Last week I saw a certain celebrity on TV. I will not name her, but I will tell you that she is a member of a certain band that is not Boys Aloud, and that her name rhymes with Pole and she is married to a footballer whose first name rhymes with Pashley. Anyway, there she was looking all make-upped up and fancy and what was she wearing? Yes people: a hoody on top of her head! She was at some kind of celebrity party wearing this thing which made her look slightly out of place and a little bit dirty, like some kind of posh beautiful witch who had wandered in off the street. I started to wonder if she’d got an ASBO recently, and if that was why she had adopted the street-corner-what-you-lookin’-at? look. I couldn’t think of any other explanation for her to don a hoody.
With celebrities wearing such things, what hope have the youth of today got for fitting in and being accepted as decent members of society? They can’t win! First they are told not to wear the hoody in a public place, and then they see a celebrity on TV wearing the exact same thing. You can’t blame them for being confused and doing what they aren’t supposed to, can you? No. If you look back through time you’ll find a long history of children / teenagers doing the exact opposite of what they should be, which is they way nature intended, of course. And without this rebellious attitude chances are attitudes wouldn’t change, and humans would still be the same in a hundred years as they are right now. The Fact is this: not doing what you should is part of society’s progression. It’s part of the punk-rock culture, part of fighting against the machine, and part of evolving and constantly changing.
One last thing, I need to brag a little bit. I have just bought the most delightful newton running shoes that I have ever owned. Boston Marathon, here I come!
