yes, it's true. i've been a 27 year-old boy/man/adult for 4 full days and i am already having a crisis. case in point, i've started throwing out all of my clothes. literally. i have 3 (small) bags filled with clothes. why? i know people throw out or donate their clothes all the time. but i love clothes. i love my clothes. but, now that i am 27, i want to start acting more like an adult. i say that all the time. but, i think once i start on my outward appearance, i will then start acting like a real adult.
essentially, i've been wanting to start having work outfits. mary can attest that i have a very lax wardrobe at the office, and while i love that, and relish in the days that i can wear a hoodie to the office, i also know that i need to start being more mature. so, i thought: why not have work outfits! novel idea, dear brian. i actually think that will be more beneficial to me as well, and i have even started looking at things not as "awwww, cute. must. have. now." but rather "well, can i wear this to work and does it fit into my professional wardrobe." maturity!
the feeling on that above paragraph is i have a lot of clothes. a lot of great clothes. i can talk about clothes for days. i love fashion. i find it so interesting. and sometimes, i don't have enough of it. but, digressing, i want to start minimizing my weekend clothes and focusing on my adult week clothes. besides, let's face it - when i am doing anything on the weekends, i'm in comfy lounge clothes until it's time to go out. and then, when i do go out, i'm in a v-neck and jeans or shorts. but i guess, i'm so scared to try being more adult because ... well, i don't know why. i don't mind dressing professional. but it has to be the RIGHT type of professional. it's a trying on, and tailoring situation.
i'm also worried i am falling behind in a lot of work things. everything seems to be coming at all directions, and while i love it and love learning, i can't help but wonder if i am not being allowed to learn more. what i mean, is i don't want to feel like just hands to the people i work with. i want to participate in more, and it's frustrating when you are not needed, but needed at the same time. it's just a literal cluster fuck. but, i still love what i do, and am excited for all the new things, regardless of my personal issues with things. that's not hindering me in the long run. it's just a mild hurdle. (mildly vague paragraph)
on a side note, nicki minaj's "super bass" is highly addictive. and i mean that. i've listened to it on repeat for a while. followed by jack's mannequin. so i mean, my musical taste is highly varied.
hurricane irene also came to party for my birthday. she was fun, and provided a great backdrop to a great birthday weekend. i'm glad she decided to calm down a little, and not steal all my thunder.
i'm also really sick, and can't seem to get better. i even had a nose bleed today at work and not just one, but both nostrils decided to erupt blood out of my nose. TMI? it was mildly traumatic. and because i am sick, i haven't been able to go to the gym and that's just getting ridiculous. must go soon.
i don't have anything to add to my crisis. but crap, i'm in my late twenties. let's remember though: botox is no longer a joke, but a possibility.

let's run away
i'm coming back to the blogging world! how excited are you? probably more excited than you think you are. sometimes, it must be hard to contain yourself when you read my writing because it's just like angels typing.
i took a lovely vacation to cape cod with my friend leigh, and it's a lifestyle i could really get behind. basically, we were living a ralph lauren ad. cape cod house, golden retriever, reading on the patio - i almost didn't want to leave. it's also a really dynamic place to be/visit because of all the people and architecture.
i'm getting really bad ADD right now and am thinking about sleep and not writing coherently. so, forgive me.
ohhhhh, i'll do a quick movie review. the other day, in cape cod actually, i saw 'the help' based on the novel. now, the book as you are probably aware took the book club world by storm. told from three different perspectives with three different dialects going on. it's an engrossing novel to be honest, and a quick read. i think what i loved so much about the book - the complexity of some of the characters and the south in general - was lost in the movie. yes, the performances are excellent (i have a major crush on emma stone, and viola davis. i want to hug them.) and bryce dallas howard makes you hate her. but the movie i felt simplified a lot of things and made it more mainstream. well aware the book was a mainstream book, but i am saying they wanted to create a film that everyone would go see. so, conclusion: recommend.
continuing on a movie review, i saw "crazy, stupid, love" and that was good as well. little long, i could have used more ryan gosling shirtless, and i could have used a lot more marisa tomei. i love marisa tomei - she is JUST AMAZING. personally, while i loved her in dramatic roles like 'in the bedroom' she is just amazing as a comedic actress and undervalued/unrealized as to how funny she can be. i mean, she won an oscar for 'my cousin vinny' - it's very rare for a comedic role to win an oscar.
also, went to brunch the other day with loan, who went to college with me - she was in town on a little vacation. so, we had TWO celeb sightings. one was adrian grenier, from 'entourage' and alicia witt from 'friday night lights.' we were eating at the LPQ literally two doors down from our apartment. when both celebrities saw each other, they greeted each other and it was just surreal to see that. like, celebrities know other celebrities! i forget they have a small social circle. i also felt bad for adrian because some guy came up and asked for an autograph and you could tell he was annoyed.
also, congrats to my close friend kate for getting engaged!
til next time,
bri
