Well, I did it. I got my hairs cut. I updated my fotopage so you can take a look if you want. Would have put it directly on here but this is just easier so neener. From here on I will try and update that page far more often.

So about the hair. First of all let me say that I had over 10 inches chopped off and put in an envelope to donate to Locks of Love. So that also means the haircut was free. Two bonuses in one.

I thought maybe once I got in the chair I would get nervous like I did the first time I whacked all my hair off, but that was not the case. I rejoiced at the first cut. The difference is amazing. No more weight on my head, no more itchy long hair that gets knotty and breaks off if I look at it wrong and no more hair sticking to my neck under my winter coat. No more hair bands, no more toothpaste spit, no more leaning over and having it in my face and no second towel for drying my hair out of the shower. Huzzah!

The man who cut my hair must be noted. Im not sure how exactly you describe a guy like this without using his NJ accent and slow mannerisms. We decided that he's an ex drug user because otherwise we'd have to say he's probably a mental patient. He's one of those people that speaks, then pauses to the point where you feel you must respond but as soon as you do he picks up right where he left off...or somewhere completely different.

Him: "Did you know this area use to be run by gangs in the 50's? They wore like gang jackets and stuff (points to his shoulders as the international sign for jacket) and they had stuff on the backs."

Me: "Like Greasers?"

Him: Looong pause and a little spacy "You know like the movie Grease?" Followed by odd half giggle.

Then some commercial comes on and he mouths out the words to it. Poor man is probably just going insane from listening to the radio all day.

Him: "....latte."

Me: "You listen to the radio a lot eh?"

Him: "You ever see that Seinfeld with Kramer when he takes a latte into the movie theatre and he gets in trouble cause of the latte cause they don't allow food or drink in the movies?"

Me: "Yeah, we watch Seinfeld every nite!"

Him: "Last night was the one with the library cop and Jerry kept laughing so they had to do all these different takes cause he didn't stop laughing cause the library cop was so funny and even when you watch the show you can see Jerry laughing. Did you see that?"

Me: "Yeah, that guy was hilarious!"

Him: "Yeah cause he was trying to be all guy friday and Jerry kept laughing."

So yeah, he was an interesting fella indeed. But I must say, I have actually never felt more comfortable getting my haircut. It's just him in there giving the cuts. There's only one other chair to sit in but the drawer was filled with Locks of Love envelopes instead of hair products. Afterwords he made sure we took a bunch of his fliers to put places cause apparently..."I give them out to all the college students and they don't put them anywhere cause I never get any phone calls, will you really hand them out for me?" I don't see why not.

Anyhow, I feel great and I think I look much better. I have officially left the "treehugger" behind again. Yee haw.
