Took the Leap
« on: July 17, 2008, 03:19:36 PM »
I'm a 32 yr old EMT and educator and I had been debating the big leap to the sly world for quite a few years.  Two weeks ago, I finally did it!  Other than the standard OMG and WTF questions, the overwhelming response has been very positive.  I was at first really freaking out right after the first shave and really anxious about running in to friends for the first time.  However, after all the positive kudos, I am really glad I did it.  I'm also totally stoked at finding this sight.  Now lets just se if I can figure out how to find my way around it!

Welcome Steve.  When you can, post up a pic of your Sly self.

Welcome Steve,

Congrats on taking the plunge.

I will definitely get a pic posted asap.  Unfortunately the few i have so far are the ones I tried to take myself--which have me pushing the cheese factor a bit much even for me lol.

Psychology is overrated anyway.  Wy should I pay good money to be told I'm nuts.  I prefer my own therapy, thank you very much. 

Oh, and I'm totally digging the GA Sly tag.  Is that real or a photoshop?  As a fellow Ga boy, I'm impressed!

You can get one at imagechef.com I think.  A lot of the guys have one.  What part of GA you from?
