Monkey see monkey do.

Though I'd much rather be posting a journal containing a new free-write, I thought it's finally time for me to start addressing certain issues and stop playing the dumb blue-headed card. I apologize for the writing quality -- I'm beyond delirious at the moment from lack of sleep. Someone needs to come put me in a straitjacket and escort me to the bed. I'm too stubborn.

I very rarely address dramatic issues, however I find this particular situation a bit comical.

For the last several months, a certain someone has added me on every single one of my social networking sites, and has attempted to add everyone on my friends lists. This includes my personal friends whom I communicate with via phone, etc. I've been confronted about this person on several occasions, saying how they repeatedly try to send a friend request every time they're denied.

All this while, this individual comments me with compliments, until one day I am accused of copying this person. I laughed this off, as there was no possible way I was "copying," due to my hair style being the same way it is now since July of '08. I did not pursue this issue whatsoever, however I noticed a few days later that I was deleted off this person's friends list. Interesting. I sent friend request with a friendly message. I get added back, and though a friend sent me this person's link today, I was again unable to visit their page because I was removed from their friend's list.

Furthermore, I am periodically google alerted with sites claiming this individual is me by writing my name in the caption. To try to befriend the same people I talk to is one issue, but claiming my photos/identity as yours is another issue entirely. I really don't appreciate you doing this, and I am requesting that you put an end to this abruptly. You know who you are, and you'll obviously be seeing this as you lurk my page.

I will not ever claim my style, hair, or accessories as "unique," as trends are so clearly recycled and regurgitated over time. The only time I have ever been truly upset is when someone makes a copyright infringement on my writing. When you steal someone's writing verbatim, you are not creating something with your own words and thoughts or individual interpretation - you are stealing. Regardless of this, I urge you to follow your heart with your own style. I have seen you specifically in photos with the same poses on the same furniture with the same props used in other well-known images. People DO take note of this, and in my opinion, it will only deter from your success, if that's what you're striving for.

Cheers

Kaiden

i'm not going to make assumptions and say it is him... but i wouldn't be surprised. the minute i saw that guy's pic i thought he looked like he was copying kaiden -_-; which is exactly why i haven't accepted his request. true - imitation IS a form of flattery... but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed.

I actually met Ruben before I met Kaiden, but we're on and off with our friendship 'cuz the way he 'goes about things'. My ex has blue hair and a monroe, and he's never heard of Kaiden or Ruben. And Ive noticed that he goes on about how Kaiden stole his style like how Brandon Hilton says Britney Spears stole HIS style.

I've always tried to be extremely real with issues, and I can honestly say that I have never "claimed" a certain style. I've never flogged someone for "copying" me, because in my opinion it's more petty to make such a claim than to "copy" it in the first place. I didn't write this blog because I'm offended by a few similarities, but because of the way this individual has gone from a slight annoyance to someone who's now trying to be a bit malicious.

I know, and that's why I've come to respect you a lot more than I respect him.

I can't stand Ruben Martins! He first copied Hanna Beth then moved on to Audrey and then moved on to you! He needs to get his OWN STYLE!!!!!
