Hand written

So many things nowadays are printed out. So few things are handwritten. The art of writing, or handwriting in particular is fast disappearing. The digital age has made it so easy to just tap words into a computer. I find that typing text in to a computer removes some of the art of writing. I mean... the writing becomes soft and easily edit-able. Picture this... you're writing a paragraph in pen on a piece of paper. All your thoughts are recorded... even the ones that you would normally omit from the final written piece. See when you write on paper, if you write something and then later change it, chances are you'll just cross out that portion of text and continue on writing, leaving that portion of text still readable. - I just think that aspect of it is so honest. In addition, the manner in which you write the material is visible. If more emotion goes into that writing, the pressure on the pen would be more.

If I get pret a porter clothes that are vintage inspired though... they either don't fit right or look to damn kiddy when I wear them. Sigh, and so the predicament continues. Ahh ... how to match the inside with the outside. Anyways, on to mo

know it all

I have been called many names before and some of them have been in the likes of "know-it-all", "show off" and "smart alec".

I am not a know it all. It just so happens that I am outspoken and perhaps a little bit too inafraid of being wrong. The truth is I normally say whats on my mind because I feel that somehow, maybe that little nugget of information I blurt out may be useful to someone. And... Well I think that sometimes talking about things properly or directly with other people is a much more upright thing to do rather than gossip or listen to heresay. Especially when it comes to resolving conflicts. I don't claim to know it all... Im not even sure if I even want to be one. So even if I blurt out the awkwardest things, please understand, its
