Hair Watch 2005

By Tom Chambers • 3:59 a.m. March 2, 2005 • 6 Comments • 0 Trackbacks

So for the past seven months I’ve been letting my hair grow. I’ve been told it looks better than the completely buzzed style I wore for about 15 years.

I disagree. I hate my hair, and apparently only one two of my friends agrees. You might recall that on my list of 100 things to do before I die is to allow my hair to grow to my shoulders. No better time than the present, I guess — I just wish it would lay down. It’s driving me crazy, and whenever I see it I want to shave it all off.

Hair Watch 2005I’ve resolved myself to accepting the whacky, Einstein-like quality of my rug, and lately I’ve used very little product to keep it at bay. But I’m losing my patience.

Here’s a pic from last night at The Telescope. Granted, I look like crap, when Donnie took the pic on his camera phone, I had been there for a while after working on deadline. But here’s the hair — what do you think?

I’ll also drop in an old pic, so you can compare.

Oh Baby!Seems like a petty topic, but for someone who likes to look at himself each time there’s a hint of a reflection, it’s not so petty.

Should it stay, or should it go?

Tommy, I think it should go. I’m all for the ’100 things to do before I die’ list, but uh, maybe we can make an exception on this one.

Tom at 1:34 p.m. March 4, 2005:

I agree… it’s gone.

Donnie at 3:48 p.m. March 4, 2005:

Tom NO!!!! You have come this far. In 10-12 months it will start to lay down! Possibly.

Andrew Phelps at 8:39 p.m. March 4, 2005:

Tom,

I completely disagree. I think you are more handsome than ever before with long hair. You have to learn to manage it. Visitors to your site can’t fairly make a decision based on that terrible photo…

Tom at 9:35 p.m. March 4, 2005:

You guys crack me up. Hmmm, let’s see, two men say keep it and a woman says cut it off — not just any woman, mind you, but the one I’ve offered to marry on numerous occasions.

What’s more, I like the way I look better without it. I was letting it grow because of what OTHER people said (and because of my 100 things list). Forget that. Ayn Rand would tell me get the clippers — in fact, she would probably get them for me.

Also, when I said it’s gone, what I meant was… it’s already gone. Shaved it off this morning.

And Andrew, why are ripping Donnie’s photography?

I’m too late to weigh in on the discussion, so I’ll just leave you wondering about my opinion.(mwahaha) I will, however, completely change topics by saying that I saw several issues of the Telescope today.
