Bzzzz

Shaving my head is something of a surreal experience.

I’m usually pretty far along in the hair-growing thing when I shave – so far along that my hair starts to feel like hair again, instead of fuzz.

When my hair is newly-shaved, it is an opting for efficiency and pragmatism over what would otherwise be a pointless attempt at making hair that was one lustrous and thick look good in its own version of middle age. I spend my time, instead, on carefully trimming up my beard – even sides, hand-cut graduation, kissable mustache, all of it.

Perhaps I’ve simply relocated my “fashion hair”. :D

Anyway, the point is that after I shave my head I feel more efficient and pragmatic. I hadn’t even left the house this morning before doing three things I’d intended to do for a week, and it seems to have lasted through the day thus far.

Anyone else have a ritual that affects their behavior like this?

  1. rearranging my posessions may count as a similar adventure for me. it’s like producing by hand a new environment to which i now must respond interactively, as i’m suddenly not all used to – maybe even bored with – it anymore.

  3. If my hair happens to be down for the day, I will absolutely put it up as soon as I need to start running around to get stuff down.

    Then again, if I’m not totally thrilled with my life and looking for a change, a big chunk of hair is almost always the first thing to go. That or a solid change of color.

    Hair is a big conduit for my emotions…

    On the other hand, I’ve been looking longingly at pictures of women with really short hair, and I’m in a pretty good place in my life right now.
