Hey Dean,

Life is simple. Any complications and drama are self-inflicted.

People make problems out to be bigger than they really are. “It’s the end of the world!” “Man, life can’t get any worse.” I agree with your statement: we’re whiners.

If you get a perspective on the current situation that seems dire, then it almost always becomes insignificant, or at least much less so than you think. Ask yourself: will this thing matter in a week? Month? Year? The answer is usually no.

Yeah, it sucks to get a bad haircut. I’ve gotten those. But like you said, it’s not only not “the end of the world,” it’s actually pretty funny if you think about it.

Life is simple. So enjoy it, and don’t fret over the small stuff.

Best,
Oleg

It’s an obvious match really-porn and haircuts. lol. yeah that would be a little weird I think. And this Italian fellow, you think this guy could scale back the hair cutting time machine and say make me look, oh I don’t know, 30?

Everyone must have a barber/hairstylist story! They’re priceless! Some of my stories have been good: the Sudbury barber who, once you’re sitting in the chair, drops the latest edition of Playboy magazine on your lap!

But some have been not so good: the barber/butcher who insisted (in a thick Italian accent, of course) “No, no I cut…it’s too long!” when I requested “just a trim please”. I looked like a 12 year old when I left that place!

yeah I don’t know what it is with the barber dudes. That was the second time a barber ravaged my fro. I have moved on to clippers and cutting it myself…at least for my last hair cut. Took it right down to the wood. Tough to go wrong with that, unless of course I forget about the back of my head. Then I am right back where I was with those other two clowns…:-)
