Soooo,
After nine-thousand, one-hundred and twenty five days - this is the punum I'm tragically stuck with. That said, I highly recommend getting a haircut on one's birthday; it takes a relatively insignificant abstract idea (such as a birth day) and really anchors its meaning through a physical change of reality. In other words, it makes you feel like something's actually different (new, do) instead of simply trying to convince your psyche of the same.
Abstract vs the Real - is what?? (Dad, try this on for size)
Reality makes up the Physical world that we are living in, and Abstraction is the ideas that make up the Mental world through which we interpret the Physical world (using signs, concepts, images, etc, much like this 'blog' and my language). So to physically change anything in your life - i.e. your hair, the placement of your furniture, a tattoo - you are effecting both the Mental realm and the Physical realm; in essence you are introducing the two together for a brief period of time. It's fantastic! To merge Mentality and Reality. It feels significant and new, brings possibility and change, liberates and frees your mind from an old way and into a newer, possibly "better" state of being. Try it, I say. Try it as much as you can.
How sweet it is. Ciao guys

does it count to take a shower or change your clothes? i vote that it should because it changes everything sometimes when you change your clothes, like today taking off my grease and sweat and mel's fumes-soaked work clothes and take a richly warm and pleasing shower and then put on my sweet gardenia smelling bathrobe and clean undies and warm socks and lay on my bed feeling like a freshly new person.
by the way i dig the do.
Mikie, I love Love LOVE your haircut! Perfect for you. I believe you should follow that girl around for your cuts, - or when you are famous, she can be part of your entourage! Love ya, Momma
