loser.

loser We all have those great mornings, when we think we’re on top of our game. We’re dressed up, looking hot, smelling good, and feel totally indestructable.

This morning was like that for me. I put on my new black pants, along with a dark striped shirt. I was having a pretty good hair day, wearing my favorite cologne, Pleasures.

Yep, everything was going my way.

When I got to work, Cory said “Hey, you’re wearing a blue shirt with black pants. That doesn’t match.”

WHAT??!!

All the coolness got knocked right out of me. I looked down as the fluorescent lighting beat down on me. Oh my God! He was right. I looked like I got dressed in the dark.

Shit. Okay, I guess the shirt was blue….very dark blue. I usually associate colors by tone. I guess that’s part of being a graphic designer. I put a dark shirt with dark pants, and they looked really good in natural lighting.

But it was a totally different story under this lighting. I look terrible. This is the equivalent of going on a date, having a great time, and then realizing you had something in your teeth the entire night. Ugh.

hehe, I’ve done this exact same thing with black and blue.. and it was because I was dressing with only 1 60 watt bulb to light my way.. makes a difference when you’re under the glare of 4000W at the office.

Perspective is a bitch, no?

And it took a straight man to point this out! You definitely lose gay points.

I’m sure you make up for it every other day though. Now, go turn off some lights.

Oh no! That is esactly why Brad, my partner, scrutinizes his outfits in different lighting conditions. He’s terrified of suffering an embarassment such as that one.

Just smile a lot and no one will notice! Wear it like you own it!

Perhaps the shirt was “The deepest shade of blue”?

OMG! You’re gay card will be revoked if anyone finds out this. That is just bad! Honey I have done worse. Black shoes and socks and a brown belt. Oh good Lord. I had no idea that was a no no.

I was always under the impression that any two solid colours match. Even if they do look like crap together.
