Consider the Alternative
Human beings are irrational. I believe I’ve touched on this point once or twice before. Good thing for me, there’s enough material on this topic to write an entirely separate blog which could be actively updated for as long as the pro-life/pro-choice debate has been ongoing (which is scheduled to conclude on 2012 when everyone, minus John Cusack, will be dead. Whatever his personal belief is will be the answer.)
The particular example of irrationality that I’m referring to has to do with decision making. More specifically, the lack of analysis prior to making a decision.

I predict this might be the worst one yet. I believe this because yesterday, in San Diego, the afternoon’s high was 67 degrees. If that same scenario occurred last year, I would have had no choice but to sun bath in my speedo, likely for all hours while there was still visible daylight.
This year? As ashamed as I am to admit, I had the nerve to complain about the “frigid air” to more more than one person. I could actually feel the 2008 Zach Davis punch the 2009 Zach Davis right in the gut. Thankfully 2008 ZD hits like a girl.
Movember
I’ve got a friend who’s a giant fan of mustaches. Why? Because he’s a guy.
He’s also a fan of being a good person (this is where the similarities between the two of us end).
This year he’s joining a cause to combine these two passions. If you’re interested in growing a mustache or trying to kick prostate cancer’s ass then please visit the below link.
