Normaly I am an on-time type of guy, though I have had a few blemishes on that record. Mostly with family events. I thought maybe I should get another watch, why not. So I left Panara early on Sunday and went next door to the K-Mart. Cheap is fine. Chances are I'll loose it well before I break it. So I wandered through the watch section there looking for a pocket watch. Not sure why I prefer a pocket watch, but I do. Problem is they are rare in comparison especially in a K-Mart. Even then I am picky with my watches, as with most everything. =P The ones they had didn't thrill me so I went to the normal wrist watches and found a nice one from Sharp. Metal, Non-digital, calendar date, flexible linnk band, and dark grey with gold trim. All around a very nice looking and affordable watch. When I got it out to the car and put it on I remembered the two reasons I like pocket watches.
A.My arm is to hairy. The links sometimes catch and pull. Slightly uncomfortable, but wouldn't happen if not for reason B.
B.My wrist is apparently to small for normal guy watches. It is also to large for normal kids watches. So any guy watch I get slides and flips around on my wrist.
This leads me to why I am wearing my watch on my hand. I didnt remember until it was to late, but I had to do the same thing on my last wrist watch. It looks like I tried to put it on normal but couldn't get it over my thumb. So here I sit with the actuall clock face resting on the back of my hand. Makes me think how much I changed and yet didn't. Part of me always enjoyed doing things differently and now those differences are my commonplace. Planting such a seed in my head now will likely bear fruit later. We'll see...

Hah! Good story! Its funny how you included Panara since we talk about that pretty often it seems :) I was there last week but the salad I ordered was too wet and my wife got angry at the people working their for being to pushy and high pressuring the customers. I think we had fun anyways :)
I like pockit watchs as well although recently I dont carry any watch since I can just use my cell phone. I have a special strap for my wrist watch though that can easily be adjusted and doesnt snag on anything. It also breathes nicely and doesnt irritage my skin like the rubber band do. Plus their designs look funky: Silverfoot
yea, i'm also a fan of the pocket watches. i need to get new batteries for mine so i can start wearin them again, since i always forget to wind my windup.
Think I'm gonna MOD my watch so I can just wear it on a belt loop or something.
Strange how long I went without it for so long and now that I have it I barely check the time on it. :/
Oh well...
