All over, people are suffering, persevering, and making their dreams come true. Somewhere in the universe, The Local Nutcase is reconsidering what his blog stands for. Where is the beer?

My Declining Sense of Fashion Apathy

So, I have decided (after many people told me to) not to let my hair grow long. Perhaps it WAS a bad idea, but it was a cheap way I knew to kind of change my style a bit.

Does anybody else have that? Every so often, I like to really take a look at myself (re: how I dress, how I look, the accessories I wear, etc). I never change these in a way that anybody else might be able to see, but I do enjoy tinkering with myself in tiny ways. For instance, this past time I got a hair cut, I dyed it black for a show. It was a small change, but I felt like slightly different person.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like who I am, and Im vaguely happy with how I look at all times. I mean, ostensibly, it must be working to some degree, because I have friends, and am never ABSOLUTELY desperate for a date. But its nice to feel like a new person, a person with a shade more class than yourself, is it not?

There are cheap ways to change yourself, but sometimes, every once in a while, you kinda feel like you need a big change. (Or, at least, I do.) Sometimes this means a new tattoo, sometimes this means a new haircut (granted, not as permanent), sometimes even a new shirt or pair of pants will help. In the latter part of last year, I felt particularly classy when I began a special shaving regiment.

Hmm. So now, with my hair idea thwarted (granted, I wasnt looking forward to the "my hair looks stupid for a couple weeks" period), I wonder what I should try. Ah, for the days when I will be able to afford clothes again. What do yall think? What new thing should I do to myself that will give me a feeling of confidence and make me look sexy and smart to women of all ages?

PS: On that same note, for everyone who was wishing for me to do this a long time ago, I have given up hair gel for pomade. No more crunchy helmet hair. Still, though, dont touch it, unless we are concurrently making love.

Do I hear a cry for help? I think we have a straight guy who needs the queer eye. Paging the Fab Five!!!

(I'm just kidding. Really, I would just like someone I know to be humiliated on a reality show. Tee-hee.)
