Eat Your Vegetables & Books

So, over this break I've been alone for most of the days and therefore, outside of facebook and eBay, have had a lot of time to think. I came across this book in a vintage store a couple of weeks ago and Jihan noticed the title so we bought it. (It was only $2) It looked like a pretty cool read from the back cover. So I finished it today and I can honestly say that it was very insightful and helpful in my thought processes about death; and life for that matter. It also inspired me further to continue toward my dream of being a college professor. If you get a chance you should grab a copy of it. It's a good book to run through and then pass on.

Get a copy of it here for under $4.00 USD:

At the end of the day, it is important that we value our lives and those are the people who are important to us. During your last moments on this planet, your thoughts won't be focused on your possessions, only on those whom you love and those who love you; and whether or not we've made peace with those individuals. I love you all....(no homo to the fellas)

I ♥ Brooches...

So I came across these ♥ joints a couple of months ago in an issue of GQ in some photos of the Marc Jacobs Fall Runway show in Paris. Thought they were dope but the models were kinda drabb for my taste. I mean, if you're going to have Legos in you ensemble, you have to go all the way. Then a few weeks later, I saw a picture from the Sartorialist's Blog { http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ } of two young dudes rocking em with a much more flavorful style. Hopefully, you know who the sartorialist is, if not, that's a whole other conversation for another post.

Turns out, the two dudes in the pic are the creator's, who are two of a set of triplets who go by the name Dee & Ricky. Anywho, did some research and they got a deal with Marc Jake and they're selling them on their site for (drumroll) $65. At first I was like no way Jose, but after I thought about it, they're kids like me, just trying to make it. So I ordered one and when it came it was great....head turner everywhere I wore it. Then, my dumb ass either lost it or got it stolen during an inebriated spell at SFA Nupes party. Either way, now I need the little bastard back so I've ordered another one. Multi coloured this time. Check em out here....

I wore it on my Denim Gap Jacket mostly. A "Zach Morris Original."
