Gone Quiet
July 18, 2005
Right, so sometimes I forget that part of having a web site is doing something with it. After Sinman’s artistic foray last week, I wasn’t sure how to top it. I’ve sat down to write a few times, but nothing ever came. So, no need to force it.
Something pretty funny happened Saturday night. Whilst rummaging through my closet, trying to hang things up (for once) and pack away the things I never wear, I came across an awesome pink stripe oxford shirt that I’ve never really been able to wear because it’s never fit. I decided I’d prematurely test my new eating habits of late by trying it on and, to my utter amazement, it fit. Man, that was an awesome feeling. I’m not yet at the point that I can look in the mirror and see any difference, but when you can wear new clothes that’s always going to make you feel good.
Anyway, so I head out to the Pub, and as I’m waiting to cross Greene St., these two redneck-looking guys pass me, and the far-scruffier of the two very scruffy guys mutters “fuckin’ faggot.” I turned around, thinking I must have misheard him, and he obliged by repeating himself: “look at that fuckin’ faggot.” The other guy just laughed. So did I. I wasn’t about to get into a fight with these two dudes—they’d obviously kick my ass and probably try to tie me to a fence or something—but I wore my “fuckin’ faggot” moniker like a badge for the rest of the night. If two dumbass drunk rednecks think I’m stylish enough to be gay, then I must have looked pretty damn good.
Good attitude. I get this sort of thing all the time—people thinking I’m gay based on my style. It’s annoying at time, but like you said—it must mean you’re lookin’ good! :)
yeah I have a pink short sleeved shirt from urban outfitters that I love. Some guys hate it and think im gay, but most girls like it. I was dancing with a hot “girl” friend of mine and I heard some redneck guy say to his friend “I guess you have to wear pink to get girls…” pretty funny…
Enh. There’s no real mystery here; the vagaries of an overcompensative sexual confliction being the only thing that’d provoke such an ignorant, asinine outburst.
That being said, not much you can say about Mark “Cutback” Davis or Bob “Jungle Death” Girard, except of course, “Those guys are FAGS!” ;)
My God, I have no idea what you’re talking about. But I agree completely!
I thought the headline would include louis Vuitton. I am completely disappointed.
Gotta keep up with your Ridgemont High / Spicoli quotes, Matt.
You never know. In some bar in Nepal, in some bet with your sherpa, your life could depend on it.
Ooh, I am hopping mad and my 5-month pregnant self is coming up there immediately to kick their asses. Nobody talks to my Matt that way, I don’t care how good he looks.
Oh Liz, you’re going to blow my tough-guy image!
But I know you got my back. If I see those redneck guys again, I’m going to let them know there’s an angry pregnant lady in Alabama, and she’s got their number.
I am glad to see you are making friends Matt. I am also glad those guys are keepin it real, you know what i am sayin? We can’t have fags goin around wearing thier fruity little shirts without being yelled at now can we…...Fag.
At least you did not beat there ass, like the last guy that talked to you on the street. You big bully.. ha ha
