To the Boys in Boise
You've got mail.
Hey Mestee,
Funny stuff about your bad hair day..ever consider the flat-top, or even a hip-looking version of a tomahawk(whoa..that's an oxymoron). There is a new version of Afro-Sheen on the market, which may or may not be politically correct for you to check out. There's always that Flowbee made famous on infomercials that could potentially tame thet mane of yours. The Fabio look is also happening, as shown on recent blogs. So many options, so little time.

Dear Bob,
Thanks for the comment. I have, in fact, been known to sport the ol' flat-top in the past (last seen during junior year of high school), but I don't plan on returning to that look anytime soon, even though it would be my mother's dream come true. You also suggested a hip looking version of a "tomahawk". I must educate you on the proper nomenclature of hair-do-ology. I believe that you are referring to the mohawk, a style which began with the Native American tribe of the same name and came back into counter-culture fashion with the punk movement during the late 70's and early 80's (pictured below - left). The "hip version" of this would be the more trendy faux hawk, which is kind of a toned-down version of the mohawk that your grandmother wouldn't be offended by (pictured below - right). I will not be sporting any of the above in the near future, but I hope you can share this newly acquired info with the people of Boise.
Truly Yours,
Brian
I have had a bit of a phobia of the wind ever since it wreaked havoc on my 4th birthday and delayed my 7th birthday party by a few days (damn you, Hurricane Gloria!). Perhaps phobia is a bit misleading. I'm often annoyed by it...yeah, that's more accurate. This morning, the wind had me holding onto my umbrella for dear life, hoping not to be taken away Mary Poppins-style. Eventually, as I stood next to the train tracks, my umbrella blew completely inside-out, which is never a great situation. Maybe I should be blaming my crappy CVS umbrella instead of the wind. Can they not make umbrella's that don't flip inside-out during a stiff breeze? Can we get someone working on this? NASA? Raytheon? That would be great. Anyway, I had to turn to face the wind so my umbrella would flip back to it's intended shape, then closed it because I'd rather be wet than supremely frustrated. Score: Wind 385, Brian 0. Oh wind, why must you aggrevate me so?
