Top 3 reasons why you should have a Moleskine:
1. Moleskines are legendary notebooks used by: Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and some guy named Bruce Chatwin. I don't know about you, but having a Moleskine makes me feel like I'm in the cool group, with my friends Picasso and Hemingway. Now all I need is to make some bizzare paintings and fight a bull...
2. Do you ever go into a store like Barnes & Noble or Whitcoulls and fan through notebooks or books and smell the paper, or think of the wonderful story inside and the things you will create on the pages? I do, and if you don't, you should. When I get a new Moleskine notebook it inspires me, motivates me to create something, write something, draw something. I attribute this inspiration solely to Moleskine notebooks.
3. When the Zombie uprising comes and we can no longer track our lives via Facebook timeline, all of our history will be erased. Well, yours will, mine won't because I've got my Moleskines.
I hope this blog post inspires all of you to run out and buy Moleskine notebooks.
Debbie, I love those things too, for the reasons you mentioned. Trouble is, I don't have beautiful, incredibly neat penmanship like you, so I can't bring myself to use them. I buy cheap, ugly little memo pads and scrawl my sloppy notes in them. But when I see the Moleskines on display at a bookstore, I always wish I my writing were worthy of such a perfect book.
