Lethal Weapon

The problem is this: I keep hoping that if I grow out my hair a little longer, something will happen that will give it some style until I cut it off for spring and summer, as I love to have short hair during the summer weather. In the meantime, I am losing hope for my hair. It is most certainly not “feathered and dangerous” as in Dodgeball … heck it looks like a bird’s nest on top of my head (part of the reason for cutting it before the spring nesting season). So, here I am, trying to decide what to do when it looks a bit like Mel Gibson’s hair back in the day - not quite as long, but it certainly has the weird out of controlness behind the ears. Now, do not get me wrong, I am not saying I look like Mel Gibson - because that’s weird and not what I am striving for.

Hair comparisons yield surprising results.

80’s-popular was precisely not what I had in mind, either. So, the conundrum continues - to grow or cut. Spring approaches, and yet my hair will be long again by the time I get a chance to enjoy any warm outdoor weather. Because of this, it would make the most sense for me to continue dead-cell length build-up on the top of my head until the weather begins to get warm (late March). My current plan (liable to change soon) is to grow for longer (as in more time and more length), and to see what happens. Who knows, perhaps one day I will wake up to a real hair style - but the chances of that are about as good as me and a dog in a three legged race against the US Olympic track team.

Taking bets now.

Cut your hair and die

I might have to cut it and not tell you. I don’t want to die.
