| | CHARLTON HESTON IS DEAD!!!FUCKIN' YEAH AWESOME!!!!
Fuck grammar, fucking Charlton Heston is fucking finally motherfucking DEAD! I felt like a mildly bad person for being this happy over someone's death, but then I remembered, "Shit, it's fucking Charlton motherfucking Heston!"
YEAH!
Ahem...
In other news (and in keeping up with the mildly non-committal monthly post promise), work and school are the same old, same old. However, I don't believe I've updated all y'all on the status of my mustache.
A couple of weeks back, I decided to be bold and began to style my facial hair as follows:
I also made it a point to start punctuating my comments on Facebook with "Nyah!"
It's been entertaining and enjoyable. It's also strangely confidence boosting.
Although it is an attention grabber (I do get more looks and smiles in the mall), at no point do I make the mistake of thinking it's attractive. Yeah, a lot of pretty girls look at me directly and smile back when I smile at them, but there's no way it's from the thought of "Ooh, that mustache is making me feel... mmm..." It's silly, it's funny, and it's ridiculous in a fashion, but it's also pretty awesome. I feel it very much reflects my personality.
It's kooky, but when you get used to it, it's just another facet of me that makes people smile. At work, people had great reactions, everywhere from "Dude, that's AWESOME!" coupled with a high five to "Dude, that's fucking creepy. You look like Sir Rapes-a-Lot." Granted, that latter reaction was to the above picture and not to seeing it in person, but regardless. Now, it's just another everyday thing.
It has also given me full right to acknowledge awesome facial hair and be acknowledged in return. I made one awesome-looking grandpa's day when I simply got his attention for a moment and told him he had a great mustache (it was styled like mine, only bigger and more awesome). He grinned, thanked me, and returned my compliment. Then we went our separate ways.
I'm not aiming for Wilford Brimley status (You know, the "Diabeetus!" guy. He was also in John Carpenter's "The Thing" apparently.)
This is a new picture, taken right now to show the mustache coupled with my dandy new hat:
There will be another hat later on (a proper top hat), but this is basically what I look like when I go to work. The pointiness of the mustache varies, depending on whether or not I've decided to wax it that day.
And that's pretty much it for now.
Nyah!
Mujah
PS One last thing, for the gamers: If you loved Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox back in the day in any of its various incarnations and no longer have access to it, I highly recommend downloading it to your Xbox 360 from the Marketplace for only fifteen bucks. I had COMPLETELY forgotten exactly how fucking PERFECT the gameplay was. It's still the best action game I've ever played (I feel almost inclined to say "Fuck God of War."), and the gameplay is still way sharper and more polished than anything else out there.
And for those complaining it's too hard, shut your fucking traps. You're LITERALLY complaining about not being good enough to enjoy something amazing, and if you only put the time and effort into actually improving at the game, you'd get better. The beauty of Ninja Gaiden is that every time you die, every bit of damage you take, you know you could have avoided if you'd only been a tiny bit faster, or if you hadn't taken that stupid risk and left yourself open when you saw that other guy coming at you.
NGB is worth it for the Lunar weapon alone. Smacking an enemy with a giant stick with metal wrapped around the ends until its head comes off is still gleefully gratifying. |
