the old man got out of the house again last night...
tricked into an AA meeting..( i hate those, kids drink, please drink, never get sober)
and then dinner with old friends...and a hipster silverlake party.
i fell in love twice last night. the meds are working.
quote of the night upon entering the party where some random eighties soft rock song was playing:
"whats more "ironic" my t shirt or this song?"
ok. tips from the old man:
like i get the mustache and the memebers only thing but there is a fine line between aldo nova "ironic hip" and frontiers era journey. be careful with those members only jackets...i get it, but, just be careful. and for the geezers, if you were around ( by around i mean old enough to be too young to be smoking, but smoking non the less) the first time , your too old to do it now. the members only jacket is not recyclable...it did not come back. dare i say they are already pass'e?
there is something annoyinly a sexual about those hip silverlake kids. they need some fuck about them.
rooney is the cinderella of the turn of the millenium
oh and in 1982 i was a hesher, complete with O.P. cordoroy shorts, a black sabbath mob rules jersy,(or phnk floyd "the wall" jersey...from the movie which i saw in the theater 52 times) checkered vans, a feather in my ear, and nothing impressed me more than the kids with the balls to wear gold platted marajuana leaf necklaces. I wrote Led Zeppelin and the doors in there logo fonts everywhere, and secretly liked duran duran.
the truckercap tilted to the side thing confuses me, cause those were hip in the early ninties, when irony first became fasion sense...those john deer hats, prison style denim jackets or 3 quarter length suede jackets were a must have in 92.
dont get me wrong...pharell can do no wrong in my eyes, he's the fucking thick shit "g".

I haven't worn a trucker hat since 1993, I would never wear an ironic metal t-shirt because a) I never like metal, and b)irony is for the rich....and btw- I never stopped wearing members only, neither did bobby de niro and all of our grandfathers.....I just can't stand the way they do it in williamsburg...or as it's ironically labelled by the press and tourists....berliniamsburg. Fine, wear the white members only jacket, just not WITH the checkered vans, the I LOVE FISHING ringer T, and the "world's best dad" trucker cap...that is soooo STAR SHOES.
my ex used to wear ballet skirts (as she is a dancer) over jeans, which were tucked into boots+leg warmers....this was four years ago and people even at the chicest hollywood parties would laugh at us....now that look is as popular as painted on "dirty" denim, britney spears hats, hip huggers, and rhinestone necklaces slung around the waist as a belt....all of that has gone from eagle rock to sunset plaza quicker than you can say Dazed And Confused, ID, and THE FACE.
I will never understand fashion.
The fucked up thing is that the dirtbag-trucker hat thing has been a San Jose drunk/punk staple for as long as I can remember.
Crease that shit in the middle and get it nice and dirty, either skateboarding or falling on your face.
The sideways shit makes me wanna punch someone though.
I agree about the SL kids...not enough rock in the roll.
I thought you didn't go over to that side of the tracks??
