Have you met Spezzano and Sandy?

Today, they are my 97% enemy, 3% wife.

In case you weren’t aware I’m a HUGE fan of LOST. Last night was the two hour season finale. Last season’s finale was some of the best television I can ever remember watching, so I had high expectations for last night.

There was just one problem…I ran in Corporate Challenge last night at R.I.T. (27:59, thank you very much) so I didn’t get home until after 10:00, hence missing the first hour of the season finale.

No worries though, it’s 2008 and through the power of technology I will watch it on my schedule. The plan is to download the episode through my Xbox and enjoy some LOST goodness in Glorious High Definition and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. (I know, I’m a geek.)

So, as I’m getting ready for work this morning I’ve got S+S on like I always do, and what do I hear? SPOILERS!!! They start rattling off all of the stuff that went down on last nights episode. NOOOOO!!!!

I’ve never wanted to fire anybody, but this morning I wanted to fire all of them.

HOW FRIGGIN’ RUDE!!!!

If you saw it, by all means avoid me today. No more spoilers. I mean it. This is NOT a joke.

No, I’m not talking about my sex life.

Yesterday I was toying with the idea of growing out my scruff considering there are new traces of grey.  You know, if it works for Clooney, why not me, right?  So how did I go from this yesterday…

To THIS today…

Pretty simple, actually.  Here’s how the convo went down:

Gutless (ME):  *to Sandy* “So, I’m thinking about growing out my scruff, you know, Clooney.

Sandy:  I don’t like scruff.

Gutless:  Yeah, but…Clooney…

Sandy: I only like scruff when I use your face to scratch an itch.

So I shaved this morning.  My attempt at growing some facial hair halted by my wife’s disdain for it.  If you’re wondering where my cojones are, check Sandy’s purse.

Exhibit A: Robert Downey Jr.

Exhibit B: Rob Lowe

Exhibit C: Clooney

What do these 3 men have in common? Check the facial hair. I haven’t shaved since before last weekend and I have started to notice a few *gulp* greys…

I am NOT ashamed of them though. I WILL NOT be taking measures to hide them. I’ve always believed age is a mere number and no matter how old I may be, I’ll always have youthful energy and maturity. So my dilemma…shave or grow it out? Hot or not, ladies…

But THIS GUY is proof that they CAN dance.  It’s from “So You Think You Can Dance”.  I only wish I could mute the middle judge.  She may have the most annoying laugh known to man.

To anyone who serves or has served to protect the freedoms we have, thank you.
