Sir I believe it's intended to represent the duality of man, sir.

Do you ever think to yourself you really should go just one night without it, but you can't possibly do that so you only take half, and then you forget you took half and compliment yourself on how well you're coping with not taking any?

No?

Maybe it's just me.



Had a job interview this morning, and I'm afraid. Of course I'm afraid I won't get the job, there were five other people in the lobby, but more than that I'm afraid I will get the job. I'd hate working there, I hated the person who interviewed me. Joking with me about how miserable married men are and how the government screws up everything it touches. It's a sales position and I'm just so not the type. It wouldn't be quite as bad as the scene from Lost where Charlie pukes on the photocopier, but pretty close. The problem is after going so long without getting any responses I'm starting to apply for jobs I don't even want.

At one point the interviewer said "Once you hit 50... Are you over 50?" "Getting there, HAHAHA!" Dude I'm not even close. I started going grey at 21, especially my beard. Yeah I hear ya, shave it off - well it serves a purpose, it hides my face. I've been debating if I should dye it but I've always considered that vaguely dishonest, like a push-up bra. False advertising. But now it's like my beard is already lying, telling everyone I'm much older than I am, so it'd really only be correcting a misperception. Of course there's always the chance it'll look ridiculous, or burn my face, or run down the front of my shirt in the rain like some Dali painting.

By the way, I know the Full Metal Jacket quote above isn't exact. I like my version better.
