Keanu Reeves and my hair
Mar. 25th, 2022 07:46Reading @beautiful_dreamer_2 's entry about hair and styling made me think of my haircut experiences. Our roads to a similar solution are different but the results pretty much the same. I don't like going to get my hair cut. In the military I did not mind too much. They did not make a production out of it but cut it in a couple of minutes to where I wanted it (Navy or Marine? Tapered or blocked?.. the only questions and pretty much the entire discussion).
After a while I let it grow. It stays about the same length. Every few months after a shower I put it in its usual hair band pony tail, hold it up behind my head in the mirror, and cut off a couple of inches. Since I nearly always wear it in a pony tail that works fine.
Meanwhile for some reason in the middle of the night my brain decided it wanted to dream up a story with me in the middle. I was involved in shooting a movie as the director or assistant director with a complicated camera set up (like I know anything about such). As I was trying to figure out the shoot, Keanu Reeves arrived on set and offered to help. I let him.
I think my mind started chuckling at that point as things kind of faded out. That's the sort of thing we do in movies, fade out.
