You like a little bad-ass in him and you may like someone like.....Jude Law. But let's face it, the whole point of this was to look at a bunch of hot guys.

Shick Time!
Before:
After.
It was long. This is probably the longest I've ever let my facial hair grow out ever. It was getting so annoying though. I really enjoy having a clean shaven face. Well I think there is this period not long after shaving that looks pretty good. Not necessarily a five-o'clock-shadow, more like a little stubble that enhances a man's masculinity. Hard to explain. Consult a psychologist if you want an expert's opinion.
I head back to Missouri tomorrow for my dad's 60th Birthday Party yaaaay. It should be a good time. During winter break my dad and I got to do some quality bonding time. At the mall. Yes I helped my dad shop. God he has no style, it's just sad. But to be fair, he did grow up when these things were the coolest stuff off the block. Now it's jsut a joke from the 50s. And in the spirit of honesty, I was no where near inclined to pay attention to fashion detail 10 years ago. I still had long hair for Christ's sake. Yikes.

Oh my god it's 2007
Yay Heroes is on right now!

Okay so the premise of the show is that people are realizing that they exhibit supernatural abilities that basically make no sense for the most part. Precognition, levitation, time travel, telekinesis, etc., they all appeal the this mythological need in my psyche. It's not that I really expect anything like this to ever actually happen. Sure, over time it might be possible for humans to heal faster than they do now, and I could even imagine that some day people might have the ability to possess greater strength than they do today. These are most likely going to be much more gradual changes. Unfortunately the way natural selection works nowadays we probably won't ever gain a chance to realize these mutations.
The show is basically a dramaticized X-men series, or a modern day tale of mythology. And somehow it's gained a lot of popularity. Why though? Is it fulfilling the same need of the human imagination that ancient mythology has done for centuries? I don't think it's very profound to say that mythology tells us more about ourselves than about any random writer's imagination. What I think is profound, though, is explaining why we feel a need to believe people might have extraordinary abilities. I mean, it's plain to see that the show makes no sense. I hate the idea of time travel. Phasing a solid body through walls is so dumb. Reading somebody's mind is a joke too. And yet I love this show. I'm so lame.
One thing that bothers me about the show, however, is NBC's need to clarify the sexual orientation of the character Zach (pictured below).
Yeah, he's cute. But was his sexual orientation really that important to disclose? I really appreciated the ambiguity about his sexual orientation. I mean they really could have done whatever they wanted with him. Just the fact that they showed someone being bullied based on perceived sexual orientation was good enough for me. But then they have to fuck it all up by disclosing this information on the side. I'm pissed.
