So.. anyway.. that last post was pretty dark.. and sad.. and was just a tough time.. BUUUUUTT.. life goes on.. I figured I would share a bit of levity with you.. my people..
A new year has come.. and sometimes that is a time for change.. not hope and change.. cuz well.. anyway.. but change nonetheless... I had a fairly long and very gray beard.. so I cut it off.. then I felt it made my face look ... well.. not complete.. so I decided to do what I do every 7 or 8 months and hack off all of my hair. There is a place I usually go to (and I had a coupon) so I headed that way with my daughters in tow. We walked in and the place was packed!! There were 14 people in line ahead of me to get cut.. I looked at my daughters and we all agreed on "F-THAT!".. so we left.. Then I saw across the street a Sports Clips.. I had heard the commercials.. watching sports.. hot chicks with great "personalities" cutting your hair.. I started driving over there with images of a buxom 20 something massaging and shampooing my head while leaning over me.. saying something in a sultry purr.. I was STOKED!! (Yes.. I brought it back).. We go in.. the line isnt quite as long.. I see a couple of semi-attractive ladies working it.. I pushed forward.. I signed up.. sat down and started watching the Oregon - Wisconsin Bowl game.. I was happy..
Then I heard my name being called... I stood up.. headed towards the stalls.. and met my "stylist".. It was Jerry... the extremely flamboyant Filipino MALE... I was gobsmacked.. but.. I pushed through.. sad and dejected that I was not to have young boobs on my face.. but. I needed the hair cut.. Jerry sat me down and asked what I wanted.. I told him and we started talking.. He told me I get to have the MVP treatment for the price of the Varsity.. due to it being my "first time".. Oy... So.. Jerry hacked off a bunch of my hair.. then put some product in my hair and made a very tall mohawk. He yelled to the waiting room asking my daughters opinion... My 10 yr old mouthed "NO!" and my 16 yr old.. just laughed at the awkwardness.. I chuckled and then it was time for my shampoo.. We went back to the back.. I sat on the sink chair. (it was a massage chair BTW.. nice... and then Jerry steamed a towel and put it over my face.. he started shampooing my hair and massaging it in.. (including my temples) Man.. it wasnt what I expected.. or really wanted.. but dammit.. that man had magic fingers!!!! I will give the talented twink that much..
So... hair washed.. we headed back to the chair for more cutting.. He snipped and hacked with his hands a blurrin'... and finished.. I then got the shoulder and neck massage that came with the package and then he started styling it.. and I will be damned if I didnt get probably the best hair cut I have ever had.. So... lecherous hopes dashed aside.. it ended up all good.. I got a card from him and will probably have the little dude cut my hair again.. Magic frakkin fingers, I tell ya..
