Post the second- on advertising and contemporary resources

Forgive my title, I just like the way it sounds. Good and pretentious. I should stay away from anything approaching that topic just to spite it. But seeing as it really sort of kind of is what I'm going to talk about, I'll leave it alone and write what I will.

However, let's go on tangents and see if they will somehow converge later. They probably won't.

I notice peoples shoes; what kind they are, the condition, colour, etc. I don't know anything about brands, I'm not that into them, but they are a product all pervasive enough that one can certainly form opinions on them without that knowledge. Without knowing the brand one can still tell when a particular shoe is recreational, professional, for running, etc. I imagine there are two reasons why I notice them- one is my own self consciousness since I habitually let my shoes fall into disrepair, and the other is the fact that for years I had heard that "people look at shoes, they'll judge you by your shoes". Hearing that idea I naturally took up the practice to get in on the information everyone else was privy to.

I bring this up because during this mornings constitutional walk there was this older couple walking along hand in hand, both sporting new identical shoes(except one was yellow and the other pink. but both neon bright), and strolling towards a catholic church service. That struck me as interesting, say we looked back on those two when they were my age- I'm sure they'd both be dressed much differently on the way to a church service back then. Says the guy wandering around outside in his pajama shirt.
To be fair, it's a pretty cool shirt, all form fitting and whatnot. And I did have a jacket.

Okay, that's enough of that- advertising!

Advertising what? This thing I'm writing!
You may have noticed that I've only told the bare minimum of people that I'm writing this. And by "you" I mean the nameless ether-net. How's that namelessness going for you?
Is it that I hate attention?
Okay, hold up, at the rate I'm going I'm just going to follow the pattern of "is it X? No it's Y!" over and over until I'm done for the day, and that can be pretty annoying, especially for me- I'm the one who's writing this! I need some excitement in my day to day composition.

Anyway, part of it is that I'm not comfortable wanting attention- if I can see there's something out there that everyone wants (like attention), that's the quickest way to get me to NOT want it. An argument that falls apart pretty fast- everyone wants oxygen, and yet I still want oxygen. How dare I! And just to be as obfuscating as possible: not wanting to want something doesn't mean I don't want it. Hey, have fun with that one ether-net, that ones for you.

So let's get away from that terrible paragraph.

I can be a bit of a perfectionist, it leads me to be very specific with what I'm writing as well as eternally going over phrases with provisos. Lampshading my own writing pattern using the variables X and Y- yeah, I think that's an example. Obviously the results are hilarious. Obviously.
No I've become distracted by television and am losing writing momentum! Gotta fight it! My rule...

Okay! The thing is, I want things to be "ready" before they're all set to go out- even though I should know that there's no such thing as ready. That's what almost stopped my previous post, and could have very well stopped this one (whether I should have let it stop this one is not for me to judge. Because I'm lazy). It's a problem of mine.
Hey, problems of mine, that's the ticket for the remainder of this post!

My other problems pertaining to advertising is my natural technophobia- I have no idea what I'm doing! Exclamation mark! There's no picture posted, links to other uh, blogs. Maybe I should read more of these things to get the hang of it, but I'm not made of internet reading! I'm made of book reading! And skin and stuff. Glasses too.

All this said, well hey- two posts is something. So I'll put up a link on my facebook page, maybe figure out how to fill out my profile here, get a picture.
But first lunch.
Well, I'm already firmly against my blog. I'd better stop now before I ruin it for everyone.
