Good Bye, Mullet...

Some love affairs never last. Such was mine with the mullet. I really don't know why. It was the perfect hair cut. It was easy to take care of but still had a lot of personality. My favorite part: shaking my head very quickly so the mullet would caress my neck. It was like a friend that was always there.

And I got several comments at work about it, and surprisingly most were positive. A very matronly woman at work complemented it, saying it was like her anime-loving son's haircut. Another coworker said it fit my personality.

But alas, there were problems with the hair cut. First, I felt embarrassed to go outside. I don't know why. I mean, I was rockin' a mullet. What could have gone wrong? Plus, I even made a mullet-laden pilgrimage to Wal-Mart and bought cleaning supplies for my house. But I let the world get to me. I let what "The Man" thinks get to me. So Last Saturday, after only six days of a mullet, I had a roommate give me a hair cut. He did a good job. I am attaching pictures of the new "professional" (give me a break) haircut to this post. I hope you enjoy.

RIP Chad's Mullet: November 1, 2009 - November 7, 2009. We're richer for having known and lost you.

Note: I actually like my new haircut a lot and want to get it cut like this in the future. I will give you more pictures later...

The Mullet Chronicles, Part I

This morning I awoke and decided that the beard and I had to part ways. In its place I decided to add another friend: Mr. Mullet. Yup, one checked out but another checked in.

Please observe the following picture:

There are two things I like about this picture. First, you can see both the business in the front AND the party in the back. This was truly a work of beauty and a labor of love.

There are several things I like about my mullet. First, I don't have to do anything to it. I just wash it and then I'm done. I let the party take care of itself. Second, I have something in the back to play with. Third, and most of all, I like to let it swish around the back of my neck. It's like all the benefits of long hair without the hassle.

People at church laughed as they were right to do so. But I think they also appreciated my honesty to myself and the fact that I really am dedicated to it. I'm proud of who I am.

Moses! Moses! I mean, Charlton Heston as Moses!

So, I thought I would give y'all a taste of what Moses looked like. I mean Charlton Heston as Moses. People tugged on the beard to see if it was real. And it was real. So, here's to three months of hard work:

You had to have the tablets of the commandments to really understand what it was. And people got it and thought it was funny. The only down side to the costume: the thong notch was killing me. I gotta get better sandals next time.

Goals. Life Goals.

I've got goals in life. Big Goals. Awesome Goals. Amazing goals.

My next goal: A super, fantastic, flowingly beautiful mullet.

Yup. You heard me. A mullet. A business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back mullet. The calm before the storm.

I got this brilliant idea today when I realized how liberating, how refreshing, how beautiful it is to have long locks of luxurious hair caressing your neck. Now, you may ask, whence the mullet? It hit me. My awesomeness would triple, yes, triple by having a mullet. It puts me in a whole new social class. Really, it does.

And so, I think I know what I'll say to the hairstylist (probably one of my roommates). "Mullet me." It's like when women go to their hairstylist and say: "Aniston me." The only thing to do is choose a style and make the commitment. For after Halloween (I still have big plans for my hair-it's part of my costume). For at least a full week.

So to commence this, please read the following material from this website. For your convenience, I've reproduced the most important paragraph:

Wait for your hair to grow. At first, your mullet will be childish and weak. Visualize your mullet the way you'd like it to be, flowing and beautiful. Now, picture your mullet challenging Rod Stewart's to a duel. Daily exercises like this one will help your mullet develop the confidence it needs to flourish.

Any feedback is encouraged.

Let it All (Grow) Out

So, I thought you would like. Nay. Need an update on my beard. I have kept it and embraced it. I did want to get rid of it for a while, but then I realized that Halloween was coming up. And a beard is so awesome for that Holiday. Think of the possibilities: wizard. Joaquin Phoenix. Hippie. Moses. Charleton Heston as Moses. Dan Quayle. In any case, enjoy the fruits of almost 2 months of not shaving or generally being able to get a girlfriend.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!!!!

I decided to grow a beard and blog about it. It's been about 1 week since I stopped shaving. I'll give you regular updates as to its status and any anticipated plans.

Oh, and I bleached my hair.

For Rude!

It may be funny. It may be true. But Leave Us Chads ALONE!
