Local bon vivant fixes summer for men

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi @smallerthings 

 

Let’s talk about the weather. I like it cold. In winter it’s relatively easy and fun to get comfortable and warm if you need to (step 1: remove clothes and get under blankets, step 2: find a partner to do the same, step 3: profit!), but in the summer, cooling down is impossible. The best anyone can do is turn up the AC and take off some clothes and just sort of lay there like a slug hoping it won’t be so muggy at night. That’s no way to live! Jordan Mizell at Talk Nerdy To Me Lover has provided a solution that I’m trying out right now.

 

 

 


Now this befuddles me most of all. For men have always sought after comfort. Boxer shorts easily worn round the house bunch up in any pair of pants if the legs are lifted too high. But had you been wearing a skirt that would have never been a problem. Skirts are not only airy but comfortable too, like wearing nothing at all. Not to mention there has always been something alluring about wearing skirts.


Just the way they flow over the legs leaving just the hint of things below. Girls may just find they are turned on by it as well. While we’re on the subject of getting noticed I doubt anything else would get you noticed faster than being a big ‘ol burly man in a black lace skirt. Comfortable, cool, and practical these are all things men has sought after in clothing sense the dawn of time. Look at the earliest pictures of cave dwellers with their tunics slung haphazardly over their shoulders.


 

 

 

They say the clothes make the man; wearing these things does make me feel free as Harriet Tubman. Bonus: it finally gives me an excuse to wear heels. My only problem is that every skirt I try out makes my ass look big. Why is it so hard to find things in my size?

For you Flo <3

 

 

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi

 

I'm in love with the progressive girl. There, it's out there, it's been said, and there is no going back. With her hair all done up like leave it to beavers mom. You can tell she's that girl next door type. But how to tell her? Unlike that late night crush you get on the girl who works the grave yard shift at the quick stop. She's in the commercials. Just a pixelated screen away. “What's that?” I say. “You want to know my name, why it's Jordan.” I stop her, “oh no you need not tell me yours. I know you who you are. I've seen you on the television.” Your bright shiny name tag all white and perfectly pinned on your tight polo shirt. “Hello Flo.”

 

Maybe, we can go to a movie and see such great hits as Pleasantville or Fido. Good clean family fun I would never want you to think me the type of man who watches racy movies like The Wizard of Oz or the Princess Bride. Only good clean wholesome films for us. How would I explain that ruby red lipstick you wear being on my cheek when I got home. Oh! I'm sure I could come up with something to cease the no doubt endless questions my roommate would have. Insisting that only street walkers wear that shade of red. What does he know. You are a lady of the highest standing. Even if that's as far as it ever went and my dreams of a perfect life. With a car in the drive, insured by progressive of course. One of those new fangled microwave ovens. Isn't science fascinating. Why I could go the rest of my life knowing I had taken a chance and told Flo I had those gushy feelings for her. The perfect nerd for the perfect geek.

 

Oh if only you weren't just a made up character for a commercial series. I know my friends think I'm crazy. BUT, I'M NOT CRAZY! We all do nuts things when we're in love. So when I picked up that phone and heard that female voice on the other end thanking me for calling progressive. I had to take my chance. I let loose a powerful and manly sonnet from my heart validating all my dreams and ending with... I love you Flo! I'd like to think that pause on the other end of the line was her contemplating what a bold gesture it was to say that the first time we spoke. Really, it was just stunned silence as Nancy the operator said, “thank you sir... I think.” I hung up the phone defeated and marched back to the couch. Flipped on the television and marveled at all the pretty colors. When whom should appear, but you Flo with your tricked out name tag. Your smile sent shivers down my spine. I sighed knowing it was never to be. At least I had taken a chance. Nancy the operator never called back!

A Mighty Fine Poetic Saint

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi

 


 

So as most of you know I am an artist. I draw and draw till I feel like my hands are going to fall off. Now thanks to this site some of you know I am also a writer. In fact prior to this I had been working on a book with my brother whom now lives in Kansas City. I have dreams of one day being in a band and my friend Jeff and I are looking into that. Really, I feel a lot like Jen I just want to get out there and try whatever I can. So it may come as no surprise to you that I am also a poet. I have been doing poetry ever since they started a poetry night at my favorite bar. I went with my then x girlfriend because she's a real poet and while listening felt inspired to write something I to could read on stage.

 

 

 

That first poem I wrote was called, “The Clap.” I thought I would share it with you today. So enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that I got a pretty decent reaction. I was amazed that I actually kinda had a knack for this. So I went on writing. I would write out 2 new poems every other week for that was when Auntie Mae's has their Poetry Nights. Much to the befuddlement of my X who promptly proclaimed, “ HEY! You're and artist be an artist. I'm the poet that's my thing.” Don't let her shrewd words disillusion you. She's one of my closest friends and the person I turn to when I need poetic advice.

 

 

 

So I'll share two more video's shot in the basement of our pirate bar.

 

 

 

These two poems are titled - “No Filter” and “Smoking”

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two poems are titled - “To Tall” and “Left for Right”

 

 

 

 

Most of these cuts are rough and unpolished because I write then preform. However, the ones you will see in the future will be recorded at home usually and well rehearsed. Once again these were all from Auntie mae's Mighty Fine Poetry Night at Auntie Mae's. If you're in the midwest and need a great bar to hang out I can recommend none stronger than this one.

Men = Women?

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi

 

Every new day brings us closer to that merging of the lines of female things and Male things. Sure females will always have things that males just don't or shouldn't use. Bras, panties and heels among those. However, I feel there are certain things men can as easily enjoy that they rarely try based on it's perceived social norm. I will be talking about just a few of those thing below. So keep an open mind and dive with me into the societal taboos.

 

First up, drinks at a bar. Yeah these are getting more and more expensive and making it far more ridiculous to actually drink at a bar. So seeing a girl you like and thinking to yourself, “I kinda fancy her, I should buy her a drink.” Thinking things like that are becoming harder to rationalize. Yet we do it to curry favor with the fairer sex. Why just the other night I bought a girl a cup of coffee. Thinking well it's what she wanted to drink maybe she'll realize I'm into her. Where as girls in this occasion won't do the same. You'll be hard pressed to meet a gal that wonders up to a bloke she digs on and says, “Mind if I buy you a drink?” Which is code for, “The night is about to get started.” Nope here is what she will most likely utter, “Care to buy me a drink?” WTF!!! Or translated, “Are you willing to take a chance on me through liqueur.” Now I know it's a social norm but man how crazy cool would it be to have some swinging cool gal saunter up to you with a drink in hand and say, “This is for you!” It would blow our minds. Guys everywhere would fall to their knees and thank the elder gods for such a girl. Can I get an AMEN!

 

Second, Bikes. When I go out to ride my bike I notice a startling difference between a ladies bike and a mans. A long cold evil bar. Placed innocently right below the bike seat. Where as the girls bike has no such bar. No big deal you say. OH, It's a very big deal! That bar is a ball crusher if you have to slam on the breaks. Don't even take into account that for some reason bike seats were engineered to reduce the sperm count. I guess whomever made bikes, wanted less bikers out there. Seems a dumb decision as far as business moves go. So why then when I choose to ride a girls bike to protect my future children do I get mocked at from men in pick-up trucks with shiny brass balls hanging from the hitch. Curiouser and curiouser.

 

Third, Wallets. What hell was this! Brought about as a substitution for a ladies purse a man needs to shove all his most important documents into a folded piece of leather. Then as the space for things is limited sit on it by placing it in his back pocket. Ever sat on an unstable chair? Bugs the hell out of you doesn't it. Yet a wallet with any number of small things inside it, tilts a man's body giving him back problems and all other kinds of weird comfort issues. A purse is an easy and viable option. So thus was brought about the satchel. Now called among homophobic men everywhere the Man purse or Murse. Saying no thank you sir I'd rather sit on all my important documents in so many words. Not to mention at least one condom. A condom that through the constant nudging from the ass has been rendered obsolete and resulting in the often feared pregnancy scares of early sexual activity. Having kept that important object in a MURSE, why it could have saved you... oh however much it costs to raise a child or pay for an abortion/ morning after pill. But no the man purse just doesn't fit with our macho bravado.

 

Fourth, Shaved legs. Oh sure it looks super manly to have hair all over your legs and women often complain about how we don't have to shave our legs. But hassle aside if you ever took the time to try and shave your legs. It is one of the most insanely amazing feelings you could experience. Jumping into bed afterward and just moving your legs back and forth under the sheets. I tell you men it will change your view on life. While I'm on that subject, guys ya gotta manscape. Keep that stuff trimmed downstairs its only polite. So while you are manscaping why not give the old shaved legs a try. Just once I promise it will be an experience worth indulging in.

 

Lastly, Skirts. Now this befuddles me most of all. For men have always sought after comfort. Boxer shorts easily worn round the house bunch up in any pair of pants if the legs are lifted too high. But had you been wearing a skirt that would have never been a problem. Skirts are not only airy but comfortable too, like wearing nothing at all. Not to mention there has always been something alluring about wearing skirts.

 

Just the way they flow over the legs leaving just the hint of things below. Girls may just find they are turned on by it as well. While we're on the subject of getting noticed I doubt anything else would get you noticed faster than being a big 'ol burly man in a black lace skirt. Comfortable, cool, and practical these are all things men has sought after in clothing sense the dawn of time. Look at the earliest pictures of cave dwellers with their tunics slung haphazardly over their shoulders. The ancient Grecian who brought us society as we know it now; wore blankets draped over them. Further more I need not even mention the Scottish. Not much of a stretch to jump to an ankle length skirt now is it.

 

So there you have it. all you manly nerds out there. Just a few thoughts I had that may blend the lines a bit; but ultimately why not. Look into any average high school. The guys look like girls and the girls look like well girls. These are the waves of change that are about to crash over the land. Take a cue from that emo kid with half a bottle of gel in his hair. Make your change now before you are left to the way of the dodo.

Hairy Shower Walls O.o

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @SaintPepsi

 

 

 

Girl Mystery 1 (Solved) Hair stuck to the shower walls.

 

 

 

 

 

Many a man who has used the shower after his girlfriend with lengthy hair will report the same thing. Hair stuck all over the walls. Surely, they aren't this messy. I mean after living with my fair share of girls I know that to be SO not true. They are ridiculously messy. However, the bathroom is a girls zen fortress. Each random tool for beautification and aromatherapy aligned in their perfect places. Foaming hand soap from Bath and body works, several perfumes for specific occasions, a Venus razor for the guys that deserve shaved legs, and nair for the nights you just don't want to deal with it. Towels neatly folded and ready; hung perfectly over the floor vent for those cold winter nights so the heat will keep them nice and warm. This is their fortress, their shrine of power. Truly, this is where every girl transforms into a woman the likes the world can not handle and will ultimately buy a drink for.

 

 

 

So why is it then when you get into the shower; there are long hairs all over the walls. The shampoo in its spot next to the conditioner... Right. Ok, the Scented soap for their luffa, extra razor for touch-ups from the tub. All in their proper place. Everything else looks like it's been bleach cleaned and sanitized. Yet here all around you are weird shapes and designs of hair all along the walls. Long strands intermingling with short. Sorta grossed out by it you pull your finger down the middle of the wall and then spray it with the shower head and take your shower. You never really question why there are hairs all over the walls.

 

 

 

I am here to answer that question. Sense the dawn of showers girls have implemented their own form of very specific art. One I myself have fallen prey to having very long hair too. It is the art of the fallen hair. Who says that hair is useless and annoying once it displaces itself from your head. Sure it may slide down the crack of your ass, but really in the shower it is as mailable as a brush. Pulled from a freshly washed scalp and thrown haphazardly against the shower wall. What wild shapes will you form, what images can be drawn forth from the random twists and turns of the once growing lengths. You may see a desert horizon, a steely man on the frontier, the great elder god Cthulhu. Who knows? It is always random and always as fun as finger painting. Sliding your hands over the walls and making new sweeping images from the ones before. This is your mosaic, this is your palette. The world may never know, but we of the long hair will always have a creative outlet in the shower.

 

 

 

So to all the guys and girls with long hair and their short haired significant others. Don't be too disgusted by that hair stuck to the walls. By spraying it down the drain you may just be removing the only proof that some of us really do have a secret creative side. So from an artist with long hair to all you secret shower wall painters. Keep on drawing you may never know when you will see something that will inspire you in the twists and turns of discarded hairs.
