This morning I cashed in on some gift checks and bought myself a new pair of pants… skinny jeans with large different colored back pockets. And for my shirt, a green striped muscle shirt with really short sleeves. To top it off, I told my barber I wanted an “emo haircut”.
My barber didn’t know what the “emo haircut” looked like, fortunately the lady in the same barbershop knew, so I got my “emo haircut”. The recommendation for emo haircut is to add gel to make my hair stand. No way, I’m not polluting myself. I can put some water on it.
So after lunch I wear my new stuff and parade to my wife. She says absolutely no way. No way to go on business calls wearing teenage looking stuff. Hey, my 28 year old brother in law wears this kind of stuff. Besides, I’m a web developer… I need to look fashionable… artistic.
What’s more is I feel young so I should look young, I’ve got it so I’ll use it. Why should I dress up to look like I’m 40?
I learned that the Hunza men looked the same between 20 to 80 years old. Maybe this health kick I’m getting into should get me on that same youthful track. So here’s to 40 more years of looking the same and following the idiotic popular fashions.
