Sweet Enlow

I just spent this Thanksgiving weekend with one of my closest friends, Tobias. Tobi is from Germany and, like many Germans – and Europeans alike, the ability to converse makes Americans look like total turds. Nonetheless, our always great conversation inspired this post…

Have you ever thought about every American’s favorite saying, “Ohh, no no, I don’t want to talk about religion or politics.”

Ponder that for a second.

I honestly cannot think of a more ridiculous thing to say in life. What is the problem with discussing ideology?? Adults should have the ability to talk about their passionate beliefs dispassionately. The sad thing is that I could go up to just about any religious person in the country, except maybe Francis Collins, and have them want to murder me within 15 minutes. It wouldn’t even be difficult. Spout something like, “Well, you know that Christianity is not the first Mediterranean religion to celebrate their god’s birthday on December 25,” and I can fire up just about anyone. OMG, it’s a WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Why is this an issue? I once read that people are only really passionate about things that they are not really for certain about. If that is the case, shouldn’t people want to debate issues like religion and politics to sharpen their rhetoric and argumentative ability? If I were a devout Christian, I would want to know every Atheist argument and the counter. And if I were unsure about some of my beliefs, like Health Care or something, then I would want to debate with everyone to gather more information to help formulate an educated opinion. Aside from some of my closest friends, I have found that this ability is severely lacking here in the States – if not nonexistent… which is fucking pathetic.

Definitely like some feedback on this one.

Many know that I have a great interest in fashion and that I enjoy to play dress-up when I go out. Yet, unless I am New York City or Chicago, people will gawk at what I am wearing. It’s even worse around military guys.  Whatever … fuck ‘em for judging.

I wrote a post 6 months ago where I talked about the importance of dressing appropriately for the situation. The same rules apply. Clearly, I am not going to get dolled up in Lawton. However, when I do want to look tite in maybe Tulsa or somewhere similar, it’s always annoying when you have to constantly comment of what you wearing. Seriously.

I was essentially single for the last two years until only recently, and getting looked at by guy’s and girls for the way I dressed was always an issue of content for me for that entire time. Yet, now that I have Babi, who is nothing short of striking, the situation changes. I have gone from being the guy who dresses “weird” – or another intelligent word like “stupid” – to being the guy who wears whatever the fuck he wants and yet has a beautiful woman with him.

Why?

If you can’t already figure it out, it is because I (or anyone obviously) go from looking “different” – in not a good way – to looking interesting because of my woman. No longer do I look like I am trying to hard to be cool, but simply that you are cool. I am not alone kicking it with bro’s, but rather hanging with a tite girl who loves me and who other people want to get with (like Snoop Dawg – true story).

The same rules apply for the guys who don’t like to wear cool clothes, but rather like to wear sweat pants and cut-off T-shirts to the bar – like Mayville or Fortsch. Both these guys basically do the opposite of me and yet both have hot girls who love them. They basically go from looking like bums to becoming the guys “who do.not.give.a.fuck. It’s the power of the beautiful woman.

So, if you fortunate enough to have a beautiful girl like you – up your style game (or continue to not give a shit). You are now above being judged.
