The self-consciousness of my self-conscious self-conscience

Everyone here looks at me funny.

Is it my clothes? I don’t have a black pleather or down jacket, so maybe that’s it.

Is it my face? I’m trying my best to adopt the oft-expressionless glare, but my nodding-and-tight-lipped-smiling-upon-making-eye-contact tendency is a dead giveaway.

Is it my hair? I am devoid of a mullet or shaved head, so that may have to change. On second thought, no it doesn't.

Is it that my eyes always seem to be bloodshot? I blame my new contact lens solution, or maybe its just the dirt.

Or am I imagining all of this? Probably not. I do give off the ‘sore thumb’ vibe here.

As far as I'm concerned, however, the real sore thumbs are those wearing surgical masks against swine flu. Check this out. http://www.rferl.org/content/Swine_Flu_Fear_Leads_To_Designer_Masks_In_Kazakhstan/1802846.html

Also, I butchered a fried chicken yesterday. It became part of my 11 pm dinner.

  1. The fabulous book i just finished reading said that mullets are actually an extremely inspired haircut. Why? No one likes long hair on the top because it falls in your eyes. Everyone wants long hair to run your fingers through. Put it together and a great recipe for a mullet shines sparkling through. :)
