About 6 months ago two of my best friends left for 2 weeks for Vacation. While they were gone i had a key to their apartment and was going to check on their cat jiji, i kept joking with them that somehow i’d prank their apartment while they were gone but couldn’t figure out a great idea, so i decided to kind of steal one from a friend. We have a running joke with life is life, an epic music video and song and i used a photo of myself standing in an epic pose and put the lyrics “life is life” in the background. My original plan was to print one of these and just hide it somewhere in their apartment, but when i was printing through target online, i realized i got 10 free prints for signing up. That changed my prank to hiding 10 of the same photo of myself around their apartment. When i picked up the prints on the day my friends were returning, i realized it would be a lot funnier if i did a set of three, each with me holding the previous photo in it.

Hit the jump for the 2 other images and 1 that didn’t make the set but i thought was pretty epic none the less.

The original intent of looking at this site was to help inspire and guide me in making a logo for “iamsonoflars” or even just “son of lars” but the more i thought i realize this might also answer questions i’ve been having on how to define my life… and this just brings up all sorts of memorys of existentialism. To try and be brief i’ve always owned cheap clothes and often worn many free t-shirts because i didn’t want to care about how people judge me and let them define who i am by trying to dress in society’s standards, but now i’m realizing maybe i can still not be defined by society how i’m currently portraying myself isn’t the way i want to define myself. I want to stay true to me but somehow i also want to change and to figure out those changes i almost need to figure out my identity and create a sort of self branding for my everyday life.

This seems to be difficult because my first reaction is to say what do i like, what do other people who like what i like wear, that’s what i should wear. But that’s just conforming to other people and letting myself be defined by them, and i could go into a rant about “who gives them the right!!!” but really i don’t care, that’s just the way it is. Now thinking back on the article, maybe i need to figure out what type of person and a lot of the questions that came up in the logo article could apply to real life and i hope to figure this out.

I feel like i’m stumbling in the dark on some philosophical idea and torn weather to follow it or just say i’m going in circles or that someone else has though of this already, which i’m sure nothing i can think of will be original.

Perplexing…

In conclusion i’m going through an interesting time, i’ve been out of school and living on my own for a year, change has started and is effecting my whole life and i want to make sure that i guide it well.

This was not suppose to be serious at all when i started.

So after just a couple weeks my hair is back to it’s normal color, and i guess i shouldn’t have tried dying dark brown hair black just on it’s own so that’s why i’m giving it another shot, but this time something that will hopefully look unnatural and well different while i’m still young.

My plan originally was to attempt black hair with red streaks/ highlights but i’m not really sure how that will look and i’ve trying to do some research into things people have done already. Apparently google just likes to show off photos of emo kids (and yes i realize i might look like one) with all similar colors. I’m looking for more unique hair dying techniques.

Hit the jump to see some images i found with at least something i like in each of them.
