bandana johnny west The concept of a guy wearing a bandana was introduced to me through the TV show Northern Exposure. On the show, Chris (played by John Corbett) sometimes wore a blue bandana. It got me thinking...maybe I'd look good in a bandana. So I found a place that sold them and bought a few. I bought two blue ones, a purple one, a red one, a biege one and a grey one. The only one I wear now is the lightest blue bandana. If I don't like the way my hair looks, I either tie it back or tie the bandana around it. I like being able to change my appearance. Sometimes I wear glasses, with or without a bandana, or I scare people by dressing up (coat and tie and all that). It's fun. Maybe I should consider tying my hair in pigtails as another option. 010312 ... mikey for me it was long time ago back in the 80s the breakdancing days wearin them and breakdancing on cardboard boxes. or when i was into the heavy metal scene when the band pins all over your hacket was cool to. 010312 ... angie there was a boy named josh...i walked in the place...and was immediately drawn to him...and his blue bandana... i didnt approach him...why would i? thats not my style... i remember it like it was yesterday... that band started the cover of "u remind me" by nickleback... i was havin fun singing along with my friends...then BAM...he appears...behind my circle of friends...and motions for me to join him... what a night mission accomplished? i'd say so... 020120 ... psychobabe heh ryan, adam, and chad give me such grief about wearing a bandana alllll the time. So what? hehe i think it looks good, makes me feel good. I have 2 main ones. A black and white one, ya know like army print. Then this hooters one. No no, not mine my sisters cuz when we were in florida i guess she wanted one. Now i've found many more but those arent as important. See, i hate the way my hair is alot of the time and to wear it up makes me feel much better. So with two little strands in front then the rest pulled back makes me look much better to myself...and do others :p AS i finish this up i say way to go for the bandanas. They help greatly 020121 ... raze got a dresser drawer full of these things now. fabric relics from what feels like another lifetime. 130314 ... raze tying my favourite blue one around my head, the one i wore so much twenty years ago, is the closest thing i've ever found to time travel. 210811 ... tender square whenever i think of bandana’s, i’m reminded of mary karr’s description of david foster wallace from an aa meeting in her memoir lit: “pony-tailed david with his gangster timberland boots and red bandana holding his head together.” guess the bandana didn’t do quite the job he hoped it would. 210812 ... tender square your husband often tells you you’re "a good one," meaning you’ve been voted most unlikely to be a badass or break rules. it’s just not in your nature. it’s a lot like that ill-fitting black adidas tracksuit you tried to rock when you were 12, as if you were a mini-member of run-dmc, as if you were some kind of olympic athlete when you had asthma and hated anything that required running. it’s all posture: the tears still fell and you winced when paramedics peeled the jacket from your dislocated shoulder, all because you forbade them from taking scissors to the poly blend you spent so much paper route money on. "you’re lucky you were wearing your helmet," they told you, as they loaded you into the ambulance, as if you might’ve done anything less. 210812 ... kerry i had three--one navy and two red. one of the red ones i'd found inside a motorcycle helmet in our basement and pocketed. it was from the 70s, threadbare, "made in USA." i don't know where it is now... it's one of those little items, like a specific tie-dye t-shirt and a mesh tea-ball, that don't have much meaning in themselves but that i regret losing. my nose was always runny (terrible allergies) and there would be balled up paper tissues in a halo around my bed, my nostrils chafed and red, so i used the bandanas as snot rags. washed them with my clothes once they were stiff and crunchy. and i liked the look of a bandana in my back pocket. it was such an affect, but i was in high school and still building an image of myself. climbing on the bus one day steve pulled the bandana out of my pocket, teasing me, and i told him what it was for. the flirting stopped right there (for a little while). 220421 what's it to you? who go blather from
