Terrapin Tables

if only i had hair...

The main reason I grew my hair long was because haircuts are my least favorite way of dropping $10. I don't think bikinis are going to change that. If I wanted to look but not touch, well, that's why God invented strip clubs, porno, and Catholic high school recess.

I got a $40 fancypants San Franciscan haircut for Walt's wedding, and I honestly believe it to be one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. Of course, I played it as sloppy, which is hard to do with a $4 Haley Joel Osment cut from Great Clips.

So who's first to go bald? Nate's close, right? Chad, your brother Ryan lightening up yet?

I also hated paying for crappy haircuts, but instead of giving up and growing my hair long, I bought a set of clippers for $20 and then got Mike and others to cut my hair for years. I still do my own occasionally, but I found a nice quaint barber shop here that gives results I'm pleased with and willing to pay for. My hairline is in retreat so that when I go bald I'm going to have the a solid horseshoe of hair from ear to ear along the back.

I wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that somehow my crappy haircuts have made Roy lose his hair. His only solace should be that I too am losing my hair. I tried to let it grow a little longer (not McCreary long, that would just be lame), but it actually accentuated my receding hairline instead of covering it up. It won't be too long until I have to keep mine shorn close to avoid any hint of combover. Dammit we're old.
