I made an appointment and cut it all off this morning. Had her do a #3 around the back and the sides and kept a little top length. I officially LOOK Imperialist just like all the rest of em' out there! The sad part is that there was a "person" here the whole time. The world has discriminating eyes and if I had a nickel for every time someone looked at my hair and not my resume I'd own one of every airgun known to man and it's that simple!
Did I do this to comform? No. Did I do it for respect? No.
I have simply udjusted to an otherwise, discriminating society.
Glad to be one of the herd again! Just don't go thinking this rebel thinks any differently.
-
Matt,,now you can understand why I am bald!!!LOL! :p Honestly I can understand your feelings toward the discriminating looks you were getting, I sometimes get that because of how I speak/sound,especially when I moved out to Long Island! :emoticon:
-
Well Joe-Joe that's just the quality of society we live in. Superficial, isn't it?

I cut my long hair about 8 years ago and never looked back. My wife often laments the loss but, oh well, short hair is so much easier to maintain, and wash, and comb, and cut.
I did not notice a difference in the way I was treated, but I went from 18 inch long curly hair to shaved bald. People still looked down on me because of the way I look. Even earlier this year I had a 6 inch goatee with shaved head and people still look at me weird.

Martin,I hear ya with being looked at on the whacky side,I still get looked at as if I am a few sandwiches of a picnic,maybe I am but I think only two!! :)
-
I got short hair, what's left of it. I get this old guy to do a free hand Flat Top when it needs it. Still looks cool, and says something.
All I know is that with the flat Top I got that pilot better being aiming for the middle, cause the sides are missing.
-
Wow Matt! I have to confess that I'm a little disappointed. Besides, I have always had a thing for guys with long hair. I guess it will take you less time to take care of in the morning. :D
-
Joe-Joe, you are just a couple of sandwiches, and maybe a few condiments shy.......... 8)
-
Peak, I've got three braids in my collection now! One's a foot and half long, the other is 10 inches long and this one's about a foot long. I'm one of those guys that have been blessed with zero hair loss. It'll grow back! I mean, come the NTAGM shoot in 2011 I'll be right back where I started!
Thanks though for your kind words. It's usually the ladies that notice such things!

Stephanie, I'm not gonna argue with you about the condiments,, :o I will say that after all this time, I thought it was BALD HEADED ITALIANS FROM N.Y. that got your heart throbbing!!! :D
-
Matt, we ought to have a picture...
Those of us who know you expect no major change. Heck, you still wear the saffron robes and the buffalo sandals, don't you?
On a recumbent bike, you will still be almost as distinctive as before. ;-)
-
Oh Jerry, I'm no Hare Krishna... it's MY BOSS that runs around around in the saffron robe and Buffalo sandals! I get a steady paycheck out of it so I tolerate him for the most part. I'll see if I can't get a picture up at some point today. It may have to wait til I get home. I know that some folks freak out after they get as much hair cut off as I did but I'm quite comfortable with it. I'm not on tour anymore, I don't have a million chicks to impress in the next town and the next and the next. My ego has tamed down considerably since that 1992 tour and I wouldn't have it any other way. No record deal- no need to keep the hair. I have my own office today!
-
I knew that, Matt - just ribbing you. I didn't know about the 92 tour, but I know you can play and sing pretty well.
Are you planning on coming to FW on the 18th?
-
Hair??, I remember hair......

I get alot of looks from people too, I totally understand. Sometimes it's tough being so darned handsome like me, but well, someone has to be handsome:)
