boy band / girl group is my favourite structure for musical acts
Could the western world pull off a genuine androgynous act without making it weird / political / tumblr?

Different choices for different reasons...
Last night, I went out and had a lot to drink. I went to a rooftop bar in East London and we did bowls and played giant jenga and had drinks then we went to a Karaoke bar and had more drinks.
At maybe 1am when we were sitting in the karaoke bar, I realised I hadn't been that drunk since Sydney or felt so free in a young person way.
I'm not unhappy with my life, but in some ways there is a divide between us as a group (which isn't a bad thing per se). Last night, I caught a small glimpse of how this is happening. Short statement, this is not about my ego or about my life not being what I want or about other people being successful or being unhappy. It's about choices.
The reality of my life is I work a job with a lot of career potential and I have set my career up to be really successful. I'm very aware that in context, I'm incredibly young. I'm very driven, and I have received a lot from my job but I also have had to make sacrifices.
To be the person I am, live the life I am living and be trusted to do what I do, there are a set of expected behaviours. In some way, a set of chosen behaviours which match to an age which is older than me and generally quite conservative. I have accepted these, because of what I want in my life. This, in turn, has meant I have not done a lot of things which I might have done if I'd been working in a bar or still at University, and vice versa, with this job, I've been able to do some really cool stuff.
So back to last night, sitting in the karaoke bar at 1am. I was having fun. In all this expectation and career and 'being an adult', I'd convinced myself that doing careless, stupid, drunk things like this wasn't fun. In a way, to stop feeling bad when that's not the life I can realistically have with the job that I have for multiple reasons that I will not go into.
I'm not regretful of the choices I have made, it's just that, they are choices for my life to be a certain way and I'm ok with that. I think sometimes the choices I've made maybe were too conservative and that's something for me to think about. But I'm also ok with people making different choices. I guess it's just important to be aware that we all make different choices for different reasons.

Wild wild Toronto???
Hey guys,
last Saturday, I went out for a picnic with some people and it was super chill and nice. I mean it was 37 degrees and people were like saying it was crazy hot but tbh it was nice.
Around like 7pm, we left and took the TTC (Torono transit commision) Street car to go to the main part of the city to take the subway to wherever we were going. A few of my friends were going to go to a drag show with me. So we are chilling and talking in the street car and we were riding down Queen st pass the clubbing district, next minute we hear like 3 "Poom Poom Pooms" and I thought it was like fireworks cause Canada Day is the day after but then people were like shouting "Shooting" and the bus driver shouted "Everyone get down" or something like that, and then everyone was on the ground of the street car like squatting. And then we hear another 3 shots and I can't see shit cause I'm squatting in this street car but I can see people around me crying (in the streetcar) and I can also see like, people on the second floor of buildings using their iphones to film something on the street. We stay like this for like a while until we hear sirens coming.
I don't know whether it was like paranoia or some shit but I was like, right next to the back door of the street car where it's glass or plastic and I was like thinking, if someone shoot this back door they be shooting me.. hmmm.. but then someone else told me that in previous shootings, gun fire can go through the whole streetcar (like the metal bits) and I was like oh ok.
I feel like it was more of the energy that was scary cause I was like, in denial for the longest time but people kept screaming and crying and calling other people having panic attacks. One person died and 3 people were injured in the thing.
Once we got off the streetcar, somebody told us that the shooter hadn't been caught yet, so we walked down 2 blocks to go get the other streetcar (which we didn't pay for cause we paid for the first one). There was this one guy walking behind us on his phone, and he shouted at the top of his lungs "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU" and we all freaked?? Cause any sudden loud shouting was suddenly freaky???
Anyway, i'm just writing this cause it was wild. Is this what it feel like to live in America???
And yesterday there was another shooting in Kensington but no one died. Apparently it's all these rapper gang targetted shootings so it's not so bad but like, i feel like Tarana people are trying to imitate american gang life and it's hurting innocent people??? I don't like it, it's making people more paranoid. Like yesterday someone's tire blew out on the street and I thought it was a shooting outside me apartment??? I feel like I'm crazy.

Me, a working man
Hey guys,
Currently I am a working man and I'm living in an office world.
I keep doing this thing where I make jokes to myself and find them really funny. And although it won't be funny as I recount them here, I'm still going to tell you.
We had like a training session on how to use this database thing, and the person doing the training is walking us through the system. You have to use a made up name in the training and for some reason she uses the name "Shrek". (Just so you know she's like a forty year old corporate women with blonde dyed hair who wears a blazer and heels everyday) and so firstly, I was the only person in the room to release a really shout but loud laugh. And then I started like drawing Shrek related shit in my notebook like "Shrek is love, Shrek is life" and I started losing my shit by myself in a boardroom of like 15 people. Like I'm just sitting there with an un-explainable grin on my face holding myself back.
Then today, we were like doing another excel training thing, and the guy incharge puts everyone's initials on the spreadsheet to track like which rows and shit we are assigned to (like for me it's RY). There's this one guy in my team who's name is Michael M, but for some reason the guy incharge puts his name down as MP. So Michael is like, hey my initials are MM not MP, just wanted to make sure that i'm on the spreadsheet. So the guy incharge goes to change it but for some reason it's like a really long process to change the name. And I started thinking of different things that MP can stand for some reason I thought of MR. Potatohead and to me, this is the funniest shit. So for literally the rest of the training session (15 mins) I'm like trying to hold myself back from laughing cause I'm so fucking funny to myself.
Anyway, hope there will be people in the world out there who find me funny the way I find me funny.
xox.
