Keep my head straight and move along…

Filed Under Babbling, The history of me 

Music drives my life so much more than I could ever describe. Honestly. Put on a strong album and I’m good to go. This morning, I’ve got some Kill the Alarm blasting out on my iTunes. After that? I think I’m going to spin the samples from Seven Mary Three’s dayandnightdriving. A good rocking morning.

So today, I’ve got nothing, really. For me, my first class technically will be “ready” online around 4pm tomorrow after the lecture video is uploaded, so I might just head to campus early before my 6pm class. I did write down all of my classes with the course sections so I can head to campus in an hour and grab the books, like I said yesterday. That’ll be good.

And of course, just as I’m going to get up and get something, Wooster sits down in my lap. It’s alright, what I was going to get were the next thing I was going to talk about, but yeah, seeing I can just google the Lush website and link them anyways, I can do it that way. Damn cat. Ah, who am I kidding, he’s a cute shit.

So Lush. Where do I begin with my love affair for your organic body product goodness of doom? For those folks who haven’t ever used Lush products, srsly, you need to find one near you. I’m not some metro male who’s so gung-ho about complete body care because I’ll go a few days without showering sometimes, or even go a week plus without shaving. But hey, I like the rugged stubble look. Sarah doesn’t. Ah well, sacrifices? Not the way she’d see or say it! Hah!

But Lush’s products are great. All natural, and it leaves you feeling un-irritated when you get out of the shower. My personal favorite is the Sandstone soap. Well, that and the Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo. The soap is great with how it works like a body scrub and a soap in one, and the scent really helps me wake up in the morning, and with the shampoo, it helps me smooth out my curls and frizz a bit. Well, the frizz, not the curls.

The curls and frizz I’ve always wanted straightened. Back in high school when I worked for Walgreens, I must have seriously tried every single straightening product that I could find. Seriously. No matter what I did, my hair was still frizzy and full of body. Even when I got a chemical straightening before prom. Yeah, I did that. I should pull up the pictures from that night if I could find them at home. Best thing ever was my best friend, Dave Hall, who was a huge fan of Garth Brooks and all country music. His dad told him, and I quote, “There’s no way in hell you’re going to prom with your cowboy hat and boots!” So a week or so before that? He brought them to my house with the strict instructions that they be waiting for him in the limo. I’ve got pictures of him pulling a Garth, hanging out the window of the limo, waving to cars in New Port Richey. Ah, memories…

Oh yeah, so hair. Well, best solution for my frizz is a little spray bottle I keep by my sink of Infusium 23. From the shower and using conditioner and such, I attack this little pump sprayer like Oliver Twist attacking a second bowl of gruel. That’s what gives me my signature Jew-fro look.

Uh… I’ve got nothing else…
