Why I Shave My Head

1. I didn't loose a bet.
2. I'm not secretly a Neo-Nazi.

The first time I shaved my head was before I moved to upstate New York with my brother. We were taking a year off to break the never ending cycle of work sleep repeat. Since I wasn't going to an office every day I decided to shave my head as a symbol for the break we were making from the norm.

3. I don't think I look awesome with a shaved head. I look okay.

4. I do not shave my head to annoy the bald guys my age. People have enough problems without me poking them with a stick.

That first time I went to a Super Cuts type place and had them shave it all off. It was instantaneously awesome. I'm not sure why but from that very first moment I just loved it. It felt great. The best part for me was not having to mess with my hair in the morning. Sure it only takes at max five minutes to fix my hair, but not having to tame it with massive amounts of gel was pure joy to me.

5. While it sounds really good I don't shave my head to flip the finger at the conventions of modern society and what is expected of me. There might be a grain of truth there, but really not the reason.

I kept my head shaved until winter that year. I had to grow it back because I didn't want it that short at our wedding. After the wedding I kept it normal because I was at a new job. Had to look professional and all that. The next summer though I did it again. It was just as awesome the second time.

6. I don't do it for Kay. She's not a big fan. See number three above.
7. The only reason I shave my head is because it makes me happy.

I've lost count how many times I've shaved my head now. We think this is the fifth, but it could be just the fourth. It's been over a week since the last time though and as always I love it. Not even a single regret.
