This has been a moving target for me. When I was a kid I was most insecure about the color of my skin. I grew up one of the only brown kids in my town. My mother is of Mexican descent and my father of German. Later, as I got older I became more insecure about having a big nose. -it's still pretty damned big.

These days I'm pretty self confident. -no joke.

But I would strongly consider taking a closer look at that nose.

I'm Hispanic also (Mexican father and Dominican mother). I guess I was lucky to grow up where I did because my darker skin has never been an issue for me. There was one kid in elementary school who made fun of me for it, but I learned to ignore him. Also, I too have a large nose. It's not something I pay attention to, but I am well aware of it's massive size.

I think big noses are cool. I like girls with a little something going on in the middle of their face. I think it give men a bit of character if they are at all outgoing, if you got a big nose and you look like you are confident and fun then you probably got it going on.

My nose is neither here nor there, somewhere in between.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. When I was about 22 years old I went to see a show at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor Michigan. When the show was over, and I was walking to my car, I was sucker punched by a drunk Ohio State fan who was in town for football. I had to be taken to the hospital, my nose had to be re-broken in order to reset it. It's never looked the same since.

I hate Ohio State.
