I often fee...I know where you're coming from, Joel. I often feel the same way. But I try not to NOT do things just because others are doing them. Because yeah, I think that's silly.<BR/><BR/>Let's take the vampire books. Everyone reads them and loves them. I have not. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe I don't want to conform. But also, how much am I in the mood to read about vampires? Not so much right now. I'm not saying i never will be but I live by my own opinions & timetable. (<--lame) <BR/><BR/>Gladiator sandals: Super hot and trendy right now. My thoughts? I kind of dig it. There, I said it.<BR/>Personally I think it takes a kind of courage to participate in a huge trend, unless you don't have a brain. Then there's no courage at all. Because right now, the only thing holding me back from getting some sandals is that they are really trendy. And, i probably don't need new sandals. <BR/> <BR/>Often, I take a trend, say, a book for example, and if I'm feeling resistant to join the crowd, I might wait a while until the hubbub has died down so I can give it a true evaluation. Maybe this is to appear nonconformist. Maybe it helps me feel like my opinions are my own. Now as I think about it, it sounds kind of weak. But there it is. <BR/><BR/>the end.)enhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792913134059418696noreply@blogger.com
