I am on my high school newspaper staff, and this article was recently in the paper. Enjoy! Thank you equestrian. If it weren't for you students would not know the troubles I am havine and why I am complaining so much. This time I would say I have beef with have the student body and alot of the teachers. It seems that I, as well as many other fine male students, have been getting unnecessarily sterotyped because we have longer hair. The only question I have is why? In the past year it seems the long hair on males has come back into fashion. Some say its dumb or it makes you look dirty or like a hippie. What is wrong with loving eachother and the earth. You haters should make love not war. The fact is that while long hair does not look good on everyone, it does look good on some, like me. I am a dork, and I take pride in being one, but there is no denying that I do have luscious locks of golden blonde hair. Envious? Eat your heart out. The other day me and my longhaired friends and I where walking down the hallway only to be pointed out and told to get a haircut. I flicked my head to the side to get my hair out of my eyes and I could see the taunters eyes fill with envy. The brings up another awesome aspect of having longer hair; if you are ever tired, you can just brush your hair into your eyes and go to sleep, and no one will ever even know it. Its a slackers dream, literally. What else is said about longhairs thats bad? Supposedly we are all potheads. Lie. I know that many are, but many others are not. One thing that is true, though, we are rockers and we are cool with that. We like to rock out and if you dont your life must suck and you should go hit your head on a brick wall in shame. Taking a look through history, I dont see alot of good comming from shorthaird males. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hitler has short hair, and he was not a very good guy. So did Mussolini and even worse, so does George Bush. Sorry shorthairs, you just cant compete with the likes of the Beatles or Kurt Cobain. Lets face the facts people; Long hairs are here to stay and we rule. We are proboly the coolest beings on this planet and everyone should have at least one long haired friend. You should run out and find on and then buy him everything he wants so he will stay your friend. On last thing, guess who else had long hair? Yeah, thats right, a certain messiah name Jesus Christ. Take it like a man and admit that we are supreme. *Note* The Equestrian is the name of the newspaper.
right... what an outdated thing to say. nice ego... does he want some bread with that cheese? Kinda gay. what a lame thing to say. Who talks like that? Sorry, I really didn't mean to overanalyze the article... alright written but there were just parts of it that sounded absolutely hilarious and a little lame... but the point is made... thanks for sharing...
It sounds like he tried too hard instead of just letting it flow. Its just going to make people with long hair look more like egotistical liberal bastards more than we already do. I take pride in being an egotistical liberal bastard though The whole hitler and bush comparrisons, I dont know, didnt sound good. Didnt fit in with the paper. The brick comment also was kind of lame. Its cool that somthing in that area was printed in your school newspaper though.
I'm sorry I have to agree with what cerridwen said about the article. First of all, it seems a bit pointless to have a whole article based on hair - whatever length it is - printed in a newspaper. And secondly, like The Magical Mushy said, I think you did triy to hard but all in all it made me smile.
i liked it, but that's probably because some guys tried to beat me up for having long hair today, they are so lame.
My thoughts. Very egotistic. If you want to stop the sterotyping stop defending them as stereotypes. Stop caring what others think or believe. Short hair, long hair it doesn't matter, it's the persons soul, spirit, heart(whatever you want to call it) that makes the person, not appearence. Peace, love, joy
I didn't like the article all that much, except for that part comparing Hitler, Mussolini, and Bush. Mentioning the Beatles was great, but I went back to hating the article after he made it sound that Kurt Cobain was on the same level as the Beatles. The Beatles were musical geniouses, and Kurt Cobain was a joke and, overall, his music was trash. "Life sucks lets kill eachother although I'm super rich! Waah I wanna die, look at all the money I have, but nobody loves me!! Dont forget to commit suicide everyone!" Fuck you Kurt Cobain.
No no, Kurt=GOD Jesus sucked, HE DIED A VIRGIN! (kidding, no one give me bad rep for this shit...lol)
haha i like having short hair, much easier to take care of i dont get attacked for having short hair either
Raves: Groovy that he's proud of his long hair. Rants: Tried too hard, put 'Beatles' and 'Kurt Cobain' in the same sentence like they were equals, tried too hard, "luscious blonde locks" And what's with the random comparison between George Bush/Hitler/Mussolini and longhairs like Jesus?
Nobody committed suicide after Jesus died, in honor to Jesus. Also, he never encouraged anyone to commit suicide. He didn't make shitty music either. I like short hair on girls more for the most part, but I like longhair on dudes.
