So I've decided to make some changes in my life, and previous experiences has shown me that psychedelic drugs make the transition to a different lifestyle a bit easier. And I've always felt that an outward expression of inward change is good to keep you on the right track. So tomorrow we are going to take some LSD at around 2:30 pm and a friend of my girlfriend is a hairdresser and she'll come to our house at around 6-7pm to cut my 2-year old dreads off. Should be an interesting experience, I do like my dreads a lot (my 3rd set) but I am 1) Meeting my japanese girlfriend's family this year and 2) Trying to be less of a pothead. Also they've started itching a bit and it's such a hassle to wash. I'm sure I'll grow my hair long again, and once I do, I'm sure I will get a 4th set of dreads. But for now, it's time for a change! :2thumbsup:
Make it...... easier? Don't count on it. I don't see what having locks has to do with being a pothead, though I consider both to be positive things.
Good luck yeah,I don't smoke pot.. and I have had dreadlocks 3 years. At best I can see how it is slightly annoying when people assume I do/should based on my hair, but hey, stupid people are gonna be stupid people.
I mean... it makes it easier to be more focused on the changes you want to make, at least for me. Yes, I agree, dreads are great, and pot is great. But when I am dreaded I look at myself and am more inclined to see a pothead, I guess. And I just need a change for a while, things have gotten stale and I'm not progressing. Not even setting goals. I've found that the most productive times in my life have come directly after I've committed to making changes & made minor changes in how I express myself (changing hair, clothes etc) I know I could theoretically commit to making changes without the haircut, but when I look in the mirror with no dreads it will be like a new me and hopefully that will make it a bit easier for me to put in the day-to-day effort to become the person I want to be. Maybe I am just weird. In fact, I am probably just weird.
Define Normal........... I think cutting your hair to make a point is bullshit.. but thats just some assholes opinion on the internet. If you want to not be a pothead then stop smoking pot.... If you want to achieve goals set them and do them... cutting your hair is and in doing so completely changing your appearance is not going to change the fact that you enjoy being stoned and when stoned your not gonna do anything productive, you wanna make a real change.. move town, quit your job, get new friends who are not in your living room every other night smoking weed and passing the joint left..... But good luck with it
i have to be on your side here Jimmy P and say i get where you are coming from, in your mind cutting your hair is part of making your changes. when you look in the mirror it will be a visual reminder of the goals you are striving for and the things you have already sacrificed to reach them. look in the mirror and think, i have done this already so i must do more to make it worth while, help push yourself toward your goals good luck with the hair cut! not so sure about the drugs tho...
Developing an acute fear of scissors and possibly an ability to feel pain in the hair, for the duration of the trip seems a much more likely outcome -- to me anyways.
