Cut your hair, ya damn hippie!

All this talk about earrings made me remember his first grade love affair with earrings. He had several clip on styles that he wore, usually little hoops. (Yes, he wore them to school, along with rings and all manner of bling.)

One day the school had a "blast from the past" day where you were supposed to dress up like someone from a different decade. Mo chose the punk rock 80s:

Proving you should never trust a mom with an extensive photo archive!

@boomerang,

He came up with this all on his own?

I know, I know, we are all programmed as kids.

I'm guessing that he'd just turned 7 in that photo. I remember that we cobbled the outfit together the morning of the dress up day so he owned everything but the tattoos. Because of that I'm guessing it was his doing.

That same week he dressed up as a garbage man for career day! He adored garbage men and their splendid trucks.

He's always loved dressing up in identifying garb. He still likes it. Maybe that has something to do with his reclaimed love of jewelry.

He looks so different now it's frightening! He was a cute little guy and now he's becoming quite handsome.

Mo hasn't seen his other mom (I'm his adoptive mom) since before he began school so I don't think it has anything to do with her piercing. Besides, unpierced, untattooed moms are the rarity here.

It pains me to say this,
but I saw a teenager on TV who spoke of being addicted to the pain
of having tatoos inflicted upon him! freaky.

So, now, a long time later, I'm reading about the horrors

Thay r doing a TV series on the removal
for vocational reasons.
Thay say that it costs more and hurts worse.

They do grow up fast. Mo's doing that whole early puberty thing.
In fact, after yesterday's conversation I'm thinking his girlfriend might be influencing him on this.....

I became pubic at 1O.
I distinctly remember disliking it.
I cut off the hair, but it grew back.
There was NO "early puberty thing"; my life did not change in any way.
Did it affect Mo ?

In the entire history of man.
Maybe 30% of men have had short hair. That scissors did not exist untill recent times makes short hair a risk proposition. knife it.

@boomerang,

Actually I'm fond of him and that photo. And I know your own efforts have to do with his choices or possible choices.

Surmising he will be creative with his approaches in life.

military pom.
or crewcut skinhead wannabe.
short hair is result of war... no lice.
The entire basis of short hair in modern society is military cleanliness.
Long hair was once considered a norm .. Men had 'manes'
Now our manes and testicles are removed.. we do what society wants.

Men are 1/2 of society, we are castrated only because we participate in the procedure.

"we are castrated only because we participate in the procedure. "
Why?

Why do we agree to be . civil and harmless. Knowing full well that many do not. And thus take life as they will.

Security of the system. is why

@Hjarloprillar,

You must have somewhat thin hair.

Any person (male or female) with thick hair will tell you that short hair is preferable - even in deep winter.

More guilt for what we believe that our fathers and grandfathers did, and for what some of the men amoungst us do. We have been sold the story that men suck by manipulative man hating feminists bitches, and too many of us men are stupid enough to believe it.

Still, you are partly correct....we humans are currently abnormally very aware of how precarious our existence is, and thus are particularly unwilling to rock the boat. More than in a very long time we are willing to allow ourselves to be placed in chains rather than to live as free men because we are afraid of what would happen if we rebelled.

@hawkeye10,

1. Except for the effects of aging, I don't feel that my existence is precarious.

2. I don 't feel any guilt, in any degree, for any reason.

3. I don 't feel constrained nor affected by feminists.

4. I feel that I 'm living freely, without inhibition.

5. In your posts in this forum, u don't appear to have been intimidated.
