Yeah-Huh, Still Nuts

I am rubbing my hands together in glee, like old man Burns. "Eeeeexcellent"

Firstly let me state that I think that making the length of hair a religious tenet is, well, wrong. Borders on religious bondage. Kinda like burkhas. Length of hair is definitely not an indicator of righteousness. There are a lot of dope smoking hippies who are travelling the road to hell with long flowing tresses. But then also, if it gets the hair grown, well, who am I to condemn it. Ha.

Now JakJak would prove true to her calling, as my Arch Nemeses, and rain on my parade! How? By telling everyone that I didn't mean guys also. Oh, all right, I didn't even think about saying that, because, with me, well, that's a given and I forgot about the constraints of the medium. Now, certainly there is no "commandment" against men having long hair, but there are numerous admonitions against it. Paul says in the same passage that I quoted previously that nature itself has shone us that it is a shame for men to have long hair. I don't claim to understand this. But I agree with it. Why would a dude want to look like a chick? Rebellion. Everyone has to grow up sometime. Well, sort of. Okay, "Grow Out" of those childishly rebellious things. I saw this bumper sticker "Growing old is Inevitable. Growing Up Is Optional"

Now I get to play the complete hypocrite: I also like short hair. But not what you're thinking. I like really short hair, and yes I am talking about women. The kind that is just long enough to pin over with a barrette or a bobby pin or part down the side. I know, I know. "Yuuuuck!" Sorry, I just like it. But, not every girl can pull it off. Let me illustrate:
This is Elisabeth Gracen, she's an actress from a now defunct series. I always thought she pulled it off quite nicely, especially when she used to have hair all the way down her back (I tried to find that picture of her but failed miserably.) Maybe it was just the sword that she swung around every episode. Mentioning the sword, maybe that was why the series failed: the prop master did a lousy job. Note how the handle on her sword leans into her face, as apposed to staying true with the blade. Sorry. Tangent.

There was a woman locally, who was a little on the heavy side and she had long hair and she just looked awful. Now, I know, you're all in an uproar, but let me finish. She cut all her hair off, not as short as the picture above, and it made all the difference in the world. Nothing else changed, but it "cleaned" her up. Long hair was sacrificed for "cleanliness."

So, Ladies, you can sleep peacefully tonight. No matter how long your hair is, I don't think anymore or less of you: unless you do something so completely drastic with it that defies all logic, ergo, cutting off length for no reason, etc. etc.. I suppose the difference of my tastes can be summed up this way: Long hair is AWESOME, and short hair done tastefully, is cool. Oh, and I must add one final thought that I have been trying to communicate to Belle: braids on older women (any age over 18) are STILL cute. They DO NOT make you look like a child. They may make you feel like a child, but is that really such a bad thing?

Yup, Completely Nuts.

So herein lies the truth: I am a hair nut. Don't believe me? Just ask Belle. She'll knod her head vigorously and say "Uh-huh." What is the deffinition of a "hair nut"? A person who loves long hair. If you say, "I have long hair", and it might come to your shoulders: HA! Think again. "Oh, it comes to my shoulder blades" Ha! Not yet you don't. "Oh, it's to the small of my back." Ah, now we are getting closer. Hair is officially "long" when it can be tucked into your belt, like the dwarves' beards in The Hobbit.

Yes yes yes, all you ladies are rolling your eyes, and Jak is at this very moment saying "Oh, good grief" . (Yes, I am reading over your shoulder) No, hair is not long untill it is completely in your way. But we like it that way. Why? Because there is nothing entirely as awesome as long hair. However there is one caveat: it must be neat and clean. Nothing worse than dirty, ratty hair. The transformation from Glam Queen to Indigent Queen can be a very sudden and unexpected occurance. Also, I am willing to sacrifice length, for tidyness. Even though the locks might be clean, there is just something about scraggly ends that just seem to ruin everything. A nice clip-clip with a scissors every once in a while is a deffinite must.

"But it's such a hassel." I hear this often. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Good things take effort, and besides But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. That's 1st Corinthians 11:15 if you were wondering. And besides that, trying doing this with short hair:
Totally awesome, huh. And that's just the tip of the Iceberg! HuHah!
So, you have to check out this sight LongLocks it will tell you how to grow long hair and how to keep it long and then you have to go to The Braided Image . It's awesome! Bookmark them both. Oh, and please forgive the classical paintings. I didn't design the sight.

Tarred (as in "excessively tired")

Again, we see that the "process" is working. Arr. Ha.

J-Boy, thanks for the recommendation. I know this film, though I have never seen it. What I do remember, is when the director won the Oscar for it, he jumped on the seats and walked to the stage on the seat backs. It was very funny.

MackySu, so glad you posted again. I was going to say "Find out what it is and I'll see about checking it out myself. Does this mean that you have seen it? Was it Good?

So, anyway. I'm tired. I spent the day tearing rolled roofing off a garage and patching in 1x planking. The original builder was a farmer and it's really too bad that he did not have a wood allergy. Because it would have been awesome if his hand would have swollen up every time he picked up a hammer. At least for me. Pro'bly not so good for him. Yes, I whine when I get tired or sick. I KNOW. It's not very becoming.

Anyway, I would rather finish my unwinding lying down, and since I don't have a laptop, yet. I'm going to go do something else.
