The Realization of a Dream
So. I got to do something today that I've been dreaming about for-pretty much-ever. It's a simple thing, really. I got my haircut. So I could closer resemble a character I'll be playing. (As I was watching myself type that I found myself wishing that this character, I've yet to describe, only existed inside my head. And I went out and got a haircut to play a character IN LIFE. But only genuises do that.)
I did, however, realize a dream today. Which is beyond exciting. I've always wanted to walk into a hair salon with a giant mop of hair, an unkempt beard and say, "whaddaya suppose Captain Ahab would look like? Give me your rendition..." This is just an example, of course.
I went to a barbershop near my house and I told the lady that I needed a haircut for a character. She responded with, "we get that all the time." Not in a crappy way but in a hey this is Hollywood way, that only dampened my spirits a tad. She then asked what character I'd be playing and I said, "well, he's kind of a guido, 'Growing up Gotti' kid, Jersey shore kind-of guy." And she replied, "So this guys kind of a Monster?" And I said, "Yeah" but part of me knew that she heard me wrong. Because she had only heard the word "Gotti." I then explained to her what I really needed. Although, I really wish that when she asked me if the character was a "Monster" I just answered Yes and left it at that. The truth is that I'd love it if people described ME as a Monster. A nice, helpful, entertaining, and funny monster but a monster nonetheless. The point is she really hit the nail on the head but I needed to get my point across.
So, I then explained to her exactly how to cut my hair.. to make me look like an asshole. The result is exactly what I wanted. When I dump a goof-ball's amount of gell in my hair it has the desired effect.
The thing I wasn't ready for was how my hair looks when it's not gelled up. I was surprised to see that I look like an even bigger asshole when it's dry. It looks as though I walked into the barbershop and yelled "Make this hairdo look as close as humanly possible to whatever is living on Nick Cage's head." No disrespect to Nick Cage, I loved Armageddon.
It was a great day. And I love my haircut. I've only gotten one honest person who said "I hate that haircut" all day. He's right and it's still early. I hope my next character cut is really extreme, though. Like a nice giant, dyed mohawk. Always wanted a mohawk. Maybe a crazy looking clown do... hair dyed bright red, bald spot shaved up the middle. The Bozo. That's what I'd like.

Dude, I've done The Naked Comedy Show with you. You are a monster.
I had to write this, but I know that I am very creepy.
Chris, Nic Cage wasnt in Armeggeddon.

Actually don't. He wasn't in that one either. On third thought my hairdo doesn't resemble his in any way.
Oh, and I spelled geniuses wrong also... just in case you want ta pick nits.
Christopher, sometimes you get movies and actors wrong, maybe youre thinking Con air or the Rock.
Either way, as you always say to me, lose the attitude.
