Satire, it's the new black.

Shake your body...
After my workout I stumble into the locker room and for whatever reason notice that I've got the best body in the room. This is a first. I must now admit that it was around 2:00 and the competition was not very formidable, but still...

Who's a cunning linguist?
What the hell did he just say? Yeah, that's me... I'm the one that is always coming up with the notable quotables. Yesterday I was telling a story that someone didn't get and I popped off with "hang on, let me throw it in reverse, come back, and pick you up"... she got it the second time... last week it was "You can paint that pony any color you like but it 'aint gonna run any quicker", yes, that was to some work type folks.

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
We're in Vegas at the MGM for fight weekend... "The Golden Boy" vs. "Sugar Shane"... not the place to be if you are not a fight fan... I'm there with my wife for her 20th reunion... man was that fun, all the folks she knew in high school... now they are all 20 years older and amazingly, so few of them have changed much... the cheerleader types all ditched their hubbies and hung out together... everyone else just hung out, ate the dinner, checked out the old pictures, looked at the new pictures of the kids and left... "see ya' in another 10 years"... we'll see who got fat, bald, who got divorced and who still hasn't changed much... big fun.

On the question of hair
The routine is always different, but it's always the same... I'm in a strange town, all alone and... once I start thinking about it, I just can't stop myself... launch sequence activated... I begin to act... I'll get slipped a note by the all knowing local and feverishly walk to the place... I quickly check in and wait my turn... plenty of magazines around to give me ideas of what I want them to do to me... plenty of time for me to get second thoughts... I don't even know these people... but one rule is understood - once you start, there is no backing out... I'm in it until it's over... I'll have to see through to the end... I'll need to live with myself and with what is about to happen and everyone will be able to see me... they will see what I've done and they will know... there is no predicting if it will be good or horrible but it will be with me for a long time... it's the excitement of the unknown and the thrill of the danger... it's not the cheating that gets to me... it's the knowing that no matter how good, I'll only get one chance... only one opportunity... it's a haircut... and if I'm lucky it'll be great.
