How long have you been taking cello lessons she said.
Going on five years I said.
That’s cool she said.
We gave my father cello lessons for his retirement present and he still loves them she said.
That’s nice I said.
Neat how she got father and retirement into the same sentence like that.
Haircut appointments often trigger a crisis for me. Thoughts of makeovers.
In fact it’s simple: grey = short, end of story.
In fact it’s simple: forget about the hair and lose fifteen pounds.
In fact it’s simple: who gives a shit, look at Tom Waits or Billy Bob Thornton. Look at Harrison Ford, on the other hand: all the money in the world and he reminds me of someone’s great-aunt.
On the other hand, look at Kevin Spacey. Or my dad. He could play Billy Bob’s dad in a movie.
Hey, you look good, suave even. So banish these thoughts. lead to the senile side they do…
Thanks, TH. You too. However, I don’t want to look just good, I want to look *as good as Francis’s picture*.
it makes me warm all over that you appear to be at least as vain as I am.
Hey, I don’t look like that in person, I don’t think. I’m fatter. And balder. And more wrinkly, with big bags under my eyes. It’s amazing what you can do when your best friend is a fashion photographer and lets you sit beside him while he touches up the photo he’s just taken.
I’m lucky, my hair isn’t going gray (my dad died with out any gray hair on his head), BUT my beard is going gray, it started out with this white part in the middle and dark on the sides, I used to be “The Badger” during that time. But the badger has left the building and it’s almost all gray almost all over.
I’m okay with it, but I wonder if I should die it for job interviews so as not to look too old.
I could shave off my beard, but then I would be left with the “no chin” issue. Having a chin like Pee Wee Herman is not a great plus either.
It’s a conundrum
“with out any””should die it” Man, where is that meaning and context and spell checker for this little comment box?
I meant of course “without any” and “should dye it”
With a name like “Billy Bob Thornton” a guy will always be 19.
Holy cripes, look at Francis! His come-hither gaze just left a little burnmark on my monitor. And yeah, what TH said: you may not have the hot bald guy thing going for you like Francis, but you still look fantastic.
Our pal Iain was here last week (Iain who we saw right after you, last time we were there) and I showed him the snapshot of you with Apocalyptica while we rawked out to a cd of theirs. He said “Wow, he looks way too smart to be hanging out with those guys.”
For a second I thought he was just being defensive, like reaffirming his hetero lifestyle choice in the face of all the hair and leather and whatnot, but the one bar he actually got to while visiting was in fact a gay leather bar. So. You should go ahead and take it as a compliment.
