Man. What a weird year already.
It was a nice day out, so
we decided to drive up to Mission Viejo for a little shopping at the
Nike Women store, because she had a gift card for the place. So, before jumping in the shower, I decided to shave my head. Unfortunately, I slipped a bit while shaving, and proceeded to take a
huge slice of skin off the side. Like, a half-dollar size. Ouch. It bled so much, we had to use one of them industrial strength healin'-promotin' bandages.
Then, it was time to go shopping. The thing is, I wasn't sure where this place was. So I used the store locator on the site, and it showed me where the store was, along with giving me some driving directions.
But. The directions? They sucked.
I mean, look at the
directions here (ignore the part before the I-805). Once we turned on Oso Parkway, there was about 6 little turns coming all within a mile of each other. I thought that was a bit weird, but continued on anyways. So, we get up there, and we're smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Shoot, the entire area was residential. That locator gave us directions to someone's house, I guess. We ended up calling the place and getting directions, but still... I've never had such bad directions to a place. Take note: call the store first next time.
Later, we were in the mall, and of course, she's gotta check out the Sephora. So she's in there looking at stuff, and I go in, just so I don't feel like a loiterer outside. And then I saw something that I believe is one of the signs of the apocalypse:

Hummer Cologne
Uhm. Yeah. OK.
But hey. It's 2005. Maybe I should give that scent a chance. What do you think... will the chicks flock to me and my Hummer smell?
Yeah, I didn't think so, either.

Next entry: hey girl, I like yo flava
Previous entry: well. there it is.
Dude! I had a sign of the apocalypse today, too. It must be 2005. My father asked me where the word 'blog' came from. Not what it was, because apparantly he already READS BLOGS, but the etymology of it.
I looked like a deer in headlights.

Did you smell it, did you smell it? Although I would associate the smell of sperm and spit with that name...sorry about the chunk

Oh no! Just don't go to Wal-Mart with that big patch on your head or you might get asked if you were hit by a falling price. It happened to me.

i went and looked it up online, and i couldn't believe the description given to it by sephora:
"A vehicle so extreme in its power, so incomparable in its appearance, that it defies any attempt to place it in a traditional category. Simply stated, HUMMER(tm) gives new meaning to the word invincible.
In keeping with its famous heritage, HUMMER(tm)Fragrance For Men is masculine with rugged and adventurous attributes. This classic yet bold new fragrance for men embodies all that HUMMER(tm)is."

GAH!! I totally just cringed and skeeved when I read about your head. I hope it's ok. *skeeves* There's nothing worse than taking a chunk out of your skin with a razor.

It's got to smell better than the Donald Trump cologne. What a weird idea
that is.
I hope your noggin is healing nicely.
Also, dude, you switched to Expression Engine! EE kicks MTs ass. Mexican wrestling style!

I've always wandered what a hummer would smell like; I'm usually not concentrating on smelling anything when I'm getting one.

Hey Freak! LOL Too funny.
Um. . .well, apparently no one in the Hummer Marketing Department knows or CARES about the ill-advised "scent of a hummer." OY. I ahve to agree, though; it's a sign of the apocolypse.
But that's not why I came -- (pardon the expression) I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year! I hope your head heals and you STOP DOING THAT! Eee.

Ok, I've actually *been* in a real Hum-V (before they became public rage) and they don't smell good at all. I have horrific visions of massive amounts of men at dance clubs wearing this cologne. It'll smell like an auto wrecking yard.

You think the other colognes will bitch about how the bottle takes up two spots on the shelf?
