THE POWER OF THE MUSTACHE

When I was four, I used to think my father (Ted) was the ultimate hero. He was strong, he could fix just about anything and he would even fix my hair because my mother's hands were too weak to tame my nappy tangles. I'd often watch him shave his chin and ask why he would never shave his mustache. He told me that he'd feel naked without one. I always assumed that it was because all his power was derived from it. And it made sense because a lot of powerful men throughout history had a mustache. During my childhood, Chuck Norris, Hulk Hogan, Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds and even Jesus (to name a few) were sporting the mustache. Can you blame me?

Now I'm all "grown up," I obviously know that the ability to grow mustache does not give you brute strength. However, I am in full support for facial hair.

Ted stays true to his mustache and so can you!

BE A MAN! GROW A MUSTACHE!

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PIGEON MAN

I  shared a ten minute conversation with the pigeon man on 16th and Guerrero yesterday evening. I told him about how my father would feed the pigeons on our porch and how I cleverly named them Toe Jam and Earl. He told me about his bird named Moanie Groanie, who he named on account of her moaning when she wanted to be fed.

He's been around pigeons for 14 years and he mentioned that pigeons are born with little flies that cling to their wings. He described them as insect pigeons because they had beaks too. Once, he tried to kill them, and they pecked his face. From then on he left them alone and figured they were protectors of the pigeons. 

Sounded a bit off, especially coming from a man with one tooth and long white hair dressed in a warrior headband. 

A quick Google search revealed that there are parasites called "pigeon louse flies" which have pointy faces and cling to the wings of pigeons. 

PIGEON MAN: 1     SHEENA: 0

LESSONS LEARNED:

- Never underestimate a man's knowledge based on how many teeth he has.

- The amount of wisdom comes from the length of a man's hair. Every inch of hair is a story to tell.

BEING A GROWN UP

Nowadays, I often sit and think a lot. Where i come from, what i've come to know, the people i choose to keep in my life and yet, I still don't know what to think. One thing is for sure - Nothing is permanent. So, when times are rough, when you're in doubt, when discomfort arises, just know, that you can do something about it. Options are always there, whether you believe it or not - it's a matter of recognition and realization. Change? Change what? change yourself? NO! BECOME YOURSELF! Accept who you are and grow - you can't please everyone, so why not please yourself and others who are willing to take you as you are. 


GO TEAM GO!


Ok, off the soap box.
