I've got issues

Not really. My only issue is that I really want this bracelet my friend Aarean is giving away on her blog Color Issue!

GIVING AWAY!!! And it's Kate Spade! I love Kate Spade. I would like to own everything that woman has ever made.

Thanks, Aarean!

What is youth?

If you have ever been to a show in Salt Lake City, you may identify with some of the following feelings, feelings that surfaced at pretty much every show I ever went to at Kilby Court or Bricks or The Depot, etc.

- Wow, these kids are really dressed nicely.
- Wow, these kids are really hip.
- Wow, these kids are really trying hard.
- Wow, these kids all look the same.
Etc.

I am sure those same kids felt that way about me too, so let's get over that assumed hypocrisy right now.

These days, I do not dress very hip. Not like I used to anyway. Did I ever dress hip? I wear red flats, my high-waisted skinny jeans, and I wear lots of v-neck t-shirts and stuff I got at the J.Crew factory store. My mom shops at J. Crew too, so I'm not really a trendsetter or anything.

Friday night, Jeff and I went to see M83. I was really excited. I also felt under-dressed. I was wearing my high-waisted skinny jeans (only pair that fits well), a navy gingham button-down, Sperrys and a grey zippered hoodie. Not exactly runway ready. I'm thinking, I never would have worn something like this to a show in Utah. I am going to look so dumb.

We walked into the venue and everyone there was preppy. Legit preppy. There were some people dressed more like I expected, but all I could see was lots of college dudes/guys who dress like they are still in college, and their blond girlfriends whose Juicy accessories didn't quite fit in.

I have reached a few conclusions on the matter.

One, hip is dead.
Two, M83 is no longer hip.
Three, I am really out of it and have no idea what 'cool' is.

The times they are a changin'

It's a nice morning. Woke up to a 5 am, 40 degree WOD. So fun! I'm serious.

I just finished reading this article about modern-day prejudice and the form it takes. It's a great read. Objective, thought-provoking, and subtly serves its readers humble pie.

Read it and let me know what you think!

In other news, Jeff and I are going to see M83 after all! The venue opened up more tickets, so I snagged some. I can't wait! Please pray for me that I won't be crabby.

My favorite words

I will never grow tired of hearing my dad say to me, "I'm proud of you, Lisa."

I sure love my dad.
