Clothes make the man. The way we dress affects the way we feel about ourselves, and thus the way we conduct ourselves. People dressed like shapeless sacks feel like shapeless sacks, and so behave like shapeless sacks. People dressed neatly and attractively feel more orderly and harmonious inside, and as a result their external behavior becomes more orderly and harmonious. How much of the chaotic personal behavior and hideous cultural disorder of today’s society is a function of the chaotic and hideous way people dress?

I’ve recently noticed how, in this hot summer weather, in which most men are wearing either T-shirts or some other type of short-sleeved shirt, about 98 percent of men wear their shirts untucked, outside their shorts or pants. This shlumpy, shapeless look eliminates any appearance of masculine dignity, let alone masculine authority. It conveys the message, “I don’t stand for anything. I don’t believe in anything. I’m just a free, unstructured self.” I thought of that when looking at the still shot I posted in a previous entry of 71-year-old Samuel Williams shooting at the armed robbers in the Palm Internet Cafe in Ocala, Florida. Williams is dressed casually, in shorts, sneakers, and a short-sleeve shirt. But his shirt, unlike that of the man in the foreground holding his hands up in the air, is tucked in. He looks neat, ready for action. As, indeed, he so manifestly was.
I couldn't believe how good this HDMI cable is. The first time I plugged it to my HDTV, Angelina Jolie just popped out from the screen and served me breakfast on bed. If you think that doesn't worth the price of the cable, I don't know what it is.
though they want me to call them if my wisdom teeth are bothering me
my sister and I are the only two people I know of whose wisdom teeth came in perfectly
Mine did... and then I started taking a bunch of pain killers for my jaw issue and my mouth chemistry went way out of whack, so they started to decay like no-one's business. Now I have to have all of them extracted.
So I didn't actually buy this for myself, my wife got the cable for me as part of a birthday present. Frankly, you couldn't have convinced me to buy a $500+ HDMI cable with a gun to my head before I tried this cable.
That has all changed now.
Frankly I do see a serious improvement in both audio and video quality, but what really impressed me was AudioQuest's unflagging commitment to quality in absolutely every aspect, even down to the packaging.
I do not see it mentioned in the reviews or on the manufacturer's information, but this cable comes with a free t-shirt. Normally a free t-shirt is about as exciting as a cup of decaf coffee, but AudioQuest must have similarly high standards for their garments, because the shirt was woven of a fabric so fine and so subtle that only the truest and wealthiest audiophiles can even see it. I wear it proudly now whenever I go out, amazed at the number of philistines that aren't even able to see the faintest trace of it. On your body, the shirt is practically undetectable because the fabric is so light, but if you're a TRUE audiophile, you know in your heart that it's there.
Since receiving this as a gift, I've purchased three more, and each is more impressive than the last. My local dealer even gave me a free box of twelve AudioQuest t-shirts to show his appreciation.
Apparently a slipped disc in my temporomandibular joint—that is, that joint that allows your jaw to go into all sorts of directions. The slippage, however it was caused, sent me into excruciating pain for several months and ultimately dislocated my jaw so that it no longer closes properly. Strictly speaking, my mouth closes, and my voice hasn't changed at all, but my front teeth don't meet and my jaw is ever so subtly lopsided. It also pops when I move it certain ways and sometimes my ears ache weirdly. Kind of freaky, all things considered.
