It occurred to me today as i was leaving work and polishing an apple on my shoulder that i look pretty damn good eating an apple. I came up with a theory when i was living in Münster that if nothing else, i look good eating apples, so i ate apples all the time. There's something to the way i bite with a bit of reckless abandon, but without the Roman-esque excesses of juices dripping down my chin...
When i'm not biting, i hold the apple well, slightly daintily at the ends of the core, but without seeming overly concerned with getting my hands a bit sticky... My arms swing freely, if a bit away from my body (think Brody Peed walking down the halls of Clinton High School, but without the muscles). I've gotten pretty good at walking while eating an apple, i can usually time finishing the apple pretty well with my arrival at a garbage can...
I can even, truly, finish an apple... not in the Teutonic sense, perhaps, where you eat ALL of the apple, stem, core & seeds, but all the way around, then to the top & bottom, getting almost of meat off of it...
So what i really want to know is, what is it that you look really good doing? Dancing in the club ( deine Bewegungen gefählen mir), doing shots, or smoking (i look a lot like John McClane when i smoke, taking entire cigarettes in in just a couple inhalations)... So tell me, in an effort of supporting and promoting self-confidence & positive self image (not in the blow smoke up their ass sense, but for real, quality things that don't generally get noticed).
i'm going to take that link to mean that i look good doing shots, so to that i say, thank you. you're right. i also look good swinging a golf club.
ReplyDeleteindeed you do... indeed you do.
ReplyDeleteThere's an excellent picture of me holding a chicken in either hand. So... I suppose I'm underappreciated for how good I look handling fowl.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm going to suggest that I look good when I dig holes or ditches. Some combination of lanky frame, heavy brow, and determined set to the jaw is working for me there.
yeah... i've got a friend in the program, ron, who's been working on a way to graph 'man-li-ness' which includes manual labor as a major force in determining a subject's manliness...
