Life Goals
Yes, yes, I know I haven’t posted a real entry in umpteen billion seconds. Or more precisely, just about 11,000,000 seconds (that’s orders of magnitude more precise, even though it’s still very round.) I haven’t been talking the time out of life to write, as was the intention of this site. It’s one goal of mine that I’m failing at, and I think I just found another that will suffer the same fate.
Not long ago, I made a list of life goals on my online notebook. One of those goals I’ve had for a long time now, it’s one of those goals that can only be accomplished in death. My goal is to only shave half the days of my life.
But now, Esquire makes a compelling argument for Shaving Every Day.
Of my life goals, this seemed to be the most achievable. It’s the only one I had a real plan for. I figure I have 15 years of built up time on the front end, and I’m not wasting shaving days on weekends. Then, once I’m rich and have a fancy car collection, I wanted to grow a beard like Billy Gibbons. That will hopefully build up another 15 or 20 years on the back end. But now I’m thinking of abandoning this goal because of Esquire.
Thankfully, I have a week and a half to think about this before I’m faced with making a decision. This weekend I’m headed out to Joshua Tree, where it is perfectly acceptable to go unshaven and “look tired and sloppy,” as Esquire describes it.
