Costa, from Project X, is a guy many of us are deprived of…
If your life is surreal enough for you to have a friend like him in your social spectrum or better yet, in your immediate friendship group, don’t be annoyed by him, embrace him!
It’s not so much the fact that he probably drives you f-ing crazy and you’re maybe only friends with him out of habit… It’s all the endearing stuff he says and does. It’s the confidence and the epic one-liners that people like him come up with that make you have to stop and save what they just said on your phone in the midst of your laughter.
There has got to be a time where you’ve imagined your life is a movie, and with a friend like Costa – one my favourite characters in comedy – you have the ‘quirky friend’ aspect covered. You’re also reminded of a fact that is becoming more and more of a reality as the hipsters in today’s youth increase: Regardless of what you look like, confidence expressed in a really weird manner is the most important trait all the Costas of this world have.
It’s also their wicked sense of humour (and by wicked I mean literally evil – all the ‘wisecracks’ that completely go against the American PC mentality). They say everything you’re thinking, but don’t have the balls to say.
21 Jump Street taught you that the coolest kids these days are the ones who actually give a crap. Whether it’s about saving the environment, being tolerant, or school, you’re respected for standing up for what you believe in.
The best lesson I ever learned through personal experience is that the type of guy who is most desirable in my eyes is the one who is simply: GOOD OL’ AVERAGE. That being said, Costa’s killer blue eyes and curls don’t hurt. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t agree with a concept that was enforced amongst the “boiz” in my high school days: You-can’t-exactly-wank-over-a-personality; because there is an endless list of ‘nada-looking’ guys who I would way rather hook up with instead of some very good looking ones I know who are as interesting as a chameleon (fun to search for through a glass cage at the zoo, but boring once you realize they don’t do much with their lives).
…So, to all the girls who are set on their more-often-than-not-conventional ‘types’, (fake ones, scrape out) expand on your preferences and your norms, and be pleasantly surprised at the joy and contentment the chubby guy with glasses could give you.
Geek c’est chic? Yeahh buddy!
