Courtesy of John S. Hall (yes, of King Missile, and by courtesy, I mean I'm just going to cite him, not that I actually know him or anything), Onward Awkward has stumbled across his book, Daily Negations, the ugly counterpart to Daily Affirmations and it's uh, fucking amazing. Always knowing when to steal a good idea, we've decided to start a new daily post succinctly called the "Daily Dose of Debbie" as in Downer.
Today's D-cubed is as follows:
"Do something different today: stop trying to be so different. Cool people listen to their I-pod more than they talk about it. People in the know do not say 'yeah' when asked if they're familiar with Borges' Garden of Forking Paths and they aren't; they say no, moron, because they actually don't know. Contrary to (semi) popular belief, plastic-slit-shades are not making a comeback nor are they cool, but there you are wearing them in the club like you're Kanye. Interesting people do not quote trendy movie lines and song lyrics without citing their source until someone calls you out because (shock!) other people also watch movies and listen to songs. Please stop saying 'yeah I know.' Because no, no you don't. Are you really as special and unique as you think you are? Don't you think if you were, something would have transpired by now? All signs point to mediocrity. Buy a cat, dude. This is it for you. :)"
