does god alive

Life.

What is it? Why are we here? Is God alive?


Here, we can also see a special punctuation mark ( ? ) for the formation of questions. In addition to this, you may have noticed that I capitalized "God". This is because God is a name and is a proper noun. Proper nouns include the names of people and some places. We also use a capital letter for the personal pronoun "I".

what do you think life is you choice no one elses!

Difficult....

Do you think perhaps you could try to rewrite this sentence yourself? Think carefully about what you are trying to say and remember to use the correct punctuation.

Consider this your homework for the weekend.

dem....

what song is that from?

[Chyld]

I think (don't hold me to it) that DS is suggesting that one should be a complete individual, with no influence on what you want to be.

And what we're forgetting is the subconscious influence of friends, family and associates on us. For example, I'd never normally wear a fleece (a good hoodie or nothing is usual fare), but I got given one as an early Christmas present, and it hasn't come off since...

[Heccubus]

Sort of like how I used to go out of my way to dress like a hobo so that I would look "different". Once I realized that I looked like every other ridiculous-looking punk kid in town (just recently, I might add) I started actually, you know, dressing nicely. I still wear lots of black, but that's mostly because it's my favourite colour. I have to say, I look rather smashing at times now. But anyway, Chyld's right, is what I'm saying. There are influences there irregardless of whether or not we acknowledge them. I was influenced by the punk community as a whole to try and look like I was homeless, and I'm now influenced by my more "emo" friends to try putting some effort into my clothes. The only difference here is that I'm aware of these influences, and embrace them in a way. But still, if I tone things down a bit and start wearing less unique clothes, or cut out the black nail polish, one could argue that it's because my mom hates that stuff, or a girl that I'm seeing doesn't like it. Whether or not I acknowledge, that? Whole 'nother story.

[Reader]

I've begun to wonder why i don't care about clothes. i'd like to get more and dress nicely, but whenever i see something i like i think "people might think i'm wearing this because of this or that reason" which is pretty unhealthy. Currently i dress in accordance to my personality - pretty dull.
I've recently met this person who's my complete opposite and he loves clothes and all sorts of luxuries... he has sort of an infectous enthusiasm.
(left the room for a few minutes and lost my train of thought)

I think i'm a bit too self-conscious about how to express my individuality, so i try not to care. I wouldn't recommend that mindset to anyone.

[Slade]

You said it in the last section Read, try not to care. Wear what you want, and don't let anyone else effect it. Granted, there are certain things that are universally ugly, like flanel and mullets. But if you want to wear stuff that other people don't like, go right ahead! Why should we be slaves to "fashion" and "peer pressure" and "other things I could put into quotes"?

And normally in response to your comment about how you're dull, someone would say "No, you're really cool, you just have to be in your element and doing things that interest you!" But I'm not normal. So I'm going to say the opposite: you're the most boring person on the planet. I'm sure people walk into you frequently, you're so unnoticable. There's no shade of grey that could possibly convey your blandness.

Although back to being serious again, it takes a little bit of effort to totally shake the self-conscious about what you wear thing. I'm still having to get over it after thirteen emotionally scarring years of public education. But I'm doing a better job of it now. I wear my fedora with pride, people who think that the 30s can't go back in style be damned!

JYAMG - Hilarious! I couldn't have written that better myself if I had a year of practice and eight comedians sitting around me. Reminds me of Chatterbox:
Lazlow: If you've got a question for the chatterline, call me.
Caller: I think that eskimos need to go back to Alaska. All of those damned igloos sitting in the streets!
Lazlow: That's not a question. A question usually starts with a word like "how" or "why", and ends with my voice going up like this.
Caller: Don't mock me, man. My taxes pay your salary!
Lazlow:Uh... this is radio. Contributions from advertisers and commercials like this one pay for my salary.
[Cut to Liberty City Survivor commercial.]

Can't top that one...

And Hecc, I'm doing my best not to flip out here, but IRREGARDLESS IS NOT A WORD. Regardless takes the place of the ir prefix a verb such as repair would be attached to.

I dress in a t-shirt and jeans every day. There is nothing special about this. Sometimes I wear my Zelda or Ninja Turtles arm band. Sometimes my t-shirt is white and my jeans are black. Sometimes I wear an open button shirt over my t-shirt that sorta trails behind me. Why do I do these things? I like the look, I am lazy, and I don't need to try to match colors because jeans go with almost everything. I was influenced by various people I used to know, took what I liked, added a bit of my own, etc, blah blah blah. I'm done talking now, because if I've lost interest in my own post, you've lost interest three paragraphs ago.

Wear what you want because you want to wear it. Don't think about what other people are going to think of you unless it is important (like job interviews). Irregardless is still not a word. Spiders, use the conventions of standard written English to increase coherency.Ok. That is all. I'll be taking my leave for the next week or so until the old computer that I don't need to worry about any longer is fixed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I appreciate you putting me in my place, Slade. And you did it quite a fine job of it! <--in awe of your sky-high wit
Upon perusing past blog entires i realize I tend to be self-depreciating in that way far too frequently. I try to convince myself that i'm not looking for reassurance, but whether i want it or not, saying stuff like that can only imply that i'm doing just that.
Therefore, i resolve to not describe myself as such from now on. Or in any way at all. If any of you guys catch me doing it feel free to beat me with a bowling pin.

(None of the preceding post was not sarcasm.)

JYAMG, you come off a busy day at work and you're still teaching classes!!!

Demonspiderz, don't be upset. My grammar is average at best. I've improved a lot since joining L&E over one year ago.

I wear what I think looks good, but I know I'm not an individual as I know that what I think looks good is influenced by society. I just don't care.

But I always put myself down in an effort to get compliments. Sadly, people catch on fast. Bastards.

But flannel is so cozy!

Reader, your friend who loves clothes and luxuries sounds AWESOME. I love modern day dandies!
