Control Macho vs Playing Macho

Is there a difference between playing macho and control macho?? Oh yes there is a thin red line that separates these two types of characteristics. Control Macho is our local term and i believe it defines the attitude of trying to stay as cool as it gets within international interpretation .

Many celebrities are well known for their control macho attitude for example Jay Zhou the Taiwanese hip hop superstar who is well known for constantly looking at the ground with his cap covering his mashimaro pair of eyes . I do not know as to whether his a really shy dude or his got some problem with his neck. Well, one thing's for sure he does not have a valid driver's license because if he has one then it would raise questions as to how he sat for his test while looking down??

Keanu Reeves the good looking heart throb from Matrix is also well known for controlling macho. Keanu's facial expression is always a blank expression. Elvis , Travolta and hell a lot more of them are also from the same species. I guess it is a trait for a celebrity to always control macho in case papparazis are around.

Apart from celebrities , normal people such as me and you control macho too. At times without realising and at times just to feel cool about ourselves. I recall at the age of seven i stole my dad's brandy but not to consume it but rather to have it applied around my face to have that sensational unshaved look like Sylvester from Rambo. It was sensational alright. O yeah, the burning sensation on my face which leaves me with red rashes around my mouth and neck area as if i have just received a bitch slap from a furious ex girlfriend. It is a clear cut example of my failed attempt in playing macho. However, as my relatives laughed hysterically and questioned me if it hurts, i replied that i feel no pain and now this is an example of me applying the control macho theory. Suprisingly, there were no hair growing at that time but 20 years later, i have got hair all over my neck and side burns that seem to grow thicker than ever even after i have just got them shaved few days back.

I recall growing up as an adolescent idolising Elvis and Travolta. Oh yes that was the Saturday Night Fever era. I foolishly printed out a picture of Travolta online and brought it to the barber and specifically instructed my barber to style me up with that hairdo from Grease. My hair undergone an hour of perm session and it became really stiff. My friends at school was shocked and kept wondering "What on earth happened to me during the holidays?"

I told them it was the side effect of a shampoo with perm control chemicals and they bought my story. My hair was super stiff until my comb got stucked in between my hair as i was combing it and it took me some time to kill trying to untangle the comb from my hair. It was not entirely a failed attempt. As a matter of fact it was a successful attempt for i got that hairdo that i wanted.
During my teenage years i was inspired by this biker dude with his hair all comb backwards as he conquers the dessert with his Harley and his leather jacket. Well being at that age it was impossible for me to afford a leather jacket so i had a glossy,black rain coat instead or more like a wind breaker.

Yeah that was the whole idea of playing macho during my younger years. Control macho i have got a fair share of experiences as well. I remembered that i met up with this childhood play mate that i have been longing to meet for ages and we bumped into each other in some kind of charity fair. Despite all the eargerness to speak to her and all the excitement of finally meeting her again, i had to cast her aside, pretended to seem busy for "God Knows Why" and i have never seen her again ever since.
