Boy won't you go and cut that hair….

Remember when you were a teenager and you did things to rebel against your parents? You might have dressed a little different, you might have done things you would not dare mention on a blog because they are totally reading it right now, and will be calling you on the phone to ask you what you did that they do not know about…..the phones ringing already, I am not answering it mom, call Jenn, she did much worse!  I was such a rebel back in the day, how so? I grew my hair long. Ohh yes, I was such a B.A.

The bad thing about long hair is, people judge you. My best friends dad totally hated me and disapproved of me hanging out with his son because I had long hair. He also blamed everything bad his son did on me, because I was a bad influence. The truth of the matter is, HE was the wild one, and I was the one trying to keep HIM out of trouble. As soon as I cut my hair, his dad totally approved of me, and now I was acceptable to hang out with him. Go figure. I grew it out one more time after that, and then cut it for my most recent job.

That was over 5 years ago. I have made attempts to grow it out, but always get very frustrated with it. There is an awkward period when growing your hair out. The phase when you just do not know what to do with it, as one person told me at work the last time I tried, she said it looked like a tupay. I cut it the next day. This time I have avoided such comments, and have remained strong during this process. It has almost passed its awkward stage and I am in the home stretch.

Like with any hair do, there are good days and bad days. I am looking for some good days. One time Amy said I looked like a movie star, who the heck doesn’t want to look like a movie star? That was like 7 years ago… I still hold that compliment in my top 5. Thanks Amy. Or you could call me Dwight Yokem (you got a lot a ground to make up for that one Danyelle). Where I am going with it I have no idea. I am trying to save a buck during these hard times. So I thought I would have some fun with it. So now that all the attention hogging politicians are done hording up the polls and blowing campaign money out their badunkas. It is my turn to get in on the action. So cast your vote! Be honest it is completely anonymous. (wink, wink) I can’t give you a sticker, and I can’t promise you that your vote matters, I may do the complete oposite of that you vote for, isn’t that was politicians do? But I promise there are no lines to wait in. Here are the two candidates up for election. One looks innocent, and one looks like trouble. You DECIDE!

Ohh and 10 points to whoever can guess the post title song title.

(you gotta) fight for your right to party

i really think that’s bizarre that anyone would think you look more subversive with long hair than short. not to mention judgmental, of course.

i’m afraid i’m going to end up on the mean girl side of this one, bruh. and speaking of girls, i’m not going to say you look like a teenage girl in that second photo. maybe i just did. sorry. i swear i won’t be the only one to think it. and i’ll try and make up for it with this: you are totally rockin the hot young dad look in the first picture, that will drive all the single ladies nuts when you take desmond to the park or the grocery store. but anyway, that was a fun cabin trip, wasn’t it?

Definetly agree with Kelly about the first pic – hot young dad look!

My favorite hair cut song is by Pavement, but that one’s all, “Darlin don’t you go and cut your hair”. So there’s that. I say let it grow. You know what’s really random? I THINK I still have a lock of your hair from when you cut it in high school. It’s in a box somewhere…

Sara is the big winner…..because i got the lyrics wrong, and she got the song right!!! so like 20 points or something! :) and really? u have a lock? that’s hilarious!

Seriously Greg? Is a poll needed?

I mean if you were planning on staying at home, in your underwear all day, eating fruit loops and playing guitar hero then I would say go with the long hair.

Plus Desmond might get confused who his Mommy is if your hair were long. ;-)

I cant vote cuz I am at work and work is mean. And blocks fun activities. My favorite hair style on you, is what you had when u got married. Its in between long and short. Also I was a good kid mom, I didnt start being bad till I was 18 and I did that in front of your face. So Dont listen to Greg.

I really think I have it here. I’ll hunt for it tonight and snap a pic. And YAY 20 points!

Now theres a dilema I struggle with daily! Long hair is more fun but too high maintenance. I’m trying to hang on until its long enough to donate to Locks of Love. Then again, one day I might get it all chopped off without giving anyone a heads up.

Go for long now because one day you might not have hair!

yes gerg, go for long, as you may need that bit of hair sara has some day. oh jenn, i am still on the meds, from when you were 18yrs
