Sad Day

Well, the time has come. As you might know I am in the Marriage and Family Therapy Masters Program at Harding University. I was told that my hair was not an issue and that my character spoke loud enough. I was also told that it was in the counseling room it was easier to obtain respect with a clean cut look. I took some time to think about it and they are right. It was a good time having dread locks but I think there is a time when you have to abide to societies rules and norms. It is a totally different feeling without dread locks and I have to admit I miss them a lot, but I know this will help me in the future and it is more socially acceptable.




This is what they looked like from the back. Don't they look so good?! I think they do. I never was able to see this side of them and maybe if I had I wouldn't have cut them.



Another view from behind. I think they look even better here. That is a lot of hair. Looking at this picture makes me realize that it was two years since I cut my hair. That's a long time to get use to long hair.



Sad Sad me.



The first dread is officially cut off and the trimming commences.




The back half is gone! :(



One dread left...



It's so sad I know. That is a hand full of hair!



36 dreads! I can't tell you enough how much hair that is... They are all lined up there with a side of buzzed hair so that my head looked some what uniformed.



And here it is... the final result. It feels really good but I do really miss my hair.



This is the look from behind and I have to admit I like it but like I said before I really miss my hair. One really good thing is that I was able to wear a hat for the first time in 8 months.

This was really hard to do and I have to thank my wife because I know it was hard for her but she gave me support and encouragement. She has worked so hard and helped me out so much in this new hair dew so I know it was hard for her to watch it all go. This is just a new chapter and I hope good things will come.

There is a lot more going on in our life from Cassandra's new job to my schooling to Steve to the great condo, but right now the biggest thing is the new hair cut.

P.S. I really do like wearing a hat.
