metamorphosis
metamorphosis: [met-uh-mawr-fuh-sis] –noun, plural
Biology . a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly.
when we're in our teens we have an excuse to screw up. this is the period where we attempt to find who we are and what we want in life. the ethical and moral behaviours that we are exposed to in our teens is a significant factor in moulding the person we become. it is expected that we make mistakes along the way, and here's to hoping that we learn from them.
as we approach our mid 20's, we should have a fairly decent understanding of the social norms and etiquettes that we, as quality people, should adhere to. however, it seems a select few people, due to their superiority complex, are forgetting the crucial post-screw-up steps. that is, learning from their mistakes, ensuring that shit does not hit the fan again, and ultimately becoming a better person because of it.
i know i'm not perfect, but i respect people and i take others into account before following through with my actions. it seems that respect for others has been taken for granted. i've said it before, i'll say it again - it's a give and take world. if you're not willing to cooperate, slowly but surely - there will be no one left to scratch your back. in my opinion, if you've reached adulthood and you're still an obnoxious arrogant prick, unless you're willing to do something about it, then this is essentially what will define you. there's only so much bullshit one can tolerate, and i'm done with chances. so here's my two cents - stop being so self-absorbed and ignorant. take a good look around and gain some much needed perspective.

thinking sorrow is perfection, i'd wallow 'til you told me
there's no glitter in the gutter, there's no twilight galaxy

there's a fine line between witty and rude commentary.
be a little more considerate of others feelings.
filter your thoughts before you speak and tone it down a notch ... or two.

tdk boombox
oh, how i love aesthetically pleasing gadgets - especially vintage classic redesigns. three words - touch sensitive buttons. swoons. i think it's time to upgrade my dusty minimalistic tdk cube with tdk's sleek redesign of the classic boombox. comes in two models - 1) larger three speaker model with a subwoofer in the center; 2) two speaker model with a leather strap. not that i intend to walk down the street with my modern boombox, but knowing i have the option to is nice, and the leather strap makes it that much more snazzy. but the handle on the three speaker model is so smooth, and how can you say 'no' to subwoofer. decisions, decisions.
"The analog switches typical of old-school blasters have been swapped out for touch sensitive buttons embedded into the front of the device, similar to those found on many smart phones. While all of the information displayed is digital, it has a decidedly analog feel, even including a retro-styled EQ. Controls include a left knob for controlling the power and volume and one on the right for toggling through radio stations or adjusting the settings. Both models have USB, 3.5mm and RCA auxiliary ports to connect a huge variety of music sources. There is also a larger auxiliary port that allows you to connect a guitar or microphone in case you want to join in the music magic." - coolhunting.com
