Everyone has a bad hair day, now and then, but when I have a bad hair day, the stuff is in full mutiny.  I just got it cut about two weeks ago, so it's very short.  You'd think it couldn't do too much considering there's not more than two inches of it anywhere but you'd be wrong.  My mistake today was to just comb it after my shower, assuming it would do what it wanted to do, which is what it always does.  The problems arise when each hair on my head decides to do something different.

I'm all in favor of rugged individuality in theory but when talking about the hair on my head, I think a collective should be the way to go.  It just never goes that way.  Yesterday I parted it on the right and it all stuck up in a bump on the left.  I looked like Gumby.  So today I parted it on the left, figuring I'd split the mass of hair and have a more symmetrical head.  Sometimes that works but sometimes, as the hair dries, some of it tries to repart itself and I wind up with a faux hawk.  Sometimes the hair in front fights each other and I get this weird vortex of hair over my forehead that looks like I tried to "style" it with an egg beater.  It's as though my hair were in a state of revolt.  Not against me; against each other. Today, the stuff on the sides puffed out and the stuff on top flattened out.

I look like I'm wearing a mortar board.

This is why I keep it short.  If my hair were long it would eat Minneapolis.
