Best Month Ever: Day 7
Day 7 has just hit 12:21pm and if it weren't for a buzz happy barber, this entry wouldn't have even been thought about until sometime tomorrow. But as it were...
How, you say, can my ears seem any bigger? Easy. BUZZCUT MY ENTIRE HEAD!
About an hour ago I walked into the local barber shoppe(shoh pee) and took a seat next to the three men who had, from the looks of it, been waiting all morning for a haircut. I didn't even get a chance to pop the top on my sugar free Red Bull when the spanisher of the two barbers asked if I wanted a haircut. The others were all waiting on the balder of the two barbers so, guilt free, I skipped ahead and onto the chair.
"What do you like me to do today?" he said.
"Um, uh, just go shorter, but not so much shorter that my head seems shaved."
"buh? he said.
"Cut the hair (I made a circular motion above my head) up here shorter and go a bit shorter on the sides. But I don't want it to look shaved."
"And the front you want longer?" he said.
"No. That's okay. It always curls up on me and then I'm like (I pretend to supress the curls near the front of my face) or like (I pretend to push the curls back towards the rear of my head)."
"Ah(he chuckles)," he said.
Ten seconds later....Woosh. A razor, I'm guessing at a number 2 clip, shoots right back from the top of my forehead to the base of my spine. I would link you to a picture of "Hawk"(R.I.P) from the Legion of Doom(AKA: Road Warriors), but I'm to lazy. Needless to say, for those who can picture it, I looked just like that. It was not, as they say, a rush.
But, questioning everything I might've said to the barber, I let him finish(the entire time debating whether or not I had instructed him to remove all signs of hair). Plus, what was I going to say after the middle strip of my scalp was removed? To top it off I still tipped him the usual, or MY usual, and left him none the wiser.
Anyway, it'll grow back. It's not THAT bad. But still, I feel like Tom Cruise in "Minority Report" or worse..Pauly Shore in "In the Army Now". The real bitch of it is that I was always saving my first head shaving for if and when a family member got cancer. I've always admired people who do that. It's um, supportive....or something. ¶ 9:21 AM

I have the same problem with haircuts. Even if I hate it and it's nothing like what I tried to describe to them, I can't even remotely indicate to the person that I didn't like the haircut. Usually, they are still holding the scissors and/or have my glasses hostage, so it is probably better for me to shut it.

No...no.
I was on a mini-vaca and have to catch up with this.
I'll probably blur a few days to save time...but the good stuff, what there is of it, will be there for all to read.
