The Eyes of Guy

How Is It Even Possible?

The most recent Guy I mentioned has recently been in Vienna, Austria taking a chocolate tasting class. For real bonafide college credits. I've heard of wine or beer tasting but somehow he has become even more cultured than your above average American. He even found and dated, what I believe to be, a unicorn amongst women: a well endowed gymnast. And he completed that feat by his junior year in highschoo, then, without looking back, dated a model his freshman year of college. What else does this man have in store for us? Oh, and here's his beard

What more could anyone ask for? The rest of his life he will be swimming with the fishes, being a marine biologist. It appears that he does exactly what he wants to, whatever that may be, and, so far, that is working out very well for him. I think that is what I am trying to get at. Do what you want, do it well, be as accomplished as these Thugz. (I don't know what the definition of "accomplished" is.)
The next Guy of Thugz I will introduce you to is one that I have only recently (because I was really only an observer of his high school escapades) gotten to glimpse the Thugz Interpretation he has on life, the universe, and everything. We find him, somehow, to be a cool person in today's accepted understanding of the word while still adhering to a strict Thugz lifestyle. And here he is:

Even if there wasn't a picture being taken of him I can guarantee he would remain toasting to the world. And why shouldn't he? The world treats him well as long as he puts forth, from what I've observed, a minimal amount of effort. Somehow this man has figured out how to make the world turn in his favor, and I commend him. You can't comprehend what is coming next.

 Here is some of his later work showing his acting and lyrical genius and, yep, he looks like just another whitey stealing the rap game from black culture and doing a great job of it. Fortunately, that is not entirely true, or else he would have lost the pedestal of esteem on which I hold him. He is arguably the most artistically inclined Guy of Thugz, pursuing his passion through a legitimate career, and expresses that talent through writing, directing, filming, and acting in any sort of screenplay, normal play, animation or any other sort of production. This is not your typical rap video because he is not claiming to be the acclaimed actor Tim Allan or using a pseudonym. It appears to me that he wrote, performed, and probably had a hand in directing it purely for his own enjoyment and happens, to the benefit of all humanity, to want to share it as well. To all of humanity he is presenting himself as a goofy, lyrically talented, lanky white boy, and perhaps, that is exactly what he is.

Here is a link to the rest of his first original EP, if you feel so inclined to enjoy it with him. http://timallan.bandcamp.com/album/pajama-party

Taking a New Direction

I have begun anew. Worry not if you were looking forward to further details of The Guy's foray into social media, for more shall come later, but I have been persuaded to expand the scope of this here blog. The greater purpose is now to provide you with the Thugz (the aforementioned name of the Facebook chat my friends and I use) outlook on life. This, I have recently become aware, is an entirely different interpretation of life than most. I have also found that I enjoy taking part in that outlook rather than any other, especially any that seem prevalent in today's society. Today, I will be bringing you the interpretation of this Guy. Here is some of his early work to watch, if it pleases you.

To provide some context:
The International Baccalaureate Program was met with some resistance from the student populace. This Guy was brave enough to voice his opinion through writing, directing, and filming this farce. He and most of the other performers in this video took part in this program.

I too took part in this program and, looking back, why did I resist as well? It actually helped prepare me for college, more than I think regents classes would have. The administrators of our high school looked to improve our lives but we did not want it. I believe I realized why This Guy created this video much later, just today, in fact. And it may not have been to simply protest against the man.

A Social Phenomenon Enhanced

The next time The Guy chose to begin Thugz' day with a candid selfie he revolutionized the entire selfie phenomenon and restored my faith in humanity. Through mine own eyes I saw hope for a generation in a man who did not care one iota about how others saw him. I do not know if he was the first to do this, but I firmly believe he will not be the last. Remember that uncertain look on his first selfie? Well, he is now surely barging through social barriers. Here is a man who, with no regard to social mores, posted this and firmly shook me awake...(warning: some may consider this a less than tasteful moment I mentioned in the first post, hence the large page break)


































Now, in case the picture's blurriness obscures it at all, I will provide some explanation. Yes, that is the same astounding mustache as the first selfie. Yes, those are black with white polka dots underwear. And yes, that is The Guy not giving a single shit about his routine morning bowel movement. I know of people who have "public pooping anxiety" and have difficulty excreting in a public restroom but This Guy went out of his way to share this moment of his private life with his good friends. Upon first seeing this, I burst out laughing because I did not know how to react, never even imagining I would find myself in this situation. But after further consideration and the suppression of all my doubts in him, I found just as many questions about today's society being raised by this, no doubt, controversial selfie.
When did defecation become a private event?
Why is there such stigma put on passing gas in the public sphere when, at least in my closest circle of family and friends and when seen on television or a viral video, it can be hilarious?
Why do men feel pressured to forgo that natural pressure in order to maintain a casual or even serious relationship with the opposite sex?
These are only a few questions that have been raised by this man's selfless act. In this blog and hopefully with your help, I aim to contemplate humanity.

The Beginning of Peculiarity

The Guy is an avid internet user, perusing Reddit or YouTube comments on a regular basis, so I will assume he is up to date with the most popular internet trends. I have also found that part of his daily routine is, after waking up, if a conversation has yet to begin on Thugz Chat, he likes to start one. Generally it began with a simple "yo" or "what's going on," however, one day, things changed. This is what he led with, to which I was rudely shocked from my morning grogginess...
A selfie, and a poor one at that. Sure the mustache is impeccable, such that even I envy, but I imagined this Guy as one who was beyond today's self-centered culture. The fact that he seemingly had been corrupted by popular social media shook me to my very core. Such an unorthodox man, one who had left college to wander the globe for an indefinite period of time, returning only after the passing of a dear friend of ours, I did not dream could give into such a horrendous trend. After I saw this my own will broke and even I gave into the trend. I did not know what was right in the world any longer. But all my hopes and dreams were restored when he gave the Thugz a bit more context the next morning.

An Introduction to The Guy

My friends and I use a Facebook chat to keep in contact with each other throughout the day, over long distances, to coordinate activities, etc. Naturally, it is named Thugz. The subject of this blog will be one of my friends I have known since elementary school who is quite the character.
Here is the man sleeping, in his normal state. This is, for lack of a better term, Guy. He has begun to use our Thugz Chat in an odd manner. This blog will chronicle that use. He has given me permission to use any and all pictures of him. I will do my best to present them to you in a tasteful manner. WARNING: The subject of this blog, Guy, may not be tasteful.
