Haircutting 101 For Dummies

So I've been cutting my hair since freshman year of college...well really since high school because I used to just shave it... Before that, my dad used to cut it because we are white trash and live on the poor side of the grand isle of Nahant. Because of this, I have a great fear of barbers! I don't like it when creepy old men touch my head!! I can do that myself, thank you!

But anyways, for Xmas I bought myself a new set of clippers, the 21 piece WAHL Clipper set!!! I was all excited because I dropped my old pair months ago and bent the blade...which makes it all more difficult to cut when the blade is broken on one side....but its doable.

I was all giddy pulling out the clips and preparing my bathroom for my 1st cut! I decided to go with the 1/4'' cilp for the bottom. But you know what I discovered, they made the clips for FUCKING DUMMIES!!! The 1/4'' clip is really a fucking 1/2'' clip!! I fucking want to see some skin bitch when I cut! As I continue fading up, the 1/2'' is really 3/4''! WTF?! Doooode, a monkey could use these clips and not screw up! I'm so fucking pissed! Whats the point in cutting your own hair if the thrill of messing up is gone??!?! I like the fact that I might need to shave my head if I fuck up! I finished my haircut in like 10 minutes, and it looks pretty damn good. I HATE IT.

Wait, monkeys are fucking cute, and aren't they smart?? Bad example.. Pick any other dumb creature, and they too can cut their own hair using these clippers!!!

So if you have ever wanted to cut your own hair and save yourself a ton of $$$, go out and buy a pair of these. Below I have provided a helpful lil chart of how its done. Thank you and god bless



Photobucket

Trim the back, working from the bottom upwards.



Photobucket

Repeat around sides and back of head.



Photobucket

For the bangs, measure out the length using your fingers, and trim along the edge.



Photobucket

For the top, trim from front to back with guide comb flat against head.

And if u mess up a bit, who the fuck cares, just put a lot of gel in it and mess it all up, and it looks fucking awesome!

PS: This is a Great cut for girls too!

Thanks Coca-Cola!

Some say that we can thank the Coca-Cola company for the way we imagine the modern day Santa Claus.
.
Originally Santa Claus was dressed in furs or cloth suits of red, blue, green, or purple. Each country portrayed him in a different color. At the beginning of the 1930's, the burgeoning Coca-Cola company was looking for ways to increase sales of their product during winter, then a slow time of year for the soft drink market. They turned to a talented commercial illustrator named Haddon Sundblom, who created a series of memorable drawings that associated the figure of a larger than life, red-and-white grabed Santa Claus with Coca-Cola. These advertisements of Santas holding bottles of Coke became a perennial Christmastime feature which helped spur Coca-Cola sales. The success of this advertising campaign helped invent the image of the modern Santa Claus that is now accepted across the world.

Google Maps

This is pretty cool. Starting at 10 a.m. today, Internet users who click on the "Street View" box on Google Maps (maps.google.com), will be able to peek at images from streets in Boston and surrounding communities. The views were stiched together from images taken by Google employees over the past year from cars and vans equipped with cameras..
Oddly enough they even included Nahant, but not Lynn, Salem or any other North Shore community...
.
Check it out, and maybe u will see yourself walking down one of the streets in Boston!

Las Vegas: Coke vs Pepsi


Holy crap, this made my week...okay, maybe year!! Some genius in Las Vegas put together a map outlining all the hotels that serve Coca-Cola or Pepsi! Next time I’m in Las Vegas, I’ll know exactly which Pepsi Hotels to avoid!!! Now I gotta get this guy to come to Boston to do the same thing, because if I know ahead of time which you serve, I won’t go into your establishment if its pro-pepsi. I’m serious, this is coming from a kid who picked his college on weather they served coca-cola or not…

Greenway Parks are Open

If you haven't noticed, or if you never venture in to the North End, both parks are finally open on the Greenway! Too bad they are opening right in time for winter....



Here's a link to see what the full park looks like according to the MTA: http://www.masspike.com/bigdig/parks/nendpark.html
