It seems that as we progress and mature through life, we seem to feel the need to prove ourselves. We feel the need to define and carve out an image of what and who we are. May it be writing a great piece of literature, being an amazing athlete, or just having your name remembered, never being forgotten. My story does not apply to the former examples, but rather a different form of proving yourself.
I was walking down the hallway at work today, on the way to my desk. I was walking along, minding my own business when (who woulda guessed?) John (coworker) rounded the corner. He started on his way down the hallway in my direction.
Now, let me give you some background info really quick. John is bald (up top) and legitimately insane. He'll come up to you and pretend to speak Italian or Ethiopian. He'll come up to you and mumble some gibberish, and look at you like you're the idiot when you don't answer him. One time he came up to me and said, "I'm gonna get ya, one of these days...I'm gonna get ya." That scared me, understandably. But there's one thing that I do believe about John, which is I think he's 'playing a game.' I think he's an intelligible person, yet he puts on the act of an insanely crazed lunatic...most likely for his own enjoyment and sick self pleasure. But don't get me wrong, John truly is a great guy. Okay, sorry about that...back to the story at hand.
As John rounded the corner, our eyes met. Not that "gay-eye contact," but rather the eye contact which cannot be broken, for the one who does break it is punished with the "wow, I'm a pussy cause I broke that manly star eye contact." The punishment is all mentally self-inflicted. Anyway, as we walked toward each other, it was one of those moments when everything around you moves at normal pace, but you and him are in the slowest of all slow-motions. We walked toward each other, eyes locked, eyebrows flared, hair blowing from the wind of manliness that propelled us.
As we drew closer, he cracked. He said "Hey" and nodded his head. "Yes," I thought to myself, "I have done it. I gone through puberty again, I have moved up a notch on the man-ladder."
I walked back to my desk, had a seat, and gave the smallest of all smirks as my hair once again blew in the wind of manliness.

Oh, so this one is basically about you walking by a guy and not being gay?
Great. Really great. But not as great as the awesomness of my -2 bitch.

+1 for pointing out one of those little quirks that all humans share, but never really talk about - for fear of getting a blank stare.

Good stuff.
The "wind of manliness" holds a completely different meaning for me.
