Darkness

Dave!This morning I was working in bed, trying to get the hang of my new 3-D modeling software, when the electrical power went out. This didn't matter much to me, because I was working on a laptop with a full battery.

But the power never came back on.

I needed to take a shower and get to work, but nothing was happening. Eventually I decided to just bite the bullet and take a shower in the darkness of my windowless bathroom. I mean hey, I pretty much know where all my body parts are, so how difficult could it be? In fact, it might end up being big fun!

Uhhh... yeah.

Showering in the dark is not nearly as entertaining as you would think.

Not only did I lose one of my contact lenses, but I think I ended up washing my hair with facial scrub, and I'm pretty sure there's still shampoo in places where shampoo should not be.

But that wasn't the worst part.

The worst part was that I accidentally went to work with a fauxhawk...

Davehawk
LEFT: My normal mess. RIGHT: accidental fauxhawk in the dark.

When I finally noticed it, I was really embarrassed.

But then I started thinking that this is a look I can totally pull off.

Now I just need to dye it pink...

That's a hot hawk! I say you shower (at my house) in the dark (at my house) all the time.

ooohhhh... I may have to play with that look... if I do I'll send you the pics!

I rather like the faux hawk. It looks pretty hawt.

No one at work said anything? If one of my coworkers walked in with their hair out of its normal style, I would definitely notice and a fauxhawk deserves a "What's with the new look?" comment at the very least.

Of course, a fauxhawk in my office would subject the wearer to an unending stream of heckles.

Why is "Anarchy in the UK" playing in my head?

Do pink with white tips. That'd be a hawtty hawk.

Posted by NYCWD on April 16, 2008

   

But it totally works! This could be a new look for you!

Posted by Robin on April 16, 2008

   

Generally, I like it. Maybe you can get your ears pierced, too.

Posted by Iron Fist on April 16, 2008

   

You look totally hardcore and hot. Love it.

Posted by Hilly Sue on April 16, 2008

   

Much better than what Matthew Broderick did in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

Posted by ChillyWilly on April 16, 2008

   

That's a very "street" look for you. I can see you out clubbing in that do. Washing the wrong parts of your body with face scrub kinda sucks tho.

With a widow's peak like that (v. jealous!) I'm thinking, go gold and be Ming the Merciless ;o)

Posted by Penelope on April 16, 2008

   

you need stretched earlobes and some serious tattoos to go with your new style.

Posted by Göran on April 16, 2008

   

I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley, dude. You look TOUGH. I mean, except for the kissy face.

Posted by Karl on April 17, 2008

   

Oooh! A teletubbie!

Posted by whall on April 17, 2008

   

But, is it really a fauxhawk when you have like .5 inches of length to your hair?

Either way, it's pretty hot. (And showers in the dark...I think might freak me out. Hmm. I'll have to test that theory.)

No matter what look you sport, you are a very, very pretty man.

Posted by Mr. Fabulous on April 17, 2008

   

A little touch-up, and you could totally go out looking like that:

What about a candle? Then it could be a romantic shower. wink, wink, nudge, nudge

Posted by *pixie* on April 17, 2008

   

Dude, you are so ready to be on American Idol!

Posted by kapgar on April 17, 2008

   

I would have never guessed you have a widow's peak.

Posted by Miss Britt on April 17, 2008

   

I don't, really... that's my fauxhawk drooping down over my forehead... it's kind of hard to see in that photo because my camera isn't that great in low light.

:-)

Fierce!

Posted by diane on April 17, 2008

   

So, let's just toss caution to the wind here for a minute......how upset with me would you be if I told you, honestly, that I love the new hawk look? Seriously. I'm digging it. And I got to thinking about that facial scrub on your wee-wee....and hope it didn't hurt.

Posted by Lewis on April 17, 2008

   

You can totally pull off a fauxhawk just don't do that thing with your lips. :P

Also, I laughed out loud with your post. Sorry...

By the way, next time spend a little more time under the water to make sure all the soap (from all the funny places) has been rinsed off. I had something funny to say while I was reading this but now I've forgotten so pretend I just said something funny...

Posted by Colin Brooks on April 17, 2008

   

Fauxhawk + Blue Steel look = teh sexy.

This is good practice for NYC.

Posted by Dustin on April 17, 2008

   

damn, my shower in the dark turned out even worse than that. stupid hot water heater apparently needs electricty. brrr!

dave, you can rock that look quite well.

(although i am giggling @ adam!!)

Posted by hello haha narf on April 17, 2008

   

It totally works, as long as you keep that sexy pout.

Posted by kilax on April 17, 2008

   

Yeah, tattoos would definitely complete the ensemble ;-)

Posted by Kevin Spencer on April 17, 2008

   

I love the 'hawk! My son asks for a fauxhawk at least once a week...this after having had a real one for months. :)

Posted by Sandie on April 17, 2008

   

Some fauxs look emo, you just look McTough with a side of hot.

Posted by Foo on April 17, 2008

   

No window in the bathroom? I don't think I could live somewhere like that. What do you open for fresh air when someone lays a stinker in there?

Posted by Robert on April 17, 2008

   

You can totally rock that look.

Posted by claire on April 17, 2008

   

What with the number ticket porn-pose and the pouty fauxhawk look you're really spoiling us with the visuals Dave. You're just working up to those shirtless shots aren't you? ;-)

Posted by Alex on April 17, 2008

   

OMG, I'm sooo sorry but Adam's remake of your fauxmohawk made me laugh so hard my chest hurts.

I feel inspired to find some Aquanet...

Posted by Lisa on April 17, 2008

   

I was rocking the fauxhawk a couple of years ago. I like it- I'm just losing too much hair for it to work for me.

Keep it. You look edgy.

Posted by Whit on April 17, 2008

   

No. Just don't do it, man. DON'T.

Posted by Brent Vermilyea on April 18, 2008

   

I am still trying to figure out HOW you did that. You look like a "Top Chef" contestant.

Posted by Belinda on April 18, 2008

   

Dude. Seriously. Face wash? What a metro.

Posted by The Absurdist on April 18, 2008

   

I actually like the fauxhawk better :)

Posted by joy on April 19, 2008

   

ROFL @Avitable! Rock the hawk, Dave!
