Bad Hair Day

Today I am insecure.

. . .

I woke to find that yesterday should definitely have been laundry day. All of my stylish/socially acceptable pants were dirty, leaving me with these jeans that are too small in every dimension. They are neither attractive nor comfortable. Cleanliness is really all they have going for them. Also, the best of my 3 shirts available is a long sleeve t shirt with a biblical message on it. Not only have i passed the phase of my life where i believe i can influence people's opinions/thoughts/faith through a witty shirt, "long sleeve" was in this case rather a loose term. In addition, in my weakened state of self-esteem, i noticed that my hair is getting far too long and unruly, and i should have shaved before classes. HOWEVER, now all of that is over, and i can remedy some of the aforementioned issues.

My friend corey made a note that something very important was missing from my favorite shows list: Firefly. Corey, all i can say to you is that i must have repressed all memory of the show during the horrible depression i felt upon learning there would be no more seasons.

For those of you unaware, Firefly is a really wonderful show. If there's even a tiny touch of geekiness in you... well, you should already have seen it. It was cancelled after its first season due to a Fox network scheduling snafu, leaving countless questions completely unanswered, and countless geeks unimaginably disappointed. Thankfully, Joss Whedon agreed to make a movie a few years later, which was nowheres near as good as the TV series, but did its best to wrap up a few of the hundreds of loose ends the show had left.

I thought i was gonna be done talking about Firefly after that paragraph, but i've changed my mind. Its a show about SPACE COWBOYS essentially! They run around doing heroic and morally questionable things! Actually, they may be more akin to space pirates...

AND look at the female cast of this show!!


I was gonna put pictures of all the hot girls that are featured at some point or another in Firefly, but I'm trying not to lose all 2 of my female subscribers in one fell swoop. I'm including Christina Hendricks because... well LOOK at her!! Her breasts are friggin' larger than her head! EACH ONE is larger than her head!! She is outrageously proportioned!! In a good way. (I know this is becoming a pattern, but i swear, this isn't going to turn into 'Nick's Hot Chick of the Day', just stay with me lol)

But so long as we are being misogynistic, while i was at work this evening, one of my friends told me that from birth, a newborn infant's eyes are the size they will always be, while a person's nose and ears continue to grow throughout their lifetime. Initially, this caused me to think, 'well, i suppose that's why some people age better than others. Their ears and nose didn't grow too fast.'

When i made this declaration to my friend, he asked if i thought mouths grew throughout one's lifetime as well, at which point i noted that when a baby is born, their mouth is juuuuuuust big enough to fit a nipple in! And if our mouths remained baby sized, we would surely starve to death. And THAT'S when it hit me! ... We are doing it wrong...

I'm on a roll? Hey, why are girls stupid? because they suck at sports!

Honestly now. I'm done pandering to my male readership
I might not be. Dont worry guys, everyone knows men have better vision than women

So this past weekend i got pretty drunk, and upon returning home to the apartment, i got the hiccups. I decided the only way to get rid of them was holding my breath until they went away. I held my breath until i passed out. So... VICTORY!!! NO MOAR HICCUPS! And i got a nap in! A really long one.

Alright, have a lovely day everyone. I'm off to go be responsible!!

  1. haha, nice Nick.
    But what's this about you needing to shave? I thought you couldn't grow facial hair yet.
    And what was that about cutting your hair? Didn't you know, long hair is in on guys now. Why? Because I said so damnit.
    And damn those boobs are huge, it's almost scary.
