Made it back to Maui tonight, around 230am Alabama time (trip took about 19 hours)- any time I come or go to Alabama, its pretty much a day of traveling with layovers, and driving. Its good to be back, but man am I tired.
As you guys have seen from yesterday’s photo, yes, I am sportin a new hair cut. This is the longest it has ever been, and I think I am just going to roll with it for a few more weeks/months.
I think it is important to “re-invent” one’s self every few years, and this includes changing your physical appearance. Ive done clean cut, Ive done bald and now its time to see what long hair looks like. Im thankful I can at least grow it out.
One of my football coaches used to say “Consistency is the refuge of fools”. What I take that quote to mean is that once you get comfortable with something, complacency creeps in and robs us of learning and trying new things and improving. I’ve never had very long hair, so I thought I would try it out and see what people think (feel free to leave comments).
One of the nice things about Maui is that nobody feels you have to look a certain way. I know living here has freed me in the sense that I am not trapped in my bathroom spending time making sure my hair is perfect prior to leaving. One way of wearing my hair might look better, but I am able to walk out the door with wet hair, crazy curly air dried hair, hair tied up in a bun or a pony tail, or blow dried flat ironed hair and each style is acceptable.
I know I am curious to see what you will look like with longer hair. Why not change it up while you still have the option.
Welcome home Mike.
looks great.. keep it for sure.
I have always felt that reinventing yourself occasionally is good clean fun. Your hair looks great – enjoy it until you’re tired of it. As a kid, my mother insisted I had a crew cut. Then the Army insisted I had a crew cut. Then BYU wanted it short. Now I do it my way and I’m happier.
I really like the short but I can understand wanting to change up a look. Honestly, you remind me of a guy I know…in his younger years. (No worries, he was good lookin’ too)
