How Professional

“I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.”
John Cleese (1939 - )

So it’s been three days and it’s funny the type of “compliments” I’ve been getting from folks. Not to say I won’t take them, but saying someone looks a certain way know makes them think you used to look the opposite of that. The one that I ignored with clenched teeth was…”you look professional now.” cause I’m shaved like a monkey about to be shot into space? It goes back to my thought that people can’t stand when a brother has hair that goes beyond the length of need a brush. Unprofessional. So my natural self is unprofessional. If I was white or indian or any other race who had straight hair it would be unusual and a “do” in itself for me to have my hair this low. People suck. I want to respond well, you still seem to be incompetent…perhaps you should try a new hairstyle as well.

P.S.

I am not a puppy and I do not like my head rubbed…I do carry a knife and am willing to cut someone.

  3. why did you do it? I agree about the letting go–otherwise our lives become cluttered and stagnant. But why your hair?
