Starting Anew

I will be deleting this blog in the next couple of weeks (sorry anonymous followers, even though I have a clear idea of who you are; or were for that instance). I want to start anew (and a new blog) and I feel like this blog contains so many tween memories and the after-smell of so many bewildering experiences. It feels like those pair of jeans you swore you would never stopped liking and wore for a year straight, and even though the one-year-vintage color has finally happened, you want another pair of jeans because you grew tired of them. You then realized, that you don't want denim jeans anymore, because they look so juvenile, you decide that you want slacks or pants for that matter, or any pant in a dark to black wash. So goodbye! 
You will eventually find me again, I mean, it's the fucking internet, you know?

From now on,

I will only wear slacks and shorts because I'm so tired of jeans as visually flexible as they may be.

Hey guys! I know, I know! I said i was going to post some DIY's and I'm working on them (mentally) but life has kept me pretty busy running up and down these past two days, and you know, photographing DIY's ain't easy. So, I thought I'd leave this Tumblrity here and you can ask me these (if you wish, obviously) on my Formspring (because I never make use of it): http://www.formspring.me/EddieA

Busy Bee

I have been overwhelmingly busy these past two weeks. Running errands, writing papers and photographing our Rack Kingdom inventory. I've never been so busy before, and I really like it. Gives life a bigger purpose.

A Drug Addict Dies,

And everyone seems to be mourning and saying she had so much to live for. Thousands of innocent youth and people die in Norway and no one gives a fuck.

I don't see drug addiction as an illness or disease. It's not like you wake up one day and said "I think I'm getting a drug addiction, better go to the doctor."--specially when you have all the means to overcome drug addiction. If you let drugs do this to your body and mind, it means that you are simply weak. It's the same thing as letting someone bully you. The only way I feel sympathy for her is the fact that she indeed died young.

Coming Soon!

After months and months thinking about it, Italia and I have decided to launch our own online vintage shop. We hope you guys like it!

Summer Essentials

These are my Summer Essentials/Every Day Carry sort of items:

- Phone
- iPod*
- "Wake Up: A life of the Buddha" by Jack Kerouac
- Ray Ban Wayfarers
- Watch
- Facial Sunscreen
- Chapstick**
- Wallet
- Loafers (or any shoes that allow not to wear socks)

*I have a 120 GB iPod that restored itself to factory settings, meaning that I have to download three or four years of music all over again. This iPod nano is the one I use to work out or run and is filled of my tween years among new upbeat songs and the songs I was able to rescue.

**This Chapstick by Nivea is great (even better than Burt's Bees in my opinion), but the only problem is that it leaves your lips too shiny causing you to wipe it off a bit if you are like me. Try to purchase the Nivea Men chapstick if you want to give it a try--like the wrapper says: "No Shine."

Vanishing Elephant

Hello, I know I said I was going to this DIY on my last post, but as pointless as this sounds: I have not had enough time to go to the craft store/wal-mart to buy an inch of leather strap (literally one inch) needed for the DIY that I think will help a lot of boys out there in their every-day-carry.

Anyways, I came across this from a post that Juan Coco posted and it reminded me of these shirt(s) I wanted to get from Target last year, which I always liked but always felt very insecure about purchasing since I don't think I can pull off florals/paisley, regardless of their 95%+ off price (they were around 4 dollars or less after the discount).

Salut!

I've been neglecting Blogspot, emails, and texts for a while and have focused my eyes on some nice imagery but I will be back in the next couple of days with hopefully a couple of DIYs and some amazing thrift finds if the money and time allows.
