Those wooden beads..

Wez

What are people oppinions on these? I recently started hanging out with some guys from school and they all wear them. They're all really cool, and look even better. I have a silver neck chain, but I wanna replace it with wooden beads. I bought a bracelet, but it broke, and I'm planning on getting another. Just wanna know peoples oppinions on them.

And btw, I'm not picking this style cause it's theirs, cause I've always wanted it, but never had the balls to change..

I recently made the change from a neck chain to beads and now I wear them all the time, I guess you could say there my lucky beads. lol!

I bought them in TopMan, I think they look way cooler and the girls ive been with all seem to prefer them!

Wez

That's what I'm hoping will happen!

I buy mine from the stalls on Grafton street and O'connell bridge. I prefer to help out the little man, rather than the big companies.. But that's just me. I pay 3 euro for a bracelet, and 4-5- euro for a neck one. What's the prices in topman?

Tobias Greeshman

I got three necklace/beads for €7. Buying them off O'Connell Street, sounds a bit better, and cheaper too.!

Did you haggle him?

pfft, I totally set that trend. I've been wearing wooden beads for so long it's laughable, theyre pretty hot on guys though.

'Cause she looks so bad with them.

Shrimp

hhhhaaaaaaa.... good one............. NO.. :cool:

Rozabeez

It's laughable because usually people grow out of wearing a certain type of style, I have yet to grow out of wearing beads.

cajun_tiger

Baaa baaaaa

Rozabeez

Yeah, I should really start copying other people 'cos I think they look cool.

Rozabeez

Of course you should! But eh...then wooden beads arent the way to go, wear wooden beads cos you like the fell of them, say if you don't like wearing metal or something? I prefer wooden bead, plastic and stones cos I like how they feel, chains annoy me.

Shrimp

This is not the only thread where people seem to think that the only reason people get the thing they do is for a trend and to look cool. Weather that is the case or not is irrelivent. I mean, in my opinion I think beads look grand on guys and girls, not all though. I have a set and I wear them.

But what I really have a problem with is, you have these other people who come in here and say that we are all sheep and we are following the pack, but infact they are the ones that are saying this, to be cool, and different, trying to get noticed by having a "radical" opinion. If you have a problem with something, but it's not really affecting you or harming you, then dont slag it.

Simple!

I think this is pathetic. Nowhere did I say I'm cool by having a radical opinion. It's not exactly radical is it? To call ye sheep because you're brain washed into buying something by similarly brain washed gimps. Much in the same way The Poncho happened.

All humans are sheep. Just pointing it out.

Nothing posted on these boards "affects" me. So should I just stop posting my opinion all together?

So you're a self-confessed sheep.

Dr. Loon

No. I'm an exception to the rule. There's a few of us about. I'm a "black sheep". You're a standard white sheep... but essentially nobody is unique. You are more un-unique than others though.

azezil

was wearing one for the past year... but i kept chewing on it and it broke >_<

Shrimp

yeah, Mine isn't lose enough to chew on

Shrimp

Chick

Do you always contradict yourself this much Dr. Loon?

cajun_tiger

yes he does but thats why we love beads

Dr. Loon

Sangre, your brain clearly isn't functioning to full capacity.

Unless you're getting involved in semantics, I would figure it fairly obvious that I'm indicating I'm not your standard white sheep. Rather, I am an exception being a black one.

Even more obvious though, should be how I am "extracting the urine" so to speak, or "taking the Michael".

Balls to change?? WTF its a piece of string with some wood on it not exactly a powerful statement. Oh and its cute that you want to be different........ like your friends.

I like your style.

nah, like it's mainly the effort like. When I say that I mean getting new clothes, because I used to be one of those guys that always wears trackies, but I had to get a new wordrobe like. Wooden beads are well cooler than neckchains imo. And the thing about my friends is, I used to hang out with the kinda guys that wears Scanda and **** like that, who hate being 'mellow'. So therefore I couldn't wear what I really wanted. But lately I've just been bored, and decided I couldn't be bothered dressing how people want me to. This way is the best!

Sangre

Yeah, was thinking of picking up a pair myself, think it would look great with my livestrong band, converse sneakers, jansport rugsack and poncho. Perfect. Central bank here I come!

I love the way wearing these things makes me feel like a big man because it shows I have the balls to wear what I want to wear.

R'spect.

cajun_tiger
