The Hair Cuttery

At least I saved some money eh?

UPDATE: PICTURES HERE! (still no internet)

Yesterday I got paid......WOOP WOOP!! YEAH! Ya-da-dey!!! I also set up my bank account and got my cash card ordered, yay. Yesterday I bought a Honko, which is a Japanese stamp with Kanji (a type of Japanese character writing that is very sophisticated). You could choose from all sorts of Kanji, ones for Peace, Love, Joy, courageous, child-like, all sorts of stuff. Well I wanted something with Love, because those of you who know me know just how much of a loving person, and how obsessed I am with adoring love itself that I would definitely want a love Kanji. I ended up choosing "know love". And for those of you who might be wondering why, its because I strive to "know love" in its purest sense everyday I wake up. How can I be more loving, considerate, patient, kind, respectful, humble, and loving? And it also represents that one day I will truly "know love" in its purest form, and thats the love Ill have with my wife *cue in..awwwwww* Hahaha, all jokes aside, its the truth, but lets move on to why all of you read this blog, for the *drumroll* FUNNY STORIES!!





*Cue gameshow music* And now, the moment youve all been waiting for, here is your host for "funny stories from Japan" JEEERREEEEMMYYYY WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE!





Hello! Hello all!! Well do I have a funny story for you today. Two days ago I decided to cut my hair. It wasn`t getting unpleasantly long, but it was mentally time to cut it. So I got out my clippers, put it on 2 and starting buzzing. I was doing a good job, I managed to have two mirrors and was able to see the back of my head so that I didnt just have a big patch of hair sitting in one spot that I didnt notice. After about, oh, maybe 20 minutes or so, maybe a little less, I was starting to shape up my hair and all was well. The haircut looked good. So I turned off my clippers and went to bed....yeah right. I told myself that I wanted it shorter. So I decided to put the clippers on 1 and started buzzing....*buzz...buzz* OH CRAP!!!!! THATS TOO LOW!!! Ah...CRAP! CRAP! I cant stop now! CRAP! OMG! WHAT THE HECK! AWWW HECKZ TO THE NAW! Shoot! Jeremy you just HAD to go lower didnt you!! GEEZZ!! Little did I know that on my razor, 1 was a HUGE difference from two. Back at my barber at home, 1 and 2 werent too much different, and one DEFINITELY didnt cut my hair as low as I just cut it.





So I start the arduous task of again cutting my entire head on 1 and trying not to miss any spots. All of a sudden *buzz..buzz..bu..b......* My razor runs out of battery. "Hey jeremy, why didnt you just plug it up in the first place and cut your hair with it plugged in?" Good question mr./ms. smart alec who isnt letting me finish the story and who should just be quiet now while I finish telling you. If I plugged in my razor while I had it on, it wasnt able to charge AND function at the same time. So now Im sitting there with BASICALLY a maze in my head. Mostly, for any of you who are familiar with black hair, since I started cutting it in the front it looked like a reverse fade. I had a little on the top and most of my growth in the back. So if you were to look at me from the back it would look like my fade is going TOWARD my forehead. So instead of th least amount of hair being in the back of my head and the most being toward the front, the most was on the back and the least was on the front or the top. Yeah, it was like that.





I let my razor charge up for 20 minutes and it lasted for about 20 seconds. Then I let it charge up more, and it lasted a little longer. By the end of the night, probably 3 hours later becasue I had to keep letting it charge, I was able to get it mostly even all around. I let it charge overnight, woke up the next morning and finished off what little bit there was. The good news is I did NOT go to school looking crazy. The good/bad news is I told some of my students/co-workers about what happend and they thought it was funny. I guess thats funny news because I thought it was hilarious myself. Unfortunately I have no pictures for you all, but lets just say when I walk I can feel the wind. Hahahaha!





I still dont have regular internet so I cant post pictures yet, but when I get it, Ill post some pictures of my time in Tottori. Well, I have to get going. I gotta be at work in 15 minutes. Ja ne.
