Trendless

As you can see by this blog I am by no means trendy or a hipster.  If I was there would not be a multiple color polka dot background instead there would be a simple and sleek solid color, or a picture of a barn, or an artsy fartsy black and white picture of something.  I am a term I have just termed 30 seconds ago and have titled this blog entry as such; trendless.

If I was truly trendy I would be a "hipster" I would go to coffee shops for atmosphere and organic purposes not for convenient sake (although I am lucky enough to have a very trendy and hipster coffee shop just open up downstairs from me).  If I was a hipster I would wear muted colors and earth tones instead of the bright pinks, yellows, and oranges that fill my closet.  If I were a cool trendy person on the cutting edge I would have a pin-trest and be interested in crafts and etsy.  If I wore muted colors and had black square rim RayBan everyday glasses I would have a crush on a skinny under ground musician, instead I have an enormous crush on an all American, football playing, Jesus loving, hero to many, beefy young man by the name of Tim Tebow.  But most importantly if I were a cool, Oregonian-esk person this blog would be searching for meaning and essentially trying to be deep with no real depth.  Clearly this blog is not that... you can see it, this blog is nonsense.

I will be honest I am not a serious person.  I am not a trendy person.  I am me.  I am honest.  I love Jesus.  Under my religion on FB it says "I love Jesus first and my neighbors second" which is truly something I strive for but many times fail at.  I am trendless and do not see the point in trying to change that, unless for the soul purpose to bring people to that truth; the truth about Jesus.  The problem I have and see is that to be a hipster is to not look up too or idealize anyone, or be following a trend.  Everyone is following a trend where it is trendy to follow no trend, but clearly you can see the trend... understand?  If it was truly cool to not follow the trend I would be cool, but that is not what they are looking for.  So until the trend goes back to being trendy, my being trendy will not promote the one truth everyone needs to hear.  Jesus love you, trendy or not.  He loves you in your olive greens, and your hot pinks, he loves you with your espresso brown fleeces, and your royal blue cardigans, he loves you with your long plain chains and with your conservative pearly pearls. He loves you with your mussed bed head and your layers of aqua-net. He loves you.  There is nothing you can do to make him love you more there is nothing you can do to make him love you less, he is THE constant and that is not a trend.
