The sweet taste of a road trip

To be set in one´s way
Culture
I don´t know if I´ll ever fully understand the human. And I don´t know if I ever want to anymore. Even though we have all the possibilities and knowledge, our studies and experience, it still seems that we find it so hard to treat nature and animals with the necessary respect. With all our intelligence how can we allow not to share the world and rights equally and acknowlegde our responsibility for the ones that are dependend on us? They say that you cannot change the world, but you can change little things in your surrounding to make it a better place. But sometimes I feel that no matter how hard I try, even to change one person´s view is impossible. Because humans tend to be so set in their way. And if we are even admitting that we are doing something wrong, the way to actually change is still far out of reach. We make the easy way out. For the simple reason that it´s always the “other´s” fault. Or the circumstances. Or whatever. But things are not always as complicated or impossible as we sometimes outline. Let´s face it, there comes a time in everyone´s life where we have to stop blaming everyone else and attend to one´s duty. And deep inside we know that there is no one to blame for that, if we don´t. Just ourselves.

Nineties nostalgia
Culture
Jason and Shannon at 1991 Emmy Awards - image by Alan Light
Who would have ever thought that? The Nineties are back. The fashion that I had always thought would never return – well, at least not that fast. People who know me nowadays, probably couldn´t imagine me anymore with that bright reddish-pink hair, piercings, Buffalo platforms, glitter make-up and bindis around my eyes and a proudly worn bright green belly top shirt. Well, I have to admit that some years later when observing those images of mine, I couldn´t help smiling and thinking that maybe I did look a bit awkward and I was wondering why at that time, I had thought that I looked so cool. But funnily enough, now I am just in love again with that kind of style and realise again how awesome our appearance actually had been. Maybe seeing something so often and everywhere makes you like stuff again. It might also be the fault of the Beverly Hills 90210 series that I have started watching again, indulging me into this Nineties nostalgia. Well, whatever it is, those times bring back great memories.
Clothes are always also a reflection of the society and lifestyle. Our garments showed the way we felt and lived. We were free spirits, only looking for the fun parts of life. Our rebellion was to enjoy and celebrate the moment. Never thinking about tomorrow. Never growing up.
So I have concluded peace with my Nineties look at that time. And I still don´t want to think too much about tomorrow and I never wanna grow up.
