Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback, sorry I didn't get chance to respond, I went to the DaliLama for advice and guess what he what? he was bald as well!
Well I am still in the same hairy position I was several months ago..with one big difference. I'm going to do it! Not because I'm brave or anything, but because my system has ripped and I'm not going to get another one.
I'll be honest, I'm freaked out about doing it, I thought I would get in shape first, well that's a load of crap, I think I gained 2 pounds. So .....Monday is the big day!
Going to call some friends over the weekend and tell them, then going to tan (moderation) my head, maybe look for a cool hat, and I'm going John Stathem style. I'm prepared to hate it for 30 days, (maybe weep) I think maybe it will motivate me enough to get my fat butt in shape. I don't know why but I have this mindset that if you're going to be buzzed (shaved) you should be tan and somewhat in shape. It's my warped way of thinking, but it may in the long run get me healthier (does that make sense?)
LOL...I'm wigged out by this! Sorry, I start to get corny when I get nervous, I am like Chandler Bing on crack. (friends)
I have read your replies, I appreciate it very much
This is what I think I have learned..
-I'm going to hate it for at least 30 days
-If I hate it that much I can always go back to the bare skin (well you know what I mean - rug)
-I expect to get some razzing and strange looks from friends or acquaintances . I'll deal with it
-After awhile it won't even be a topic or an issue with them.
-I need to own it! and be cool with it.
-I need to find a woman that likes to rub bald/buzzed heads
-I can use it as motivation to change my style to "bald/buzzed" style - I need a makeover anyway
-I will love the freedom, and will SAVE money.
The truth is I also expect to look older, for me that's a biggie. I'm to immature to look 5 yeas older! BUT, I am going to own it, and I thank everyone here for your words.
I will post a before and after pic once the deed is done (and when I calm down or get sober)
I really am freaking out...sorry to ramble, this is almost like therapy for me to vent.
Thanks guys...
Mike
