new thread
I am 17, a few years ago I started wondering why I went to cut my hair every two weeks and why I had that style for so long, I didn't like it or choose it. My dad just told the barber to cut my hair like that and I went and got it cut the same way again and again and again.
Then I thought, I want something different. So I chose to bee a skin-head, now I want to be a long hair. But with every time I get the same responses, like: why is your hair so short ? now it's: You are going to have your hair as long as girls hair ?
Over and over again I get the same repsonses from different people, why do they all have the same Idea about the "right" way hair should be. It's not like they sat down and actually thought that it looks better or that its more practical or whatever. They are just doing what everybody else is doing, and rejecting people that want to do stuff differently.
The more negative responses I get, the more proud I am for not following the herd, and for standing up for what I see is best for me.
Be proud, you are a longhair.

Following the herd.I call 'em the cookie cutter crowd.They all look alike.It's like old pics where there is a crowd of men and they are all wearing the same hat.Even in the late 60's long hair was still not real common.Specially hair longer than shoulder length.I didn't really think about my hair much until the family moved from Texas to California in 1966.We hadn't been there two days when I saw this guy walking down hiway 101 wearing a green robe with mid back dark red hair.I thought I'd seen God or Jesus.I'd seen the light.Nothing's been the same since.

Wow, that's inspiring. I wish I saw guys with hair THAT long over here, I guess they are all just scared of being called gay. Because they know that will happen, the longest hair I've seen on a guy is shoulder length. I hope noone beats me to waist-long hair :D. I don't give a **** if people judge me from the length of my hair because if it's not my hair it's going to be anything else (the way I walk, talk eat or laugh, my clothes or just anything else).

You said over here.I didn't know where over here was so I checked your blog.That's another world to me,might as well be Mars.I would be curious to see what kind of reaction that guy in the green robe would get there.I can't imagine living somewhere with such history.Here in the US people think a building 200 years old is ancient.I know in Europe there are people living in houses a 1000 years old.We just don't have anything like that here.I have seen the pyramids in Mexico.I don't think I'll ever see the ones where you are.Nice blog by the way.This is probably one of the greatest things about the internet.Not counting your age,20 years ago this conversation wouldn't have happened.
Peace to you

Hey, Arrick
Sorry for taking so long to respond. My internet disconnected at home and doesn't seem to want to connect again. Lol.
The guys in the green robe would probably be chased in the street and get called madman, lol. Tourists get a free pass to be weird in Egypt :D. I manage to pass as one because of my American mom, which is something I'm grateful for.
The history I see here somethimes hypnotizes me, I can just stand in the street looking at an old building for 10-15 minutes before I can remember what I was doing or where I was going. I'm too connected to Egypt, even though I hate mostly everything about it, Lol.

I call them the Do-Bots. They seem like robots doing the exact same thing over and over and over and over.
Well, I won´t talk bad about shorthairs. If you ask me, we are just as bad as those talking bad about us if we do that. We all choose what we want, no one deserves any resentment or trashtalk from another. :)
