Indie Philosophy.. not 100% implementable

Being one of the main trail-blazers for the incorporation of the indie philosophy into different aspects of life, this has unforeseeable consequences. like many rogues and rebels i often strive into the unknown, armed only with my ideals and my iPod. In many ways the pioneering has paid off, like helping other indie folk to understand and enjoy indie life to it's fullest. but sadly with so much exploration into the unknown there are bound to be one or two wrong turns and of course a fair share of dead ends. So while i greatly promote any readers that are attempting to strive with me into the uncharted abyss that is indie-nirvana* I would like to help you steer away from areas which i have found no avenues of implementation for the indie way.

1) Study:
it doesn't get much more indie than college, this is where we learn how much better we are than other people. Where we discover that being judgemental is not a bad character trait,but a "Spidie Sense" for indie folk. for me it is where my research into the bounds of indie life first hit a speed-bump, this was Exam Time. Exams are defiantly not an area where the Indie Philosophy is compatible. having spend most of my time studying the most obscure parts of the course, i was shocked! when the most obvious topics would be asked. the ignorance of my naive lecturers towards the indie philosophy was about to end my college career prematurely. I couldn't just abandon my entire belief system in order to adhere to what "everyone else" was learning. I had a crisis of faith... but i was save upon realizing that anonymous marking had been implemented at the college. there was almost no way for someone to discover the knowledge i had picked up was as common as Britney Spears. after learning all of this popular knowledge it took almost 3 weeks of indie cleansing to forget the information. so be prepared, have some VERY obscure music** ready for you post exam cleansing.

2)Public Transport:
i could go into great depth about how the marriage of public transport and indie is riddled with more domestic abuse then a marriage between Mike Tyson and Aileen Wuornos, but i wont. Just image yourself waiting with rain soaked flares and faded button badges while you watch as the bus bounding towards you is in fact ANOTHER bloody 46A.

3)Buying a Car:
As it happens not everything from the 1960's is as good as The Small Faces and generally I've found that if it's not vinyl, smelling like a charity shop, goes well with your cord jacket or been owned by a musician it's more hassle than it's worth. best bet just get a car made 2 years ago that nobody in there right mind would want. If you live in Europe this means get an American car, if you live in America it means start hoping that there's a 46A coming your way.
while I'm sure you all agree with everything my research has unveiled you can NEVER admit it to ANYONE.. so if your asked, memorise THESE answers.

1. "So far I've studied every album released from 1961 to 1979.. that sold under 300 records"
2. "Oh i got the 8C into town today"
3. "It may look brand new... but i was in fact hand carved by Nick Drake in 1968"

*this does in NO way make reference to a band that may or may not be called nirvana
**this obscure music could contain Aberfeldy, Duke Special or "these guys"
