Doesn't it bother you that I knew what picture that would be before I even opened it? -Not at all, I could give two shits about what anything I hang on my walls "says about me" from your vantage. I care what it "says to me". What I think of when I see the Abbey Road cover is not what you do. I remember being 12 years old and hearing it for the first time. I remember falling asleep for the better part of that year listening to side two of that album, exploring every inch of that music. So for me, having that image on my college wall wasn't about saying "hey, this is me" it was about saying to myself remember how great it was discovering this? Remember that year?

I'm curious though, what would have passed your cool quotient dublinben? What is hanging on your non conforming walls that encapsulates you, that shows the world what an independent thinker you are?

I guess for me, the art I like, the books I read, the clothes I wear have to tell me something. I don't care what they tell you.
