My Review of REI Fall Fleet Hoodie - Men's

Originally submitted at REI

The REI Fall Fleet hoodie helps you fend off the chills of a late-season run with its performance fabric and expert fit. Soft recycled polyester comfortably moves with you during activities. Moisture-wicking fabric dries fast so you won't feel chilled when a breeze kicks up. Fabric provides UPF 40 ...


Loved it so much I bought another.

5out of 5

Fit: Feels true to size

Pros: Warm, Comfortable, Lightweight

Best Uses: Running

Describe Yourself: Avid Athlete

Was this a gift?: No

I use this when running on Fall days. I have found that while it is not windproof it cuts the wind down enough to make a difference. I like that I can put a light compression shirt, a cold gear type t-shirt, or a long sleeve cold gear shirt under it as necessary for the conditions. The arm pocket is great for holding my house keys. The hood keeps my ears just warm enough on brisk days.

Woody and me chill as can be

Recently, I have not been blogging, okay for the last 6-8 months I have not been blogging. I guess this had to do with feeling a little exposed and not feeling comfortable writing about life. Anyway, since I last wrote I started giving brief sex education talks to people returning from prison.

From these talks, I learned I could do sex education and that I like doing sex education, for the most part. Also, I learned that doing this feeds an already voracious appetite to discuss sex and relationships. However, feeding the beast just makes it want more.

I love sex. I love listening to people discuss sex. I love the idea that I am imparting some information that some one did not know. Sometimes, I learn something new as well.

Overall, I think I am happy but I am not quite sure. I know I like myself but I question the why of what I am doing. A wise friend encouraged me to go for it and not worry too much about the why (i.e. stop trying to find a pathology). I am not hurting anyone. I try not to be too overbearing or pestering. (Today, I failed at that but tomorrow is another day.) Another friend said I should get a PhD. in sexuality or sexology. She might have just been saying that to get me to go away though. :)

On a side note, I think sexuality is treated as a feminine concept. By that I mean, not that it is solely female but treated in a softer fashion and rarely associated with heterosexual men.

I think I am happy. I think I am happy. I think I am happy. I know I am bored.
