Contrasts

[jpinsd]

I know there's this whole "post a picture of yourself in the '90's" meme going around, and it started me thinking about.. well... hair. Because for most of the 90's, I was working at a music store, with a bunch of rocker types. I had long hair.

Yesterday, I cut my hair shorter than it's every been - well, maybe except for a few months after I was born. The contrast between the rocker of the 90's, and the bear guy of the 2000's just made me laugh a little at how much my style has changed in 16 years.

No contest - the new 'do is fabulous!

I hate to say it, but I couldn't help but think of "Wayne's World" when I saw the long-haired pics.... ;-)

Very nice! The angle of your semi-flattop complements the angle of your glasses. And of course, the color variation in your beard is gorgeous. Woof woof woof!

ever get the 'Bruce Willis' thing?

Dangerously close to a mullet. You were just a snip snip and a Camaro away.

You are way cuter now. But, you were cute then too. You definitely would have been one more gay guy that wasn't interested in me either. (;

My hair is way longer than Lena's now.

I really like your new 'do. I really REALLY like it better than your old 'do.

Coming from a guy who makes Salt-n-Pepper hair (not the band, you thillys!) look like the very definition of "sexy".... thank you very much :-)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Thanks Lloyd!

Thanks Roy!

and yeah, now that I see those pics with (slightly) older eyes... you're right. I am kinda Wayne's World there.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Thanks Mark!

have you seen this pic i took, as I was growing my beard in? it shows the colors very nicely :-)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

believe it or not, i did get that a couple times when I was younger... at least until people saw the rest of my body. then the comparison ends. heh

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

It. Was. Not. A. Mullet.

every. no no no ... no. not even close. It just *looks* like it in that one picture. but the front was almost as long as the back. Maybe an inch shorter... if that. I just had it parted on the right.

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

LOL! thanks Kev!

I think when I saw you guys around Christmas, your hair was longer than hers, anyway.


damn birkenstocks wearing hippie cartoonist long haired weirdo :-P

(i mean that in the best possible, way, of course!)

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Well thank you very much, mister!

[jpinsd.livejournal.com]

Thanks man! I'm really liking it, too.

I will admit that I do miss having long hair sometimes. It just felt really cool.

But then I see pictures of how it looked.. and i think " oh. yeah. not gonna do that again. no, that was just a really bad idea". hehe.

[lenashore.livejournal.com]

Whatever makes you feel better hun. LOL.

[sluggobear.livejournal.com]

CUTE!

[texwriterbear.livejournal.com]

Still handsome :-)

[ericsandgo.livejournal.com]

Niece? What niece? Who can see past that hair-do? (LOL)

Thanks for the birthday wishes this AM, was greatly appreciated.

[ericsandgo.livejournal.com]

You were just a snip snip and a Camaro away.

OK, that was funny!

[lenashore.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I think the funniest part would be seeing JPs face when he read the initial comment. Oh wait... there it is!
