A nice spring day gone wrong...or, how the hulk is messing with my mind! ;)

[Cru Jones]

so, i woke up this morning to an absolutely gorgeous spring day here in paris.....some leaves are starting to come out, the flowers are sprouting, all is good.

little did i know how the hulk would darken my day........

for the first time since september, it's warm enough to wear a short sleeve shirt, so, on came a red polo. wasn't really thinking about it. and, when i saw the red, i thought of the 24-hour hand on my 16570....





as some may know, i've been obsessing about the hulk for some time.....and, with this red polo of mine, i thought to myself "you see? you'd really flip the explorer ii for the hulk? it's not christmas! red and green....no, no, no." and, so, i thought, i'm cured of the hulk! how could i trade my classic enigma? the clean, crisp lines....the stealth....the classic good looks.

yeah, that lasted a couple of hours....i even took that picture above, thinking how everything seemed right in the world.



but, then, the dial, the green, the hulk....i started daydreaming about it again and how it would look in the sun (yes, i had some time on my hands while at the park with the kids). when we got back, i just couldn't take it anymore....first, i changed shirts to something hulk-appropriate (basically, anything not red is appropriate). and then, looking at my wrist, something else had to change....

so, out came the tools and the rubber strap for this one:



d*mn you hulk!!! how i hate you!!!! how i love you!!!!!
