It’s been sometime since I have written. I realize that this has been disappointing to the two people who have actually read anything ever posted here, so I decided it was time and figured I even had a topic worth discussion.
A week or so back my son asked me if I had downloaded from iTunes the new Brad Paisley song “I’m still a guy”. Well I finally got around to it yesterday and while I really liked the song and am steadfast in my manhood, I immediately wondered if I had crossed the line. The verse that caused my consternation goes like this:
These days there's dudes getting facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tacklebox
With all of these men lining up to get neutered
It's hip now to be feminized
I don't highlight my hair
I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy
While I never have had my hair highlighted or experienced a spray-on tan I have enjoyed a good waxing, the nasal variety. (check the pic above)
A month ago a friend of mine let me know my nose hair was getting a little unruly. Unruly? Are you kidding me? I have clipped every way I know how to keep the ole olfactory tidy and well groomed. Apparently to no avail. That is where the wax comes in. My friend informed of a method involving hot wax, 2 wood dowels and a tiny bit of discomfort. He had experienced it once before and said it was worth every second. His testimonial along with the free nasal inspection was all I needed.
The next night I found myself breathing heavily through my mouth, nervously awaiting that tiny bit of discomfort I mentioned earlier. As the expert nose-waxer gripped the bridge of my nose with one hand and secured a good foot hold on the chair I was in, she ripped those dowels from my nose like she was pull-starting an old lawnmower.
No further explanation is needed. I now breathe free and easy and have no visible scars emotionally or physically from my first waxing experience. The picture above is evidence of the procedures effectiveness. So while Mr. Paisley may have issue with a good waxing, I believe I’m still a guy, just one with no unruly nose hair.
