Just a little off the top

I hate having too much hair.  This won't ever be a problem when bad genetics along with stress from the bar cause me to go bald in 5 (hopefully I have that long) years.  But while I still do have hair it drives me crazy when it's too long.  So was the case  Wednesday I was driving home feeling my hair and yearning for a haircut.  I didn't want to spend any money on a barber so when I got home I grabbed my roommates haircut kit and started buzzing hair off.  It looked a bit uneven so I went a bit shorter and this is what resulted:

So it's a bit short.  But it feels great to touch.  I've been rubbing my head for the last two days like a teenager who stumbled upon his dad's dirty magazine collection.  And I'm so much cooler too, I was walking round the bar today and those ceiling fans kept my scalp at a cool comfortable temperature!  I understand it's not the best look in the world for me but it keeps me cool, it's easy to maintain and no one can tell that when I'm late for a meeting its cause I just woke up.

Course I'm picking up the woman from the airport today, she'll look suprised - the kind of suprised look that says, "I can't believe you did that it looks terrible but I kinda love you so I'll tolerate it and hope it grows back quick."  She's been with me too long to leave me because I became goofy looking.  That's how I got away with growing a goatee.  That's also how she's going to get away with getting fat in a few years.  She'll give me that lame "I'm gaining weight cause I'm pregnant" line but by that point we'll have been together long enough I'm beyond caring and I'll start stashing dirty magazines in my closet, which my kid will find years later.  It's a the natural way of life, all things come full circle.

Strangest thing of the week I've seen so far

It's like some big liberal metaphor - a big, slow inefficient piece of equipemnt that requires way too many people to function, but that you can feel good about because you're working together with a bunch of people who aren't in a hurry to get shit done.  And it's green!

And finally I saw this video on TV and had to share

Ah kittens...
