Everywhere I Look..

... I see posers.
No I mean LITERALLY.
Looking at most pictures of people from.. let's say.... MySpace... and all I see are a bunch of Posers. Every frame looks pushed out and planned. Anyone who does happen to be different usually sticks out and sometimes you find a really cool, unique down to earth person.

BUT USUALLY EVERYONE IS TRYING WAY TOO HARD!
I don't know when the last time was that I updated a photo of myself onto MySpace. This is not because I haven't had many an oppurtunity, shit... I just went to a wedding and looked pretty fab, but took not one picture because:
a.) I am not a photographer and have no interest in being one.
b.) I like to take every minute of an experience in and usually have no time or the memory to take a picture of something I am enjoying in real time.
c.) Pictures are for memories...not a method of advertisement for yourself. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE NO MESSAGE or purpose you are trying to communicate. I feel in like 8 pics top, someone can get the picture of how you really look. And then not even, most people pics are photoshoped and angled to perfection.
d.) I know people in REAL LIFE and they KNOW ME IN REAL LIFE. So most of my friends already know I'm a bad bitch, ya digg? :P

Yet, for the few people I have used the internet to meet, we actually talk about some real shit and they feel my realness from afar.
And oneday we will meeet and light L's and drink 40's but It is in no way due to the fact that at every moment I feel I look "Good", I snap myself in the mirror. Or if I'm on a train platform on lets say 14th St. (Union Square, NYC MTA), do I turn the camera at myself and take pictures in front of people who are trying to get past me to get on the train home. And then after doing thar all day, ran home and uploaded pics. Naaah, it's cause I spit game, haha... joking... I'm just a very wordly, very blunt and punctual dork.

When I do go out with friends, I do not post up on walls in public and say "Yo, take this flic for my page!"

Now what I do do, is maintain my appearance on the daily and chill hardbody and enjoy every freakin minute of every day, yet I just don't feel the need to prove it to the masses.
But ask me about this post when I start my Label/Brand... and then it'll be a different story, but even then.... I will never crave to be an Attention Whore.
