Re: The lost tomb of Jesus? Scientist claims he has 'virtually unequivocal evidence'
I've been a brunet with a silver streak (genetic), all my life (that's why I chose Polgara to represent me), so I might have to relocate, since most would probably decide that either I've finally gone over the edge and become weird, or I'm trying to make some kind of statement. If my friends howl with laughter, and some doubtless will, it might be worthwhile either way! :lamo: I could buy one of those turban things studded with rhinestones if I have to, I guess..... then I could be accused of being an attention whore, too. :thumbs: Look at the world of possibilities that would open to me...it might be worth it just to discourage boring hum-drummery in people's lives for a while!
If they are laughing they are not friends.
Look, every day we make a statement. I walk in a kilt [or used to] I am making a statement and yes, some men howl with derision and then go home to dinner for one and some "reality television".
I also live in one of the most up-scale, tony neighborhoods on the west coast of North America, think Soho with a beach. And the women here all seem to figure yoga pants, tied back unwashed hair and sneakers are sexy as that is all we see as they ply the mini Rodeo drive of maternity shops that line my main drag.
I see a woman who has taken the time to stand out a bit, wear some sexy shoes and do their hair, anywhere between 18 to 80 and I look...not only is it rare, but nice.
I was noticing yesterday that at least half the cars on the street are grey or silver, and more than that if you include the grey-blue cars. Even though it is spring, there is very little color and the dress shops are all showing whites and blacks.
We get one shot at this thing called life. Some of us have screwed the pooch so bad they had to start over, but damn, had some awesomely "interesting" times. Those who get that second chance usually have a certain "**** it" attitude, like when the daughter of a friend suggested we print "left" and "right" on my sneakers.....and got it wrong and I wore them anyway [which allowed me to tell her story, a Downs Syndrome kid].
Be different is more necessary now than ever before, You have an edge, you have a silver streak, so build on that, go red or whatever, as long as it's you. And you know what is "you" when you are so comfortable with it you don't care what people say..like when I shaved my head.
