My Name is Justin, And I Am Addicted to the Sun.
Hi Justin.
In April I went to Hawaii. After that, I had weekends at various pools. Then a trip to Las Vegas. Then a trip to Cancun. Then a trip to Laguna Beach. That's alot of sun exposure. And apparently my skin is too brown. I know this because today at lunch, I ran into three different people I know, and each one commented on my skin color. That tells me I've hit George Hamilton territory. I know that isn't good.
I do all the things: I wear hats. I slather on sunscreen (30spf on my face, and 8spf everywhere else). Okay, I guess those are the only things I do. I do not stay out of the sun during peak hours nor do I sit in shade. I also don't necessarily wear "cover up" clothing. So I guess that isn't good either.
The thing is when I look in the mirror I don't see a problem. Which reminds me of a poster I saw when I was in high school about eating disorders. Someone created a picture of Princess Diana looking in a mirror and seeing a morbidly obese person reflected. I thought that quite funny at the time. But I guess maybe I have that problem with respect to sun exposure.
So I'm admitting my problem. Now I need to find a support group.
However, I will point out that there are many studies that show sun exposure elevates mood. So maybe I am addicted to the elevated mood.
Irregardless, I am looking forward to flying back down to the OC again this weekend. Old habits die hard.

Well Justin, everyone must die of something.
Ah, memento mori. Thank you.

spf 8??? Do they even make that anymore? Why don't you just run naked through Death Valley?
Is that the second "irregardless" posted on your blog? Not to go all word police on you, but its just not a word!
Just the same, miss you.
Justy, mean sister is right. I was going to say something, but did not know how. We all make mistakes. We still love you.
I always thught he was honoring Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch as the Boston kids from SNL. You know, "Wicked awesome" "Nomar" and "irregardless." If that's not the case, I blame the sun.
Vt, that made me laugh out loud. I love when they do the Boston kids. So funny.
Actually, I adopted the "irregardless" from VT because she uses it all the time. And I use it in jest with her. Presumably, based on her comment, she adopted it from the SNL "Boston Kids".
No need to "word police" me on this one. Irregardless, I am happy to see people reading so closely.
