Hazel Eyes and Pleated Shorts

So I'm rocking out to Lady by Styx and I realize that I am not very fucking cool at all. I have realized this before of course, starting last year, when I began watching American fucking Idol. That was kind of the beginning of the end for me. What the hell is going on here? I am getting old, that's what is happening. I thought that if I still watched cartoons and read comic books (both not cool either) that I would keep the spark of youth in my brain. But what I did not realize is that thinking like an older, more mature person creeps up on you subtly. It may start with one day that you think it looks better to tuck in your shirt (happened to me last year) and that maybe your jeans should not be 8 times too big for you (also last year). A lot of the time, I find myself wearing my "dress" shoes out instead of my sweet Gazelles (which really aren't cool anymore anyway). Last week for instance, I went to a friend's house and I was wearing my black dress socks with jeans & tennis shoes. I think that may be due to laundry laziness instead of getting older though, but who knows?

Back to the point: Probably the most telling sign of my unfortunate maturity is that I (can't believe I'm admitting this) absolutely fucking love Kelly Clarkson songs. I mean, it is ridiculous how much I love this shit which only two years ago I scoffed at. On my Yahoo LAUNCHcast radio station, here are the bands I have rated Can't Get Enough and are featured on the SDUDE818 radio homepage: Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, My Chemical Romance, Kelly Clarkson, and KoRn. Like the Sesame Street song, "which one of these is not like the other?" Yeah, definitely not cool. You can look at the shit I write and say, "that idiot is not mature." True, I know a lot of 40 & 50 year old dudes that still love cock jokes, fart noises, and talking shit about fucking your relatives. However, they do this while wearing a golf shirt tucked into short as hell pleated blue or khaki shorts, while wearing leather sandals. This is the part I fear I fear most. Please do me this favor, if you ever see me wearing short ass pleated shorts, please kick my fucking ass.
