I’ve been piecing it together for a few years now. Some parts are historically accurate and some are fantasy elements. I live in a town with a lot of pirate history and a pirate festival every year.
Haha, I was coming to comment my medieval faire gear. I've participated as a reenactor (of sorts) at a local event for a few years and always have a blast and feel like I own the damn place with my friends.
Facts. I fluctuate a lot, I'm unable to play sports or workout much because of a knee injury (surgery coming soon) and I've lost about 15lbs of muscle then gained back about ten of fat just in the last six months or so. It's most noticeable in my thighs, they just look so sad now. I cannot fucking wait to get going on rehab and get back in shape.
My experience for a month after my appendix removal surgery. It really feels so sorry of a situation to see yourself unable to do things you'd do normally from getting your nostrils blocked to getting injured or having a surgery.
Yeah I've got three weeks of basically no standing right after. My plan is to alternate through sessions of napping in the sun, reading, basic stretching, mobility expansion and eating. Eat good, study hard, train well and sleep plenty. That is the turtle warrior way.
UnderArmor spandex. I’d wear them for sporting events under my uniform in high school & college, and apparently unconsciously trained my brain that putting them on means its Go-Time.
So whenever I put my underArmor on, my adrenaline spikes, my fight-or-flight gets switched on to fight, I beat my chest like Donkey Kong, and my monkey-brain goes “Ooo-oo-ahh-ahh!”
In the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom everyone wore these and quickly found out it wasn’t the best choice when hit by an IED and came close to anything remotely hot. Wasn’t the best scenario
I really do feel more confident knowing that my watch will continue to tell me the accurate time up to 200 meters underwater. Yes, I know I will have perished in agony long before I get to that depth, that’s okay, doesn’t matter.
I get reverse drunk goggles. I’ll look in the mirror and and think, “sure, you’re short and not fit, but you’re still cute and could crush.” I’ve never crushed…
I found an Irish 3 pence coin, so I drilled a hole in it and made it into a necklace. Good things have been happening ever since. I genuinely believe it is a good luck charm.
Highly recommend Tom Ford- Ombre Leather, Dior- Sauvage, Creed- Aventus (if you can find it), Paco Rabane- 1 Million or 1 Million Lucky, Oakcha- Cogcaine, Captain Fawcett- Booze and Baccy, and if you're old school, Drakkar Noir is a guilty pleasure scent of mine. Versace Eros is a low end scent but is pretty unique.
No problem! I listed them in order of my favourites. Ombre Leather, Creed Aventus, and Dior Sauvage take the cake. If Ombre Leather turns out a bit too much for you, there's also Tuscan Leather which isn't quite a similar scent but still has a leathery bad boy vibe and then there's Tuscan Leather intense- which ironically is actually a lighter smell than the original Tuscan leather. Highly recommend asking for samples in a beauty boutique or drug store or wherever they sell perfumes. It's a high end designer cologne so a full bottle can be pricey.
Where do you buy your colognes? I only know of like Macy’s to get cologne, and I’d like to go somewhere that really specializes in them to find something more personal. I found one I like that’s sort of like a sweet campfire, but when I go to Macy’s they all smell like a European nightclub.
If you’re Australian, I’d recommend against the 1 million, especially if you went to a public school. I can still smell the obnoxiousness years after graduating lol, it was definitely the most popular scent at school (not that it doesn’t smell nice)
I was given my dads leather jacket after he passed. It actually fits me really well and I wear it a lot in the winter. I think it's funny because I have people all the time say I look like a bad ass biker and I don't really understand why but instead of "thanks" it turns to "thanks, it was my dads" like I have to give him credit for making me look like a bad ass.
My armored jacket makes me look jacked. In general, I look like some rugged, competent adventurer (who wrestles bears) when I wear the whole get-up.
Little do they know: I'm taking my Honda down the road, at legal(ish) speeds, to bring my wife chicken nuggies and appy juice. But I've got dusty boots and a kickass bandana while I'm doing it.
I have a shitty chain my friend got for in a buy 1 get one free sale on some goofy website. It’s not an ugly chain but it’s not a high end product by any means. Whenever I wear it, I tell myself to act like it’s an expensive chain. Its gotten me the attention I’m looking for and a bit more confidence in the meantime.
The moment I put that on, with the jetpack, voice changer/amplifier and my little hiddem Bluetooth speaker quietly playing the imperial march song on a loop… you could have bill gates and zombie Steve jobs walk into the room… and everyone will still think you are the coolest nerd there. You have the biggest danged smile under that helmet.
