What I'm wearing and Listening today.

The Damned

  Well, the past couple days I've been picking out songs that I'd like to be played at our wedding reception and obviously, there is Gothic rock songs mixed in there (not to dominant, but a fair amount).. That started me on another the Damned kick after I was considering New Rose..
  So enjoy this whilst you look at my threads for today:

The Damned: Smash it up (part 1 & 2)

As for the other point of this post, what am I wearing today?

Poor lighting again, sorry about that.

I really like the design on this tie.

Shirt: Red Gingham check "American Eagle" button up, hand me down from father.
Sweater vest: Brown, Orange, & Chalk Argyle "Bargome New York", Hand me down from friend.

Tie: Black w/ Paisley & Floral print from thrift store.

Belt: Brown Leather double buckle from Aeropostle for a Sweeney Todd costume 6 years ago.

Pants: Low cut Brown Corduroy boot cuts, "Levi" from Salvation Army.
Socks: Plain Brown Timberlake socks.

  As an additional note, I really Love corduroy, the look of it, the feel of it, the atmosphere it lends! My first suit is this gorgeous Olive Green 3-Piece that I got for $10 dollars from a thrift store, all it needed was un-hemming of the pants 2"...
  Goodness I enjoy that suit; I will wear it upon my return to Michigan and show it off to you Freaky Darlings (why yes I like the League of Extraordinary Gentleman).

New Post type.

 What I'm wearing today.

  Alright, I've really been enjoying seeing this kind of thing done on other blogs so I've decided to try and do something like this myself, not everyday, but the days I can I will take pictures. I'm not try to "copy" or steal someone else's thing, but to be frank, I really enjoy it when other people do so that is why I am doing such. Also as I personally don't have a digital camera I may be limited upon my return to Michigan.

  Without further ado here is my garb for today:

Shirt: Blue gingham check casual button up w/button down collars, "Old Navy" from "Goodwill"

2nd Shirt: Gray Henley from "Salvation Army"
Blazer: "Boston Trader", 100% wool black blazer from thrift store
Pocket Square: Puff folded from "Walmart"

Pants: Hand me down from friend
Belt: Black Leather from "Walmart"
Pocket Watch: Faux pocket watch from Xmas clearance at "CVS Pharmacy" of all places

Read all about it! MICHIGAN ANNEXED INTO HOTH SOLAR SYSTEM!! Extra!

Read all about it!

 

  Well here I am hearing about all this drastic weather going on up north and I am down here in Florida enjoying a high of 56... Is that wrong? It is quite nice actually, I enjoy cool weather but I want to be up north with all the blistering winds (-40 in Grand Rapids I'm told) and driving snow.. *sigh*


  Regardless, went to return some Tea Tree oil I didn't need today, as I've been trying to remove the henna dye from my hair, which I've been doing since march... Problem is, it is rather difficult and slimy to do with out damaging your hair, and I have very weak hair (Which I'm trying to grow out). The way to do it is to soak your hair in an oil mix repetitively until it's out. Tea Tree oil makes Henna darker and more permanent so glad I verified before adding.

  After that I went to the hospice store to thrift around and made out pretty good..
A light blue Guayabera I've been eying for a bit, a similar shaded light blue Lacoste Cardigan Sweater, some black Wolverine boots in my size for two bucks, and some scarves for the misses upon my return.

 "GASP! Pastel blue snooty booty clothing!?!? Egads! This man is nuts!"

  Yeah, yeah, I know, I don't wear Steampunk, victorian, or goth clothes ALL the time. I like dressing up and wearing good quality clothings (Okay, not going to lie, if it wasn't the price and a colour for the spring I would not be caught dead wearing a Lacoste.. I'm not into brands you know).

 (Yes buttons are on woman's side.. Do I care?)

 Yes I know this pic is of Chicago, not Michigan. Still gets my point across.

P.S. What the Heck is this "Nu Goth" thing?!? According to what I find, my fashion and music can be called as such... And since I've been dressing that way for years I must be a "Hipster" too... oh wait, that is where the term is coming from.. What in the world is this nonsense??!?!

What to do?

What to do?

 Discovering the point of this blog.

  Well what can I say? I'm an unreliable blogger, I just have a hard time doing it, so I need to have a point of this blog again.
  It will be of several things, I like dressing up or being sharp... I also like Goth, Steampunk, post-apocalyptic fashion, and costumes!!  Thankfully all of my aesthetic tastes can be procured at thrift stores or being handy at needle & thread.
  I also have similar varied tastes in music: Swing, Ska, Jazz, Classical, Rockabilly, grunge, heavy rock, contemporary Christian music, Christian rock, light rock, Nu-Metal, power metal, industrial, industrial metal, EBM in general, electronica, funk, medieval, folk, older country music, gothic rock, etc..
  So yeah, this blog will be about all of these things, my art, my faith, my musical talents, where I live, work, make, sew, find in thrift stores, etc... And also geeky things, can't forget that!

Also, enjoy this:

Keep doing your thing,

P.S. I'm getting engaged to my soulmate Hannah soon and our wedding is this upcoming Halloween.

Another direction.

  Well yet again I am here to say that I am moving my life in a different, content, more alive way. I want to live for God, I need to man up to the plate, no more regrets.
  Therefore this blog will change too, again, I am not going to be focusing entirely on Geekiness, or Steampunk but there will still be posts about that kind of stuff, sorry to any old LotR fans.

He is alive?

  Just doing some updates.. Moving into a new direction in life.

My return on 01/23/2013

 Well then, I have returned from my absence of leave. I have done much, and seen much, and yet.. Here I return to my humble blog, which is a creation I may despise and curse at at times, to type and to tell of my life (and also to tell that I need to spend less time on the internet, I'm writing a blog post for crying out loud!!!).
 Well I have lost my job, dropped out of school due to finances, have a wonderful girlfriend whom I wish to marry, and am trying to get back on track with God. I now enjoy Doctor Who, went to another Origins Game Fair (Idk if I already posted that), aaaaaaand cleaned my room... Sorta..

 Ciao,

P. S. This blog is no longer specifically LotR related so there goes anybody who cares to actually read it for the Miniature Wargaming aspect.
