What the hell is wrong with me?
Over the last year I have developed an interest for all things manly of yesteryear. I’ve taken up hobbies that are long gone relics of the past. Pipe smoking, dressing to the nines, getting a shave at the barbershop, writing with a fountain pen, furnishing my home with antique furniture.
At the end of a long day I will come home and enjoy a cigar beside the fire, contemplating in deep thought as I read the works of Hemingway or Twain in my leather armchair.. I might play a vintage vinyl or watch an old film. I only drink scotch or whiskey. My social circle has changed. I associate myself with deep thinkers, sports enthusiasts, and have replaced technology with conversation. To my lady friends I extend gestures of a gentlemen that have long been forgotten.
I often don a fedora, boutineer, suit, or trench coat. I shine my leather shoes almost daily. I look like Sinatra or an Italian mobster straight out of the 1930′s.
What the hell is wrong with me?
nothing, if you’re happy. but if it’s making you upset, perhaps your interest has turned into an obsession…try to spend a night or two in the current century and see how you feel.
