Times are tough. I think I am ready to be a free bird, but I am not.

I guess I am late on the Gladwell train. wait I am really late. He wrote this in 2002... but

What an interesting concept. The little things matter yes, and Malcolm you have drilled that into my head by repetition, as well as stunning and diverse situations such as the drop of crime in New York, the makings of sesame street, teenage smoking, and suicides in Micronesia. I have to admit that the hushpuppies in Greenwich thing got played out after the first chapter. I really buy this concept, I especially like the various cases that the book presented about how environment is very influential on human behavior, and that we often fail to acknowledge it. BUT then it had to talk about Airwalks. I hate airwalks (ugly pieceashits that I am glad resulted in failure!)...and I thought of all the marketing, advertising sales turds that will read this book and try to be cool and blow out of the water all the things subcultures and "cool" kids live off of. Like the things that mean so much....*&(^*^%.

Now I am a little bitter.. like this is great, but how much does this contribute to society. Am I really enthused that Gladwell pretty much summed up the behaviors of people and that we seem that easy to figure out. yes. ok. I'm done.
