Dreads Gone!!!

its kind of refreshing!

I’ve had the same hair for at least 4years, trying to work out how long, something like 4or 5 years though, and long hair since I left school! Over 10years id say total….

I remember getting dreads when me and Laura broke up, remember a line I think I heard Ani Difranco say or was quotes as saying that when ever something dramatic happened in her life she would change something about her to remind her. I remember Laura my ex really liked dreads at the time and when we broke up I decided the most fitting act of spite I could think of was to get my self her favourite hair style.

I’ve had such a good experience with them as well, I think I will always look back on that time of my life with fond memory’s. Especially the female attention, the countless girls who have said your dreads are fit, who could forget Squeak and “fitdreadlockboy” I still use that as a username on so many internet sites. Even more than that thought ill remember the friends that I probably wouldn’t have ever made if I hadn’t had dreads, at the top of that list is probably and Dana (who btw is the only girl who’s ever been attractive to me with dreads) but there are many other great people who I’ve become friends with and talk to who dreads have been a big factor in us getting to know each other. Ill also remember the association, with a type of crowd the “poi” crowd, or “hippy” kind of image that everyone has had of me for the past 5years (however untrue it always was). I guess some of it I will miss.

Why now, I still cant really answer that, I guess I just feel like, I’ve had a good 5years, and that the best of it is coming to an end, have to admit haven’t had the best of years, with woman and with my luck finding a decent job. I’m also nearing 27 and after 5years with the same image I’m quite excited about the prospect of freshening things up and maybe doing a bit of re inventing my self!

Its prob not just my hair!
