I was reading Preston's post on needing inspiration when it occured to me that one of my biggest insprirations for growing my hair is seeing all these sheep going around with Buzz cuts.
I hate buzz cuts, I hate crew cuts, so those short hair styles
that I despise are my inspiration to keep my long hair long.
Buzzcuts = Sheep? Damn right.
Yeah, let me cut my hair so short that it shows every dent and knot in my ugly ass scalp. I like to tell those buzz-ards that longhair covers up a lot of ugly, and they could definitely benefit from it.
You have a way with words Paul but they certainly ring so true.When I go to my gym I can safely say I'm of the 2% of men there that has longhair. All the rest are either older men with MPB, not their fault of course, but then the young guys with these ugly shaven heads.I just don't get it but what's so "cool" about being bald?

ps: Oh,btw welcome back :)
Just remember that any of chose sheep can turn into a beautifully long maned wolf/lion after a while, eh? ;)
Hahaha.
Oh Raul you are the exception as we all know what happened with you was just a mistake.Anyway you have a beautiful scalp ;)Cheers my friend.

Don't know about beautiful, but it's slowly and steadily getting covered by hair! Not long before I can start spiking it agian, and will be back at where I was in Nov 2012 ;)
Hi Raul,
Come on buddy! You know that you look good with or without hair! But damn I hope you grow your hair to your waist my friend! Just hang in there man and you will be rewarded! You are definitely not a sheep:) Great day my friend!
Ted
Hehe... just messing around, bud! And the goal is still shoulderblade/midback ;)
Raul - I'm so glad your scalp has healed & your hair is growing back healthy & revitalised - as I've said before = you'd look good bald & in a hessian bag = hugs :))
'Twas a New Zealander longhair who once told me, "If you act like a sheep, you will end up shorn." And then he went on, "And we New Zealanders know our sheep!"

LOL, I love that quote, Bill, and remember you telling me that story when I was over at your house one time -- leave it to a New Zealander to say something like that!
And, speaking of sheep...
Yesterday at work I cooked a Leg of Lamb for the Sunday noon meal for the old folks. I marinated it in fresh-squeezed orange juice with shallots, fresh Rosemary, salt & pepper, and also some olive oil -- served with mashed Butternut Squash and roasted root vegetables w/ fresh chives & mint, YUM!!
If anyone tried to have me shorn, that's exactly what would happen to them: they'd be roasted in the oven and served up for dinner (LOL)!

Hmmmm. Am I a hypocrite because one of my professions is raising
sheep? I don't think I would have the sheep shorn except that we
shear them at the beginning of summer when the grass turns brown
and is full of stickers. If you don't shear them the wool gets
full of stickers (they look like porcupines) which irritates them.
Also once they are sheared all the ticks fall off. They are not
a true tick but a sheep tick known as keds, but they are also
detrimental to the sheep.
At any rate Ken, keep cooking the old folks Leg of Lamb!! ;-)
Hi there MG,
No, I don't think of you as a hypocrite -- analogies can often be imperfect examples, anyway. There's a big difference, for example, between sheep who can't take care of themselves on their own, and human beings who can! If I ran around naked all day (God forbid - LOL!), dragging my long hair through the brown grass full of thistles and weeds and stickers and ticks, eventually my hair would be so full of tangles and knots that I'd be BEGGING to be shorn!!
Maybe the problem is that sheep don't know how to tie their hair up in a bun, like I do (LOL)!
In any case... Let's have a nice Roast Leg of Lamb for dinner, and then talk about ANYthing other than shearing sheep for dessert! (LOL)

A truly wonderful witty quote. I have been to the wonderful country of New Zealand on 2 occasions and there's about 10 sheep per head of human population over there!
