After putting it off for over a month, I got a haircut today. It was long overdue, especially now with the weather getting warmer and warmer. For the past few weeks I have been forced to wear a hat while out in public, because the shaggy, unruly crop of hair I had growing made me look slightly homeless. My sideburns had been getting a little out of control, too. Between the two, aesthetically at least, I fit in quite well with the country folk who live in this town. Except I have all my teeth and don't smell like I just bathed in used motor oil and mayonnaise.
When my hair gets as long as it was today pre-haircut, it takes on some pretty strange formations while I'm sleeping. I can never re-create such masterpieces, but I suppose that not being able to reproduce the "Nick Nolte Mug Shot" look is a good thing. At any rate, after shuffling into the bathroom this morning, I was greeting by an unusually bizarre morning hairdo. I decided to take a few pictures: (removed)
I don't normally look so terrible, but I thought this would be good for a laugh. Let me remind you that this was five short minutes after waking up, having not showered or shaved yet. I had most of the day to wait until my appointment at the salon for my haircut, which passed by uneventfully.
My haircut appointment was at 2:30. It never takes very long, and true to form I was back in my truck and headed home before 2:45. I like the lady who cuts my hair, because she doesn't talk a lot and isn't all too much older than me. I tip her three dollars each time, because I'm a nice guy like that.
Here is what I looked like afterwards: (removed)
I look like a completely different person, don't I? And also much less funny to look at than the "before" picture. I kinda look like a pansy now, but I guess its better than looking like a serial killer. I should be due for another haircut in two months or so. My hair grows like a freakin' Chia Pet, I kid you not.
At least The Boss will be okay being seen with me in public now.

You are so right! You DO look like a homeless person in the first set of pictures! Maybe even a homeless junkie! I think it's also the shirt, black is more your color, and compliments you. Although I have this thing against men's facial hair. It's not as decorative as you guys think it is. =P
The Boss said that she'd never date anyone with facial hair, yet when we first started going out, I was working on a full beard's worth of growth.
Without facial hair, I look like I'm still in highschool.
