Why?

I cut my hairs today. I'm not sure what exactly motivated it. I've gotten some interesting reactions and the common question, why? Here is a list of possibilities:
1. My friend Gabe is trying to grow his hair out really long, I needed to bring the universe back into balance.
2. I'm getting my Aang costume ready  for the opening night of Avatar: The Last Airbender
3. Fulfilling my part of the deal Sharon and I made when she cut her hair short.
4. Tribute to the bald men I admire like Ghandi, Kearney Zzyzwicz, Capt. Picard, John Durant, etc...
5. Bond with Ira
6. Look more intimidating and to blend with my homies, kronies, and peeps on the bus
7. Bring back the Swim Team glory days
8. The pleasure of feeling the wind blow over my head
9. The doomsayers convinced me that the apocalyptic Armageddon of World War III was upon us and I'm preparing to be enlisted.
10. Remind me my pride grows back the way my hair does

Please leave a comment and add more reasons a person would shave their head. After I decided to do this I thought it would be interesting to compare what I look like with/without hair and glasses, I'd be interested to know what people think.

Not bad. But I'm a fan of the hair. Want some of mine? It looks like you should have a fu-man-shu:-).

My first thought was the glory days of PCHS SWIM TEAM!!

I also like reason #5!

You definitely look more intimidating now.

You look younger with hair. But I'm also a fan of keeping life simple!
Looks like you are getting really creative with you time! j/k

I vote for hair, but it's pretty fun to touch a shaved head of non-hair.

Sweet! I'm sure it's much more convenient to not have hair. You may have just inspired me! :)

I like your hair and your glasses.

P.S. I took the picture that is behind your blog title!
