Quarter-life Crisis

            A question that is often asked but I can never fully answer.....what am I living for? At my internship I was given a task that involved me looking at pictures from the 80's and 90's. The pictures included female track runners and the bodies of these women were tight. I started to wonder what these women looked like now in the present day. I pictured some overweight women looking back over there pictures reminiscing over their old track days and how their bodies used to look.  They reminded me of myself today and what I'll probably look like in some years which brought me to a question that's been burning in my head lately. What am I on earth for? I guess I'm too young to be having a mid-life crisis however that's exactly what it is. But my coworker told me I was actually having a "quarter-life crisis"/
        I'm currently 21 years old and my birthday is right around the corner. I'm not excited about this new age besides that I'm blessed enough to be seeing another year. All older people always want to remind us that time flies and make sure we do something meaningful with it. Well I'm starting to see this now. My younger cousins are now growing into beautiful adults and now high school seems like it was so long ago.
          I have two routes that I could take at this point of realization. I could sulk about how my lady parts are going to be affected by gravity in some years and cry myself to sleep at night or I could try my best to do something meaningful with my time here and hit a dare devil streak. To stay positive I think I'm going to go with the second choice. I plan on affecting other peoples lives so that I can one day leave behind some kind of legacy. My question to you all is, being that our time here is so short what do you plan on doing with yours?

The Beach's Very Own

I don't really write too much about fashion because that's not really my area of interests. However a question was sparked a while ago that asked, "Who is to credit for today's fashion sense?"...A lot of people were quick to credit the likes of Kanye West, however I believe the person that was left out of that equation was Pharrell Williams of N.E.R.D. How soon people forget, it was only a couple years ago everyone was walking around wearing trucker hats (which aren't anything but a piece of fabric away from a snap back), skinny jeans, and a skateboard. "Skateboard P" made it cool to be a black guy that skates and even be a little weird. He brought the style of Virginia Beach to the forefront and although he can't take all the credit for today's style, I'd like to think that he made certain things a little more accepted. Who do you all think had an influence on today's fashion?
