I am trying to figure out if it's just my age making me more intolerant of stupidity or if I am simply more observant now that I have moved beyond my teenage angst. All I know is that there seems to be more rampant idiocy now than before.
A prime example: piercings. Whafuck? Maybe I'm simply out of style, but since when did putting surgical steel through every available patch of skin on one's face become attractive? I have seen some very sexy young women with a delicate diamond or jewel through their noses, or a single small hoop in the eyebrow. I have seen some truly yummy men with pierced ears, nipples, tongues, and so on. However, when a girl/woman/lady or boy/man/gentleman has enough metal sticking out of her/his body to resemble a porcupine with a butch, there is a problem. I am all for individuality and decorating one's body as a form of expression. I have tattoos and often considered piercing assorted parts of my body...once. I even used Jello and Kool-Aid to dye my hair green once...before this color was obtainable at a salon, of course. I just don't see how puncturing your body multiple times and shoving steel rods or hoops through the holes until you are carrying enough metal on your person at any one time to armor a Hummer is sexy. Wake up! A few piercings can be nice additions, very expressive, and perfectly sensous. Too many makes you look like a fool and the only reason people are looking at you is the same reason they look at a terrible car wreck...it's so disgusting, you're compelled to look--it's uncontrollable.
