Oh, cool.

I don't know what that means. I like your shirt, dan. Harrinator's looks good, except I don't like brown. That's just personal preference, though. I should start looking for a boater hat. Good for warm days, because I find straw versions of true hats ridiculous. And a hat made of felt when it's hot is just plain ridiculous.

You should fight him. Just out of principle, though. Fighting about fashion is stupid. But if you must, remember: no touching of the hair or face. Or shoes. That [cabbage]'s expensive, bro.

Depends on the pattern for me. If it's grungy, I doubt I'll like it. But plaids can be very cool. Flannels usually have less desirable patterns to me, so cotton is a win-win. But if it's bright and cheerful, and the shirt is cut well, I generally want the [cabbage] out of it.

Let her be your wingman, girls are better at it than guys. Plus if you're with a hot girl it's an instant dhv. I have two of these. Straight, though. Because my best friends, who are my best wingmen, are unfortunately better looking than me. Although me and my two closest friends cruising together usually does attract attention. And every girl thinks the best looking one is gay, half of the girls think the other one is gay. Only dudes have ever thought I was gay. And that's because I'm not arrogant in their way. I will concede that I'm often an [wagon], though. But my two lady wingmen are fantastic. They told me they expect the same from me, but not many guys will approach them unless it's brutally obvious that we're not together. Plus, they both come from wealthy families, which means they know everybody. Wooooooooooo! Oh, were you guys discussing problems or something?

I do it to show my belt. Never have showy buckles or anything, it's just good to show where it does buckle. Creates a break in my height.

Haha, I was gonna say. I look like a complete arse in my picture, so it would make sense.

Compliments, you're doing things right boyo. I'm bringing back the bow tie to its original glory.

She beats him, too. But she's such an awkward, generally unattractive person that she kind of sucks the fun out of the room. She's always been nice enough to me, but now I hear she threatened a girl that was in the musical with him. Then again, he threatened to "[bleep]ing kill" that same girl's 10-year old sister. They're weird. And she's not "ugly". She's ugly. Not "terrible": awful. Although I guess they are a "couple" since I've already just about convinced him to break up with her for another girl that's one of the most delightful people I know.

Oh God my deodorant isn't helping a ton today. Then again, I'm sweating more than I have since I worked on my uncle's ranch. Maybe the most ever. Hit 110 degrees today, yesterday too. Humidity's higher than usual. And I'm tearing out four-foot deep slabs of concrete. Aaaaaaugh

I mess with my friends that go couple on me. They're all terrible couples that I generally hang out with, either my friends have ugly girlfriends or don't know how to interact with them as people. Then I'm usually gone pretty soon. The worst part is that they never tell me when I'm going to be a third wheel. It just happens. And it pisses me off.

It'd be tough to learn from one person in a few months. If you have the opportunity, get Rosetta Stone. Ridiculously good learning software. Spanish is a great language to know here - I used it just the other day to learn some tips in our training from the trainers' work crew. Mexican dudes usually find their own ways to do things that can be helpful.

What? Mine's a 5-speed. I like it. Not really a huge deal or anything, although I laugh at my friends that can't drive one. Every man (women too of course) needs to know how to drive standard.

I like blazers with t-shirts. I don't like pushing blazer sleeves up, skinny jeans (really gray jeans in general), or chuck taylors (well, sometimes). Most people would find it perfectly acceptable, but I'm a buggery old bastard sartorially. I do like your glasses and your hair. You just kind of look like a hipster to me. Hipster fashion is kind of silly. Being so tall and skinny, lighter colors are your best friend for adding weight. Breaking your height up with fairly shocking color changes is helpful too, or belts. I like being considered tall, so a belt usually does it for me, but when you're tall and lanky sometimes it can seem weird. I'm happy I'm solving that problem. Good suits? Can find them all over the place. If you need any special advice, ask. It's the tailoring that will make the difference - a hundred dollar suit can look better than a thousand dollar suit with the right tailor. Although most suits you'll find will range around three hundred dollars - if you aren't growing any more, that won't be much of a problem. A taken-care of, classic suit can last a decade or more if you take care of it. Since you'll be wearing it for business - and it's your first - it should probably be a worsted wool suit in a dark color. Dark navy blue, dark gray. Not black, just dark. Let your shirt and tie hold the flair. Although if you're speaking at these things, it's said that a red shirt with a solid yellow tie is the best to direct attention to your presentation moreso than yourself. I like department stores to get a fair number of mid-quality, mid-priced shirts in conservative colors. Van Heusen at JC Penny sells some fitted shirts that are in slightly more interesting colors, I think they retail for generally 25$. Pretty good shirts. Now, my favorite shirt I own is this orange (everyone says it's coral or salmon, it's roughly orangish) fitted Express Men's shirt. 1MX fitted is the line, I think. Fantastic shirt. But look around. Even thrift stores might have something.

Jacket would be good for working out or running in. Athletic wear is just that, athletic wear. If you want tennis shoes that don't look like tennis shoes, don't buy tennis shoes. The proper term (I consider it British) is trainers. Lacoste makes fantastic grown-up shoes, and there are Converse or classic Nikes, Adidas or Reeboks if you like those. When you roll up your sleeves, since you have small arms, keep them on your forearm and make sure they're folded very tight with just a small bit of the new cuff showing. It will compliment you and make your arms and hands look much larger. I have roughly the same problem. Shirts aren't bad, though. With their length you need to tuck them in. If a shirt comes down below your ass, tuck it in.

Shut the [bleep] up, it's like a three hour drive to Dallas from San Antonio. I'm going to Arizona for job training, leaving at four in the morning. And I've never driven a giant truck before, much less one with a trailer weighing thousands of pounds behind. And that's what I'll be doing, for at least a third of the 13 hour drive. I'll be working. Concrete curbing. Family business we're starting. Me and my brother. Making the moneys. Will be nice. I'll be working like a [bleep] mornings and early afternoons, having fun like a [bleep] by night. Probably going to take some ridiculous trips to ridiculous places for ridiculous reasons. Going to find a barber, a tailor and maybe a good butcher. Basically, I'll be kicking ass and taking names. But I already know everyone's name.

It's a mind-boggling concept. Society as a whole represents everything and nothing of humanity. Our thoughts, ideas, hopes, emotions, all poured into a world of paperwork, radio waves, concrete and nonsense. Taking a walk down a beautifully landscaped walkway brings remarkable feelings of gladness. Seeing a young gentleman assisting an elderly woman across the street brings about hope. Watching that elderly woman spitting hatred at homosexuals makes one sad. Seeing the young gentleman paint hateful paintings of his enemies chokes us up. As with every concept we try and wrap our minds around, society eludes any true definition. The word is thrown around in ridiculous attempts at both modesty and pompousness. Society brings about castes and slavery; democracy and freedom of the press. It is greater than human beings or our creations. Society will outlast all. It is as unending, unreal and unescapable (technically inescapable but [bleep] that noise - I want repetition) as evolution. It happens, we're just too stuck in our own perspectives to notice it. Whales have song; dolphins have women; monkeys have wine. The circle continues.

Hey lent, how tall are you ? 6"2, so in centimeters ... Apparently 182 cm. Oh, and thanks monsieur little boy. no problem :) -littleboy

Need more protein, drink more water, work out more, all that. With clothes like that you'll certainly be ahead of the game. I'm not huge on chucks, but they can still look good. I like those dark jeans.

Not bad. It's tough to look good in places where half the parties end up outside, isn't it?

Woo! I love my records. Have the first two shins records, three john mellencamp, paul's boutique, highway to hell, led zeppelin iv, dream police, and some miscellaneous unimportant 80s music records. I need more, though. I prefer more modern vinyl. I like the heavier feel of 180 gram.

If I have any indexed, GET RID OF THEM DAMN IT please. I want this one! done -littleboy

I want to try an Old Fashioned. Looks tasty. Sweeter bourbon-based drink I think from The Big Easy.

Might look cool. I'd throw on a blazer if you have one, they just add to everything. If you're going to be more casual though, just wear dark jeans. It would look better than almost all black and then stark white. At least you're easing into the contrast. And it'd be good if you had a white belt. And huge white work gloves, to make dancing sexier. And Steve, I can't stand facial hair for one thing. My sideburns, mustache and under my chin grow ridiculously fast. I'm told (and agree) that I seem much older than fifteen. That can probably translate to faster facial hair growth. Plus, it all grows in differently colored. It's [bleep]ing stupid. Plus, I like shaving. Ritualistic, gives me time to think. (last night's theater banquet, hands up in my junk provided by my friend)

Call her on her [cabbage]. It sounds like a cry for attention to me. Not necessarily rudely, but tell her to grow up and that people aren't as obsessed with her as she thinks. It's a lot easier to be mean (well, push the limits) to girls than women. Because most women will fight right back. Like hellcats. Mreow.
