A blovel teaser

After much contemplation on how to make this blog of use to me and anyone else who may stumble upon it - I have decided to write a blovel. I have to write the first chapter, but until then here is a bit of a teaser, just to make sure you come back and read the whole chapter later.

The frigid cold of 7 a.m. when you are waiting for a bus and it is seventeen minutes late is what I imagine hell to be - if it were inversed. I complain about winter, whether I am in it or not. This is not because I am a chronic complainer or one of those people that likes to make meaningless small talk about the weather - it is because I genuinely do not understand why any people choose to live in this place.

Words to know.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

-Coco Chanel

I always appreciate it when someone can say something meaningful and completely unimportant in the same sentence. That is how I feel about this particular quote. It is commonly misunderstood that fashion is something to never be taken seriously. What is occurring on earth is so frequently reflected in the fashions we see prancing down runways and walking through streets. It shouldn't be taken lightly, but rather respected. It is an art form to dress oneself well.

At the same time, it is equally as valuable to have something meaningful to say every time you open your mouth to speak. To do this blog, myself and readers justice I hope that the words I scribe here, the pictures I post and the future of media I discover here - prove to be meaningful. If for no other reason than to justify this post.
