I Don't Know Why

I have this inherent need to feel tough all the time. I was thinking today about some of the things I do to make myself feel like a badass. Then I thought "You know what? It's been too long since I posted a completely pointless list!" So here you go.

1. Drink black coffee. I don't know exactly why this makes me feel tough, but it does. Back when I was at WVU, drinking 151 had a similar effect. 

2. Refuse to sleep in, even when I don't have anything to do. 

3. Wear basically the same clothes whether it's 15 degrees or 98 degrees outside. 

4. Make myself do every exercise on on the DVD just a little more intensely than they tell me to. 

5. Carry furniture at work every chance I get. 

6. Occasionally challenge myself by eating food that is hotter than even I like it. Those who know me can tell you that is pretty fucking hot. 

7. Refuse to show most emotions. 

8. Constantly try to do things that I was previously unable to do. (Currently, I'm working on pull-ups)

9. Refuse to treat wounds, even though this results is nasty looking scars from unimpressive injuries. 

10. Never show fear; not during scary movies, not that time I went to Fright Farm, not when people intentionally try to scare me, not when I got threatened by Ed the Brahma bull. 

I had intended to go with the classic version of this, with Neil deGrasse Tyson. However, this owl looks totally unimpressed, and I thought that was more appropriate.
