The Importance of Being Random
So yesterday as I was driving to a friend's house, I picked my nose. It was intense, for the moment I stopped picking the itch present in my nose continued. I looked in the mirror to see why there was such an itch on my nose and I saw a hair. Now I thought this was no big deal, you see I have a rather large beard. It was my initial understanding that this hair on my nose was coming from my face, alas I was wrong. While driving, I discovered that this hair was not on the external part of my face, but that its origins were from deep within my nostrils. So, I tried to pluck it, after one failed attempt with several tears trickling down my face, I determined to finish the job once the car was stopped. After I parked, I grabbed the pair of tweezers that are in my car (for what reason tweezers are in my car, I have no clue) and gave this evil hair a light pluck. My hand faltered and the hair remained in my nose. Several more tears streaming down one half of my face and I decided to give up. I will say repeatedly that I have no shame, so I felt no great concern with a nose hair poking its way out of my nostril. After a few moments chilling with my friend my curiosity got the best of me and I gave another try after this ominous foe. This time I was victorious!! I had plucked the hair. In that moment of glorious victory, I was confronted with the horrible truth. I had just plucked a 3/4inch nose hair. The biggest problem with this whole ordeal is that I really don't like being...hairy? It is not exactly my thing to have loads of hair, yet, it seems to be my reality. I am not yet close to 25 years old and my nose hairs are already 3/4inch long. What will happen when I am 60? I hate to think of the future of my nose hair. I can only imagine being unable to hear because of ear hair, or not being able to smell because of nose hair. That is only a glimpse into the pathetic nature I call my life. So the moral of the story is keep a handy pair of tweezers in your car, you never know when you'll have a rogue nose hair.
