Hey hows it been? don't look at me like that, donnnn't, i know why you're mad and well i have to be honest, i've been too lazy to write you, and it makes me as mad as it must make you...but lets fix this, theres nothing a little love cant fix...
 As you know, i am a Yankee fan, born and bred, and i was pissed when Clemens couldnt get the win, happy when Florida gave him a standing O, excited when the yanks came back from 3-1 to tie the game in the ninth, i was pissed when we couldnt score with bases loaded and 1 out in the 10th...but i was so happy for baseball that the innings kept rolling and very happy for Alex Gonzalez.
You gotta love the guy who is 1 for 17 in the series and hits a walk off homer, even if it causes the Yankees to lose... i mean if it had been a deciding game, and the yanks lost a close one like that, i would probably be boring a hole in my face with a 3/4" drill bit, to match the one that Luis Gonzalez gave me in 2001...but the Marlins, showed the skeptics that this will be a great close series, and that is good news for everyone...go yanks.
During the Yankee game, Denise and her sisters, Joy and Meg, were dressed all in black getting ready to partake in some devious behavior...Denise's large chug-mug with her name on it was stolen at a party a while back and through some secret intelligence, they learned that it was currently in the possession of another girl named Denise, who's address they had obtained....Equipped with a uncomprehensible map, which couldnt possibly aid the enemy if they had gotten their hands on it, they decided lets drink a Box-O before we get going on this highly sensitive mission...So these 3 girls downed most of a box of wine and headed out..and with their getaway driver, Brad, waiting in the car, they proceeded to knock on all the doors anywhere remotely close to the actual residence, and when they finally found the right door, the evil Denise was not at home...well a successful mission, i'd say.
Well i need a haircut, and i was thinking about a good haircut....just thinking...randomly and sleep deprived...hear me out...There is a haircut, simple and understated that symbolizes maturity and wisdom...
 The haircut in question is one made famous in my mind by William Russ, you might know him better by Alan Matthews on the show Boy Meets World, or the father from American History X...well, "Rusty" as he is known at home, went from shaggy young hip father who managed a grocery store and kissed Betsy Randle a lot, to the wise father figure, who owned a sporting goods store and dealt with some important, more serious adult issues...
and this transformation can be chronicled by his haircut, which got progressively shorter as the kids got older...he wasn't losing his hair, but his once Mr. Turner-esque flowing curly hair slowly got closer to his head and less curly, until at the end of the series it was a a touch above a soft crew cut...(also note that his hair was curlier and untamed than that first picture in the early days and shorter and more matted down than the second picture in the end of the series, but come on, i couldnt find a whole lot of pictures of William Russ with different haircuts.)
 Also, over a large amount of time, we've seen Matthew Perry change looks as Chandler Bing more often than some clever comparison i cant think of, and his current haircut is the one that shows the most growth, but its the shortest....now it could be the fact that he is married now on the show and is trying to have a baby...or perhaps its his new clean living healthy lifestyle as a human being, cuz we know at least one of his looks was drug related,
the thing is to pull off this look, i think you have to get a tan and put on weight in the face, but not fat weight, age weight...someday, someday, thats my haircut...reserved for me for a future date.
Talking about haircuts,
It seems to be that often in movies, especially movies about growth and maturation, that one of the characters goes through a major transformation, and at the root of the "new" you is a shorter haircut, its fresh and new and now you are more aerodynamic and ready to seize the day....it happens more than i'd like to admit. My mind is a blank, i am so tired, and i know there are so many obvious teen drama movies that are perfect examples, please leave me feedback if you have better luck with your brain, but i'll throw out a few,
The New Guy: Dizzy Gillespie, wants to be cool at his new school after an embarrasing hazing at his old highschool, and goes from having more hair than DJ Qualls' tiny head could support to short bleached and spiky...hot..and o yeah, he gets to be with Eliza Dushku at the end, so score one for the haircut.
Royal Tennebaums: Luke Wilson, in love with his adopted sister, has a dramatic cartharsis and shaves his full wooly beard, and long locks, right before slicing his wrists, as Elliot Smith's 'Needle in the Hay' plays...he later is perfectly fine and it sparks part of the change that brings the family together (Side Note: Elliot Smith killed himself yesterday, which is a shame, he made some really moving music)
Rushmore: another Wes Anderson film, Bill Murray's lazy depression turns to motivated change after Max spurs him on, the turning point in Max's father's barber shop, where Bill Murray gets a shave and haircut and goes from unkept and sloppy to GQ...well he looks better at least.
About a Boy: the boy gets the life he wants and has brought his mom from suicide to happiness and Will, the loner womanizer who is empty inside, to a happy family setting...throughout the movie, this kid had a hideous English school child hair helmet and in the last scene where everything has clicked and some time has passed, he is older and wiser and happier and has a shorter, but still hideous haircut.
Encino Man: remember that? i mean it doesnt fit the formula but hey, when Brendan Frasier unfroze he had long hair covered in mud and then he got cleaned up and had like a crazy unkept almost dreadlock kinda whatever.
what an awful update, i post better drunk than sleepy...
Harland: maybe thats why that old lady said stop spraying whipped cream on my bushes
Conan: [laughing] Im sorry you say the dumbest things
