Keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.

Well, after 20 years it comes to this. Tomorrow, probably around 6:00, my hair will be gone and I will be officially sporting the "Ed Harris" hairstyle. I have been bracing myself for this all week by abandoning my hat, and wearing my "hair" in a ponytail. Just trying to get a feel for the look and everything.

My last actual "haircut" of any significance, by the way, was back in...I think 1985.

I know the hair isn't everything, but this is a pretty HUGE and painful thing to finally have to do.

The war is over, and God won...again. He doesn't play fair, by the way. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Good on ya, Carl. You know it makes sense.

Yeah. And where did your avatar go? You know, the one showing your lovely stubbly 'do? [img]wink.gif[/img] Just having a bit of fun. You and Lycan are aigns to me that you can have shorties and still be "Glam".

Though I find myself listening to more "Punk" styles as of late, for some odd reason...

"aigns" is actually a secret code word for "signs" that is only known by us balding men, BTW.

WE WILL OVERTAKE THE WORLD AND FORCE THE "HAIRY-ONES" TO CONSUME GALLONS UPON GALLONS OF ROGAINE AS A NIGHTCAP!!!

I got sick of seeing my pic, so I took it down.

But I do get people looking at me at gigs or clubs, like I don't belong there. Sometimes I feel out of place, nowadays.

Carl, I feel for ya. That's gotta be hard. BTW, I'm also proof that a "shorty" can be glam, as I sit here in my Revlon Red shirt. Good Luck with everything. Boy are you gonna look weird to the folks that know you well.

Hey Carl, gotta know, which hair are they gonna remove, again? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The only one left, ya smart ass.

Hey Carl...I'll cut my hair for ya...LOL

nah actually...I may get a short haircut myself...Just getting tired of this long hair.

Carl I'm guessing it has been about 8 or 9 years since I cut my hair short.I haven't regretted it once.I was a little hessitant initially but once it was gone,I was like "What took so long?" I still have a "Hot Pink" ponytail around somewhere.lol It will look better on you IMO.
Ashliegh

It is a big decision f'sure, I had my locks hacked quite a few years ago now and I gotta say it's just so much less hassle, now I just roll outta bed and my hairs pretty much done, just a spikey mess! lol!

You'll wonder what all the build up was for when those scissors stop snippin' bro.

You're not having some cancerous lung extacted.
Get over it. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Nobody who really matters really cares anyway.

D.

Oddly enough though, the biggest part of the choice to cut though (aside from looking silly with a shiney head and long hair everywhere else, kind of like the ultimate mullet, or Gallaghers Glammy brother) is that what hair I do have will be going for a wig to a kid with cancer. That makes it real easy to do, actually.

And I know nobody cares, and I know I will look better, but man, it's just been soooo long, and I do truely love long hair. But I am actually looking forward to this a bit! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Carl,you'll do fine. I know it's a big deal for guys and I can understand your trepidation,but as Darren said,no one who really cares about you will care. It's you that cares though and I know before long it will all be good [img]smile.gif[/img] Have a good day. I think it's great what you are doing with the old hair btw. Some one else needs it more. A very cathartic way to say goodbye to another one of lifes unnecessary vanities.

That's cool that you're donating it.


But don't ya think you're more needy of that wig? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

HEY CARL MY BRO, IF YA DECIDE TO GO IN THE KEVIN DUBROW'S WAY SOMEDAY, I'LL DONATE HAPPILY THE HALF OF MINE!!!! YA WILL NOTE HOW DO I LOVE YA TO SACRIFY IT!!!!

Yer funny Sin. Ha. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Marky, with that head of hair you have there, it looks like you could create a nation of little Kevin Dubrows if you chose to!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

It's an emancipatory experience, Carl, trust me.

You'll actually become more accustomed to it
sooner than you think; this is a defensive
mechanism. And once you finally accept that you
were never really happy wearing 'that stupid hat'
all the time, and may exactly start resenting
yourself for not doing anything about it sooner
(Freud would probably call this latent resentment
or some other bollox).

And besides, you were never that sexy in the
first place anyway [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img]

D.

it's about time you freak!

only kidding, i like my hair much better now then when it was long. a little wax and you are good to go, looks even better the next morning and plus it only takes one box of dye now instead of two.


thats very nice of you to donate it. another friend of mine did that with her hair too a few years ago. very classy act.

But of course, there are always options.

Aside from joining some psycho-cyber-sputnik
outfit where neon wigs are de rigueur, you
could always get an expensive weave-transplant
contraption, although I think that some celebs
have better weaves than others.

E.g., you simply wouldn't know that Jimmy White
(UK snooker player) had had any work done.
Seriously. Whoever's responsible for that, is
a fucking genious.

Gary Numan, on the other hand, is different
matter. There is always something incongruous
about his fringe - it sort of looks a bit too
asymetrical for its own good. Overly wonky.

Male hairloss is normally attributable
to testosterone, of course. Now, supposing you
(Carl) were told that, by having 'the snip' during
your teenage years you would effectively avert
baldness, testicular cancer etc., although, the
chances of reversing the operation once you
felt ready to have children (and too old to care
about your hair) are (I think) 70/80%, would
you have it done.

Me, I say yes. Partial baldness is genetically
guarenteed for me, but meeting some poor women
who's eager enough to mother my children ain't -
not be a long way, not if the last two doom-
infested relationships are anything to go by.

Carl...it ain't nothing chopping the hair off.

After I had long hair down to my waist for like 5yrs...it ws just too much hassle and lots of time to keep it healthy. One day I got outta the shower was putting conditioner...and I though...What the FRICK....grabbed some scissors and cut my own hair off...haha. Man...what a relief it was.
So, It's no big deal man...just chop that hair off and believe me it'll be all good.
Though be sure to have someone hold your head up, cuz due to the waight of the hair...after chopping your head is so light ya neck can't hold it up...LMFAO!!!

<font size="3" face="Arial">The loss of the length is nothing man. It is all the pain of realizing that I really have no options of what to do with the stuff. My wife sat there going to websites trying to find a nice new 'do for me. I had to explain to her that there is no real choice in styles. I have a choice of long donut, short donut, super short donut, or no donut at all. I am going with the short donut, ala Ed Harris. I can't do the full bald thing, as I don't play basketball and I don't like Nu Metal. You are one of the lucky folk Raggz that looks like you will be able to do the long, cut it off into a cool style, then grow it back later. I don't have that option. This move today is the permanent move. It's scary, but I also look forward to showers taking less than 5 minutes (when I am alone...ahem), Not having to hold my hair when I drive with the windows open, not having to worry about my hat blowing away on a windy day (I do go to Chicago numerous times during the summer), and many other advantages. I don't look forward to it as it has been with me my whole life, and if it wasn't for God and his choice in how he plans to make me humble, I would never cut it off.

Darren, I would never pay for my hair. I love hair, but I also love movies, music, models, sculpting (trying to do it again), toys, food, my car, gas for my car, my house, stuff for my kids, etc., etc. etc. I have seen the prices for professional hair, and for transplanting the hair off my ass onto my head, and I would have to sacrifice everything else that might cost money.

It's all cool though, I am actually looking a bit forward to this! Buying me a new pair of Chuck Taylors to go along with it tonight also, BTW. Red ones to match my sons! LOL!!! Though his are REAL tiny.

<font size="3" face="Arial">Show-off.

LOL! I have thought about the Rogaine aspect, but that is a life long commitment. Hell, I have a hard enough time having to deal with blood pressure meds everyday for the rest of my life! If something that is designed to keep me alive and in good health is a pain to take, something strictly for vanity is a defintite "no no" for me! LOL!!!

I think ROGAINE should of been called NOBRAIN...cuz people who think that shit actually works is coocoo-headed...hahaha.

When it first hit the market in non-prescription 10 years ago, I gave it a whirl for a few months. Nothing happened, so I gave up. My Pop-In-Law is a pharmacist, so I got a little discount on it. [img]cool.gif[/img]

Welp, in about 10 minutes I leave work, go out to dinner, and then kiss it goodbye. *sigh*

Sorry to be so self-obsessed these past 24 hours, but it is really hard to believe I am finally doing this. Ach, the stuff is so scraggly looking nowdays, it is for it's own good, really.

Well, take care all. Wish me luck. Not that any of you will ever know the difference! LOL!!! Though, maybe this will take away all my powers. Who knows?

Now taking bets on whether or not he'll keep a lock of hair, perfumed and wrapped in a ribbon. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

hey wait! my hair is pretty much down to my ass and i want to cut HALF of it off (it will still be halfway down my back) would you like it so you can weave it in?

am i too late in asking? [img]wink.gif[/img]

*our hero, jumping to Carl's rescue, shaves Raggz's hair into a mullet and brings the hair, with a jar of rubber cement, to Carl.*

Now, I know that you might be hesitant for this, but you can either go with the glued on approach or I also have a can of Ron Popeill's (sp?) spray on hair. The infomercial looked interesting. haha

Good luck with the haircut, bro'.

I like the Ronco spray stuff! That is a fine product for sure! It looks so damn real! And if you go swimming you can always play Attack Of The Giant Sea Squid!!!

Carl,
Ya can always put Rogiane on your eyebrows and just comb them up to the top of your head. [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="3" face="Arial">Too late. Donald Trump already patented that hairstyle. :lol:

LMFAO!!!...That has to be the worst haircomb-over I've seen.
You would think, him being that rich...would do something that would not make him look like he's wearing Daniel Boone's Coon-Cap.

With the Don, it looks as if a cow licked his hair from back to front. (cowlick?) We won't let that happen to our friend Carl. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
