Be Honest,Do You Just Stare at Yourself and Think How Totally Cool You Are?

This is my "walking music":

 

[brookdalebill]

I see my Dad, and his Dad.
I’m proud of that.

 

[Recalcitrant]

Yes, but it was with an accordion.

 

[drmordo]

Only when I'm playing the drums.

 

[Digital Larry]

Way easier to imagine it without the mirror. What's really tough is seeing pictures of myself. The mirror still lies.

 

[fretknot]

I look in the mirror and I see the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

 

[Rocky058]

Not for the last five years.

 

[mad dog]

I look because I have to, not because I want to. Not at all the scenario you paint.

 

[lowatter]

Mirrors are the bane of our existence.

 

[guitarsophist]

I know where all the mirrors are in my house. I don't look at them unless I am trying to part what hair I have left or shaving odd areas outside of my beard. Are you a vampire or something? Mirrors. Geeze.

 

[pixeljammer]

Naw, man, I have people to do that.

[Fiesta Red]

I stare at myself in the mirror and think, Man, What happened?

I wonder why my dad’s staring at me and how he got so tall.
—————
I know I’m not that great-looking, but there’s not a whole lot I can do about it except take care of myself.

What is funny is that I quit trying to wear what is in style or what is supposed to “go together” (for example, I wear boots but not Wranglers—I wear the Levi’s I’ve always preferred) and just wear what I like…my wife has noted I look better, and even a couple of my daughter’s friends have said, “Your dad dresses cool!”

I think it’s more the attitude of being comfortable and confident in what I’m wearing.

Confidence (not cockiness) us the most attractive thing a person can wear.

Except for the fact that it's a Strat, no I don't need the mirror to confirm/disprove how cool/uncool I may or may not be.

 

[BlackASATClassic]

With a t-shirt, jean-jacket and telecaster, I can still look kind of cool in the mirror. Photos are tougher though...

 

[TheCheapGuitarist]

A better question would be, when don't I?

 

[dsutton24]

Nah, I'm too cool for such silliness.

 

[lammie200]

Only when I am taking a work zoom meeting sitting on the edge of my bed.

 

[keithb7]

I sometimes get up, shower, brush my teeth and leave for work. Later I’ll realize I never even looked in the mirror that morning. So no, not much to contribute to this thread.

 

[telleutelleme]

Yep. Started with my first date.
