Concerns
I noticed a spider on my wall earlier today...right above where I lay my head to sleep to be precise. So, as spiders are prone to plummet for no reason, I went to get toilet paper to end his little life. Except when I tried to squish him, he moved too quickly and, taking his chances, leapt from the wall. His fall carried him all the way to the floor, in between my bed and the wall, and so I couldn't finish him off.
Mutha fucka's probably gonna shank me while I sleep now.
That's concern numero uno. Number 2 is that for some reason, my cheeks are red. Not horribly so, but for the longest time, I've had problems with dry, reddish cheeks, and nothing I do seems to completely remedy it. I've gotten mostly under control now, and maybe I just sunburned them a tad and I'll have to deal with it for awhile longer, but if anyone has any grooming tips on how to get rid of red skin, I'd be most obliged. And actually, I guess I'd prefer specific product info, or specific tips; I've tried different soaps, conditioners, moisturizers, etc., so if you've found something that works, give me a holla.
I could go on with other concerns--some petty, some serious--but that's enough for now.

Did you know in the jungle's of South America spiders can have a leg span of 6 foot! I hope that spider that got away from you was one of them...won't that be exciting in a couple of months!
As for the cheecks...grow a bread to hide the red cheecks.
P.S. once you grow that bread, buy a trimmer. Trimming is much easier than shaving as you can do it once a week or less.
At least the Czechs are going home too. But they didn't get fucked over by the refs twice, though.
Dusty,
The spider was a little squirt, and the beard doesn't start that high.
Logic,
Your comment could [sadly] mislead people into thinking that I care(d) about the World Cup.
However, I think it'd be cool to perhaps see a game in Europe...those female soccer fans are HOT.
They might find your red cheeks hard to resist...
Stupid Americans with no respect for the beautiful game.
I never said I didn't respect it, I just don't get any joy from watching it.
Like golf.
Now the day they start broadcasting fencing tournaments (a truely beautiful sport) will be the day I leap for joy.
And somehow I get the feeling that females across the globe don't find red cheeks an aphrodisiac (and I have MANY other characterstics that they'll easily resist)
Why would we want to watch men in tights jumping around each other futilely waving around pointy sticks? There is no beauty in the aristocratic, medieval war reinactments that you call fencing.
How can you claim to respect something you ignore?
Adam-
Try hydrocortisone cream 2x a week for about a month. Also, try Cetaphil Lotion. When my excema flares up, those are what I use to rid myself of bright red skin. Don't use the Hydrocortisone cream more than 2x a week though, your skin can become 'addicted' to it, and if you stop using it, you can get your redness back more than it was previously...
Logic-
Accept that not all enjoy the wonderful sport of 'soccer'. People will always be entitled to watch what they wish.
Dusty-
I hate spiders, and telling me about one with a 6 FOOT leg span makes me sick.
Jaime-
I think you are right! Europeans are a strange bunch.
Nicki,
Thanks! I'll have to try that.
Logic,
Several comments for you:
1. I can respect the sport in that as I've played soccer, I respect the athleticism of the players, and it's a fun sport to play. However, like golf (in which I also respect the players), I find it boring to watch and don't care about tournaments; Masters? World CUp? They both equal "things Adam doesn't care about."
2. Your earlier comments on fencing betray a [forgivable because I'm kind] lack of knowledge about the modern sport of fencing. Starting off small and getting bigger:
--we could watch men OR women
--I personally find fencing outfits sexy. And technically, they're not tights (they may look like it), but (fencing) jackets and pants. Besides, lames (I can't put the accent aigu above the "e") are stylish.
--They're "waving" swords, and if you've ever actually seen a fencing bout (between reasonably skilled fencers) you'd see that it's not waving.
--"Medievalistic" is so off base; "Early Modern" or "Renaissance" would've been more appropriate. Regardless, modern or Olympic fencing is nothing like what was done 3 centuries ago. Heck, fencing has been evolving that the sport doesn't look like it did 50 years ago.
--there's plenty of beauty in fencing, even if you don't realize it. MOre so than watching a bunch of guys run after and kick a ball...
In answer to "why," the answer is simply because it's fun and cool to watch fencing.
