TOW .... The Haircut ( Part One)

So I shaved my head !

Yup . Pretty audacious thing to do , I must say .
You go there ( butcher ...eh..barber shop ) on a sunday morning ... your hands are shaking , u r biting ur nails , ur lips are quivering , u cant gulp ur own spit , ur not easy on ur knees , u start having second thoughts abt the decision : Do i do it ? Do i not do it ? Hey my hair aint tat bad now !! Will it ever grow ? will i get a job ? Ok girl friend is pretty much out of the question , rite ?!

And u cant ask ppl if u r doing the rite thing . Cuz ppl have opinions . They always do . Everyone always has smthn to say abt these matters . Everyone has a friend of a friend or a long lost relative who screwd up cuz he did wat u are abt to do .

So I dont make tat mistake and go there without asking or telling anyone abt my intentions .
And u've to sit in the waiting room . not much of room , more like an array of chairs with magazines thrown all over . And then u have to wait .cuz there is no other way . Its called the waiting room (or bench), tats wat u r supposed to do there ... wait !!

so u are there pretending that u are reading a mag , wen u are actually looking askance at everyone wondering if any of them ever thot of gettin the clean moon ! ur heart is racing like a V2 engine on full throttle , u r shittig bricks , and then he(barber) calls u . its ur turn .
the moment of truth has come .

And then u sit their on the throne , the guy puts a cape and everything around u to make sure u feel like a king , before he does the job .
And then wen u tell him what u want , he wants to be sure . u see its not everyday ppl come to him asking him to shave their heads off .

He wants to be sure . He asks u five times in six different languages with a lot of gesticulation , if he dint misconstrue wat u said .
Once he's done with tat , he has to know WHY ?
cuz ppl always have to know WHY ?
That's basic human characteristic , they dont care abt millions dyig of wars and aids and pollution ... but sure they JUST HAVE to KNOW , WHY some random guy they're never gonna meet again has decided to shave his head!

And thats where u know , that u'll have a lot of explaining to do .
So he sharpens his knife (or blade , watever!) , puts the damn thing on ur wettened(?) hair and zips ! OUCH !
And u gotta be pretty brave wen its happening . I'm tellin ya , dont open ur eyes !
U are half way thru the ceremony , u open ur eyes and look at ur new self in the mirror ... ur head looks like a battlefield : dead hair all around , not a blade of hair on the sides survived , spiked hair soldiers cuddled up in the middle jus abt to be annihilated ... it's pretty sad scene , plus u look like a british punk , and tats wen u go " Oh crap !! "

And then its all over .
The ppl around cant open their eyes cuz of all the reflected radiation from the head
Freedom .
Freedom from decision making .
U now have a clean shaven head .
U've joined the likes of Vin Diesel , Bruce-Willis(act also his ex Demi Moore !) , and other very sexy ppl !

And u feel .... u feel like GAWD !

(Gawd why did i do it !)
