Surprise Song Sunday: I Need Your Love - Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding



I don't normally do house and stuff, but this album is pretty madcore.

A belt doesn't suit me.

When one Google's random questions, the most inane debates become apparent.

This has sort of been on the edge of my consciousness for a while now, but what really brought the inanity of it all to my attention was my Googling of the following question the other day:

Should one always wear a belt with a suit?

Seemingly a mundane, trivial, and, dare I say it, not all too game-changing a question.

From the way people go on about it though, you'd think it was something of global significance.

You have two distinct camps of people. Those who think that belt loops should always be filled, and those that think that a belt ruins the clean, continuous lines of a suit.

Within these two groups, there are further divergences e.g. suspenders, no belt loops, get proper-fitting pants. I'm not going to bore you with details. You can always Google the debate yourself.

The point, in the absence of anything approaching one in this post, is that any topic that you deign to research throws up a plethora of opinions. It's just interesting to see how strongly people feel about such obscure topics. (They did feel strongly. There was mud-slinging, name-calling, and categorisation flying all over the place).

Anyway, I've decided to go beltless for the time being until either (a) I find a belt to my liking, within a reasonable price range, or (b) somebody tells me that I forgot to put on my belt. Ideally, I'd get rid of the belt loops, but I'm not that rich, hence the lack of belt. A prime example of a vicious cycle of pain and anguish.

I figure that whether or not somebody tells you you've forgotten your belt depends heavily on how the rest of you looks. You know, shirt, tie, the cut of your suit. I'm relying on relative well-cutness of my clothing to get me through this. In any event, it'll be an interesting social experiment. Actually, it may not be a social experiment. Just an experiment then.
