Eccentric Vomit
Acapella Rush the DC metro
Crazy idea of the morning:
The metro is kind of a cold and lonely place and it is a bit awkward how everyone sits there ignoring each other just waiting to get off….I want to mix things up a bit and maybe make things a bit more enjoyable.
I was thinking about getting several acapeela groups(between 10 to 20) to meet at Metro Center sing a one or two songs and before security can put a stop to it each group seperates into different trains heading different directions and sing to the people in the trains…..
I was thinking about this happening either in the morning as people commute to work. It might annoy several people but because they are in a rush to get to work but it might also kick start an amazing day for others. People might be more receptive to this on the way home from work because they are in less of a rush…but chances are if this ever gets done it will happen on the weekend because thats a time most people can meet but then it would at least be a good story a lot of tourists would have :)
Now there are several hurdles to over come before this plan can work. One I don’t know any Acapella groups in this area….so I would need to some how get in contact with several who are open minding to doing something like this…two would be the whole organizing and planning of when and where to meet and knowing which songs they would want to sing as a big group before splitting off. I would probably want some people with cameras discretely recording the event too. I would also need someone to look into the legal ramifications of doing this…singing in public is covered in the first amendment right?
What I really need is someone who would just take my crazy ideas and put them into action for me….anyone interested in that?
Key Accessory: The Top Hat
A Top Hat used to be symbol of the filthy rich but in modern times it seems like more of a key accessory for an eccentric man.
Examples Include:
Willy Wonka:
When I say eccentric and top hat probably the first thing that comes to your mind is Wonka.
Nothing screams more eccentric than locking yourself in a factory for decades only to make a public appearance so you can lure children into a factory and watch as they fall prey to your temptations which are mean tormented traps…only then to invite one innocent child to live in his factory with him for the rest of their lives… wait that is more disturbing than eccentric but he gets away with it by acting eccentric. If Michel Jackson had a top hat he would have never been sent to court!!!!(curse his zombie bones)
The Mad Hatter
He is named for his top hat, drinks tea, celebrates for no reason and tries to party with lost little girls. Sounds like my kind of guy
The Penguin:
This man is a walking bird pun. He carries umbrellas that turn into anything he wants, from guns to helicopters.
The Penguin: [shouting] My name is not Oswald! It’s Penguin! I am not a human being. I am an animal! Cold-blooded.
The Penguin: My dear penguins, we stand on a great threshold! It’s okay to be scared; many of you won’t be coming back. Thanks to Batman, the time has come to punish *all* God’s children! 1st, 2nd, 3rd *and* 4th-born! Why be biased? Male and female! Hell, the sexes are equal with their erogenous zones blown sky high! Forward march! The liberation of Gotham has begun!
Best speech in any batman movie!!! If he was running for presidant and gave a speech like that I would vote for him
The Cat In the hat
Breaking into a house full of kids knowing their parents are gone, then inviting your 2 friends over and trashing the place. Man the cat in the hat sounds like a jerk. But it is the craziness that he does in the house is what makes him eccentric.
Uncle Sam!!!
Its what America had before Chuck Norris
He wants you…he wants to take you for AMERICA broke back mountain style. Don’t ask don’t tell was really enforced so people don’t find out being in the army is worse than being in prison. Not to mention he takes all your money like a pimp once a year and calls it taxes. He gets away with it because of your nationalism, that and the top hat and beard that makes you gaze at either at the top or bottom of his head so you miss the disturbing blood thirsty look in his eyes.
A man dressed in the American flag pointed at a generation getting them to think hey WWII is going to be fun times…Do all eccentric men in top hats have creepy motives???
Does the hat cause them to have disturbing motives or do the disturbing motives cause them to get the hat? My top hat should be here in a couple days. We will find out the anwser to these questions when it gets here…well if you find out that means you would be falling into my crazy plot…
Plan: Bubble attack a public park
The current plan is to set up my 3 bubble machines in a park and fill it with bubbles, thousands of bubbles in only a couple minutes . If I can acquire a bubble pipe it would add to my character. This should make some peoples lives more interesting!!! I still have not found a suitable park I need to find a park that has a decent amount of people but is not too crowded preferably one with grass instead of a lake or woods. After a park is found I will need a sunny day and then bam bubbles!!! I will make a post once the attack is done…hopefully I will have a means of capturing pictures of the event. I could possibly do this in the dc mall area but something tells me security peoples will not approve of fun or original ideas
“Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.” - Edith Sitwell”
Saving the Masses
Waldo Edition 1:
Waldo was sighted at Virginia Tech’s sprint 09 graduation. He was spotted hiding in crowds and getting into the backgrounds of peoples graduation pictures. I heard rumors he might be wondering around DC sometime in the near tourist filled future.
If you spot him you might get a prize
Current creative Outlets
The current Projects I am working on:
(I would like to post picture updates of these projects however my camera is still MIA assumed stolen…..so until I replace it you have to use your imagination….you know that thing your parents said was magical but feared its true power and hoped will fade out of existence with time)
1) Eccentricifying my Apparel:
I am a bit eccentric and I want that to be reflected in my appearance. However I cannot buy my style at stores. Currently I have been either using vintage clothes or adding a bunch of random things together(kids vests, bright shirts, girls sunglasses, headband/scarf,…etc) to get my eccentric style. How ever I am trying a bit of something different…Now I attempting to making my own personal clothes line…and no I am not gay or metro just fed up with stores and the way current clothes are cut.
First project. Turning a plain boring loose fitting pair of jeans into a funkied bellbottom master piece;
Current Stage: I acquired supplies: patches, buttons, needles, thread to tightening the pant so its not a baggy mess, material so I can cut the bottom and turn into bellbottoms, and tie dye mix.
First tie dye attempted was sub par need to attempt it again hopefully this will get a better pattern and the colors will not bind with the jeans better.
2) Disturbing Doll Making:
From ps3 sackboys to the cool cgi dolls from the upcoming movie 9 disturbing sack dolls are in. Not that things that are in matter. Sometimes late at night I get a wave of creative energy and a couple nights ago I used this energy to start making a disturbing doll from things I found around my room. It is made from an old sock with a pin for on eye and a broken headphone speaker for the other. The stitching on the sock makes it look like it has a frown. Currently the head and torso are I need to find something else to stuff it with and give it limbs….maybe later iterations will have more promise
(again use this thing called imagination to picture a disturbing doll make out of a sock and random junk)… I miss my camera L
3) Increase my mountain man skills
This is important for the day I finally give up on society and escape into the mountains living off the land and such. There are many skills a mountain man needs to survive. One is the ability to grow a good beard….I got that one down. It is not mountain man quality yet but by the time it goes gray it should be. But mountain men need hobbies too so I have decided to start whittling. I have gotten the basic set of whittling knifes and some wood and will start making figurines and working on my skills. With the hope of one day having enough skills to make one bad ass mounting hiking cane, with bears and eagles cared into it
I am not sure how much time I will put into these until I lose interest and move on to something else but hopefully I will get somewhere before then
Theory 1: Most people become lame over time
Theory 1: most people become lame over time….it starts small, they lose piece by piece. I see it in myself and in the people around me. Slowly people lose things that make them unique, crazy, spontaneous, and become more responsible, predictable, they start living the same day….day in and day out. Their adventures get smaller, their ambitions get smaller. People who once planned to travel around the world or go train hopping now look forward to the new season of (insert crappy t.v. show here)…..Just look at history if you don’t believe me. In the 70s there was the biggest anti-culture movement ever…and the government oppression, police beatings, being smelly broke hungry hippies or over use of drugs didn’t stop it….time did. Over time the crazy hippies became lame, some died out but today most work jobs for the society they rebelled against. Their style
and idealism buried under their suits and comfort. Granted don’t listen to me, I am horrible with history and my facts are probably wrong. But from my experience this theory holds true…
What to do about it? I feel myself becoming lame. I fear the idea of being trapped by it. Having my ideas and general craziness bottled away and forgotten only escaping while I dream. When in situations with new people I find myself holding back my uniqueness and presenting a boring socially acceptable person in my place which leaves people uninterested. I thought of ways to save myself from becoming lame. …. this blog is one of them. (GOAL 1)I will record my crazy, eccentric ideas, and post the status on my various projects. But what’s the point if I am the only one spared from this lameness. (GOAL 2) I will save the world of this epidemic of lameness!!! an eccentric super hero. When I am finished people would not want to take LSD because the world would be triply enough. How I will accomplish this I am not sure exactly but look out of my “Saving the masses” blog updates which will report my status
