tell us what you think, are the following overrated or underrated? why?
for the record, i think all things are rated.
1. birkin bags
nah they're cute. they're like the bags Ewoks would carry around the forest with them.........knowing full well the tragic cost of war and that some of them are carrying them on their shoulders...
2. iphone
sure but i mean this thing where you take up all the bandwidth of your Instagram Stories all day to discuss the newest improvements. it's just gonna change in 3 years so what's the point? you have to keep buying the next new model?.........forever? when does the madness end! i just wanted to wish my grandma a happy birthday before it was too late!!!...
3. writing a book and self-publishing
this hits a sore spot in me. writing IS my life. always has been.........tho i didn't always recognize this. self-publishing is a thorny issue, see...i don't know...everybody is a god among their circle, their group, not everyone can be JK Rowling...
...okay JK Rowling is a bad example for anything now...
...i mean i look at my dad's time when there wasn't social media and you really had to take your fucking two ton tome of a manuscript to the book publisher in New York City they didn't pay for the flight, plop that sucker down on some nebbish's desk and pray he'll publish it for you with his massive crane. and use his fleet of unmarked vans to put it out there on the shelves at Waldenbooks...
typewriter times, simpler times, halcyon times...
4. scruffy short beards
on Brad Pitt yes. on James Franco not so much...
5. hoodies
only if you cut off the sleeves...
6. HIIT workouts
please tell me that's the one where the men get to wear yoga pants......
there is only ONE reason to ever work out:
you're auditioning to get on American Gladiators...
...the '80s American Gladiators...
7. boxer briefs
i got some new boxer shorts at Macy's for my own Christmas gift to myself this last weekend...should have saved them for Boxing Day...they were Medium and i'm Large...it hurts to sit down and be typing this for you right now...
BONUS: avocado toast, overrated or underrated?
avocado toast is much like HNT...
