how did nobody say anything to me about the rug????
« on: November 17, 2010, 09:46:28 AM »
I thought that I had deleted all images of me with a rug but then found a whole file on my computer. How people let me go on looking like I had a dead raccoon on my head is beyond me. Just look at this:

Actually, I don't think it looks too "ruggish" in that picture. Looks much better now without the bad hair and I have to imagine you're healthier mentally. Wearing a rug would totally stress me out.  No thanks!

Good for you, Jack.

You look like a badass now vs. some random dude with hair.
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the Past better than it was,
the Present worse than it is & the future less resolved than it will be.

Well, I guess it looks a lot more fake to me than to other people. In any event it was so horribly itchy, uncomfortable, and restricted virtually every aspect of my life - exercise, showering, sleeping. It also had me fiddling with my "hair" in the mirror for probably 2 hours a day. Now I spend about 2 minutes a day looking in the mirror - or however long it takes to shave (never longer than 10 minutes). I used to wonder whether I was vain or just very insecure. I'm pretty sure I have my answer now.

I've certainly seen worse rugs, but you look SO much better sly. Congrats again!

It doesn't look that bad to be honest, I think you look a lot better shaved though.

Having a rug would make me a little paranoid as well, just imagine all the things that could go bad, a gust of wind, having to bend over to tie your shoe, jumping, swimming, pulling a sweater over your head, etc.

The truth is, we spend a lot of time worrying about what others think of us when in reality, they're so worried about what you think of them, they're not paying much attention to you!   O:O

Seriously, think about it.  Then be free to be yourself!  O0

Now you can be vain trying to keep it perfectly slick... and you'll still save time over your 'rug' days.

One of the great benefits that I have yet to mention is the extra HOUR of sleep I get every night. I used to wake up at 5:45 and spend an hour on my "hair". Now I wake up at 6:45, spend 10 seconds splashing some water on my face and am then out the door.

I got to say, you look pretty cool without the rug. And you seem more confident as well.

I never used a rug myself but I always tried to perfectly comb the little hair I had and that was time consuming and “mind consuming”.

To be free to do exercise as and when i want, to let my girlfriend put her hand in my head as she wishes, not needing to look in the mirror every 5 minutes to see if the hair is alright, not needing to desperately try to comb every little hair on my head , is ABSOLUTELY LIBERATING!

Yeah...not the worst rug out there....but I really do think you look better sly. Combine that with the freedom you have now and there is no doubt about the better choice.
