Shinnfans, Friends, Family, members of the ASAC (Andrew Shinn Advisory Council), people who care, people who don’t care but are reading this anyway, and everyone else (except Max):
Help!!! I have a dilemma of gravest consequence. I have decided (drumroll please…) ………………. (you may want to sit down for this)…………………(no, really, sit down!)…………………(what were you doing standing reading my blog, anyway?!)…………………….. to grow out my hair. I know, some of you may be shocked and others appalled (except those who don’t care but are reading this anyway). But I feel it’s something I have to do. Alright, maybe I don’t feel that strongly about it, but at least I figure I’ll give it a whirl. But this is where the dilemma comes in. I’ve never gone through the transition phase from short hair to long hair. I don’t really know how to manage that. Do I comb my hair? How? Do I use gel? Do I try to fall asleep through the next 5 presidential terms in hopes of waking with Fabio-like locks? You’ve got to remember, I’ve been my own butcher…..er, barber for the last three haircuts.
In my quest for advice, I went first to the person in my household with the longest hair. In proportion to body size, that would be Max. I explained the nature, scope, and details of my woes to him. He patiently waited for me to finish. Then it was my turn to patiently wait. He just looked at me with a dumb look on his face that said, “What, were you hoping for something more?” I was, in fact, but that was my mistake. It was then that I realized three imporant truths: 1) He’s only grown his hair out twice, once when he was born and once after I shaved him. He probably doesn’t remember either time. 2) Max doesn’t talk. 3) Even if he did talk, he’s not that good at managing his hair (that’s why I had to shave him).
I thought about turning next to the internet, but my question’s so random and specific. I guess if anyone has the answers, it would be my precious Wikipedia or howtogrowyourhairout.com or something. But instead I’m turning to you. What’s your take? What advice can I solicit from you? How on earth do I grow out my hair? And who really shot JFK? Please leave your comments below.
Desperate (and disparate),

Andrew, dreadlocks are the answer. Or if you grow it really long you can just braid it like I do. A guy I work with grew his hair so long it was almost to his waist and he then cut it off and sent it to locks of love…food for thought. Love you, your hairy aunt Karen
Well…… I like long hair so I think you should go for it! Brian loves it when I braid his hair so I’m sure that Lisa will like that too! It will help her practice for the kids!!!!!!!!
