In a way, it can be comparable to this last season of House. I’m going though all my old characteristics and deciding which to keep and which ones I could probably do without. What I should add, and what is probably best not to.
Of course, I am still waiting for Cuddy to give me a proper opportunity to show that I am a different person than she probably thinks I am or remembers me as. She is a fair person for the most part, which is one thing I like about her, but is also rather stubborn, which is one thing I like about her. It is however rather frustrating.
Along the topic of frustrating… my hair…
I have Asiany hair. Which I suppose would be alright if I was in fact Asian. The closest thing to Asian in my blood would be when the Indians crossed over the land bridge from Russia into the Americas, and when the Mongols settled in Hungary.
Big frustration #1 (besides dealing with Cuddy of course):
Don’t know what to do with my hair. It is short, therefore there is little that I see can be done with it. The frontrunner in this decision is a hybrid between how Val and I had our hair in Jr. High / a semi-fohawk / how Joey had it in season 4 and 6 of ‘Friends’. I’ve experimented with it a couple of times, there is a problem however, which leads us to…
Big frustration #2:
My goatee or lack thereof. I will go back to blaming the Indian blood (feather, not dot) on this one. The fact that it takes forever to grow was quite a plus in a High School where we had to stay clean shaved. Now that I am actually testing various looks though… it is a bit vexing to have the whole “Cantinflas” look going on. For all you white people… picture the reverse of the “Hitler/Charlie Chaplin” look. Thankfully it is not to the extent that I make it sound, it is just about a centimeter, but still… looks funny.
These two attempts at a look combined on top of my excellent tan… well… I’m afraid I too closely resemble a gay Mexican like I should be whispering to dogs (speaking of, I’m glad to know one of my old friends from HS has moved back to SM).
Ashley C… I’m totally going to see you when I get back for some help in the decision making process. Just, nothing to weird like one of those pansy-ass emos in one of the bands you like. Daniel, I might also get you to play an advisery role in my quest for a new wardrobe to fit my thinner size when I return.
If there is one thing I remember from the BSA Scoutmaster Woodbadge Course it is this:
“Change happens!”
Whether we like it or not, might as well go with it.

Oh E...when you mentioned Cantinflas you made me laugh so hard. I thought I was the only person who knew about him.
ReplyDeleteI suggest just paying the big bucks and going to a hair salon and letting them decide. They do this all the time so they know what looks good.
