Fads that Just Won’t Quit

22 May

I suppose it’s simply a part of the human condition to become gradually desensitized to things, such as how you don’t really realize how long your hair is getting, or how you stop noticing that gross cat-uriney smell in your apartment building’s hall, or how the skyrocketed unemployment rate is slowly becoming just the way it is.

But then, if you’re lucky, there comes a day when reality hits you like a kickball to the side of the face, and you think, holy crap, what in the hell is going on? And in this small moment of transcendence you realize how ridiculous somethingl is. Enter: fads that just won’t go away.
