Blake's hair has been getting progressively longer these past few weeks and he finally decided to buzz it off yesterday. He figured you can't do much wrong with a buzz cut. Anyways, today we went for a walk downtown and people seemed to be staring more than usual. I initially wrote it off as astonishment at seeing a white guy in shorts and flipflops in public, but as we kept walking it seemed different than the other days. They kept smiling at us and then one guy saluted Blake as we walked by. Blake said to me somewhat confused, 'Do they think I'm in the army?' At that point someone else came up to us and gave Blake the thumbs up sign. As we walked by a group of men sitting on the sidewalk selling vegetables, the one guy stood and then bowed his head.
These are Blake's comments regarding the situation, "I think I have a warrior's face...I can see why they think that." ;) I guess we're somewhat enjoying the benefits of the misunderstanding.

I just stopped in from Jerry's blog.
and blake dude, it's true. I pegged you as an army boy /without/ a shaved head. Even though you're presumably not a soldier.
You just sort of look the part!

Hey Meaghan- thanks for reading...I agree totally. Erin just thought I was being ridiculous. Anyways, how are you doing? What are you up to?
Blake, you have a warrior's face...just not at ping-pong! Bwah ha ha ha. I wish I was in Korea. Then I would buzz my head too and we could act like two army men in downtown Daegu. We would wrestle and make it look like we got into a fight over something really important.
Hey Blake do you have $2000 so I could come to S. Korea?
Miss you guys

I think what makes this post funny from my angle is picturing Blake when he said "I think I have a warrior's face... I can see why they think that." The knowing smile, the hand gestures...
Love you guys! Take care.
Glad you caught the humour Todd ;)
