Hey folks....i respect everybody's opinion about my dress choice, but please don't attack me for it. We all have different circumstances. I'm not into arguing about what pants i wear, but i don't think it's causing drastic attitudes against everybody in chairs. I live in a very beachy part of Fla, none of my friends dress particular well. And nobody at my work dresses that great either. I'm also high c5 level SCI, so dressing myself is not possible. My 70 yr old mother helps me, the leggings are much easier at 6:30 am when i'm getting up. I thought you guys would be a little more understanding of these things. As for the shirts i wear, i wear nice ones for work, but i always have to roll the sleeves up, as i need my left elbow exposed so i can push it against the window as i hang left turns to drive. Complicated, huh? Well, i didn't choose this bullshit, i just had a car wreck 26 yrs ago, and i've had to get real creative about daily living. I got through college driving an hour each way, and took my own notes in class, which was damn near impossible as my wrist extensors aren't strong. I've played music for years in very public places, and been on my job for 13 yrs. All in leggings...i don't think any AB person ever held it against me, and fuck the ones who did. I think it's damn hard to survive as a c5c6 complete, and i may do things kinda "different", but i'm just surviving in my own way. I heard nearly the same arguement from a few people when i got a few tatts years ago, wore hair down my back and earrings. "What will people think of you?" Well, to me, the beauty in people are the differences, and in a weird way, they makes us the same...we're all fighting for acceptance, love, self-expression and a good life. We all find our own distinct ways about getting it...i'm not a slacks n penny loafers kinda dude! Anyway, i don't want anymore of the personal putdowns, please!! I believe strongly in tolerance and acceptance.  |

Tony, the last thing I'd want to do is offend you... that's why my initial question was about the reason you wore them. If you felt attacked, I apologize. Like I said, you're right. If we were all the same, it'd be a boring world.

Nobody was really personally putting you down, we were stating our own personal tastes...I don't really know you that well Tony, but I've seen a lot of you, lol, and I must say over the one month that I've been a member of this board, it's hard to imagine you looking any other way man....many people stated, you've gotta' do what you need/want above all else, and we weren't bashin' ya' for ya' dress. In fact, (as a totally heterosexual male) I believe you look good with that setup. So, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm going to abstain from the kissing part (maybe in...France, but in this day and age...)...making up is fine as long as it doesn't turn into making out.

Hopefully there's some college football fans out there. This is me and few buddies watching U. Fla Gators win their way into the championship game with Ohio State. This is a little bar on the beach, and it was ROCKIN Saturday night. GO GATORS!!   |

Heyyyyy Michigan was RIGHT THERE.....couldn't fit a pubic hair between Gators and Mich, so you guys are strong team, too. There's a story last week in Tampa where a REAL Gator grabbed some naked, crack-smoking idiot down by the lake at 4am, and chewed his ass up. So, i'm hoping it's a sign from the Gods that the crack-hittin-nudist is Ohio State.

This is just the Irish in me, but: "Go Australia!"
They don't really televise (at least where I am) Cricket here...it's something I'd like to see.
As for American Football...the ideal situation would've been BC, but I guess that just makes Flutie's miracle win even more legendary...Michigan was Brady's college so I root for them, as well as a few others...I'm always torn with the USC-Notre Dame games, as well as Army-Navy...one team always dominates in the matchup, so it isn't much of a close one anymore though.

I am the kind of person who "dresses as she feels" and that could mean jeans and a t-shirt, a cute little dress, or sweats. I have a bit of everything. The most recent pair of pants I bought were leggings with skulls/crossbones all over them and I think they're hot. I get compliments on them because they're differant. Leggings are making a come back (at least for a while). Let's just all be comfortable. oh, and windrider, if you look like James Bond, I may have to take out my extra pair of panties.  |
