With my awesome secret stat counter that I’ve embedded within my blog site I’ve discovered that I get about one hit a day from people searching things that happen to fall within my title. So methinks I will create a title with many popular themes to attract some attention…indeed, from this point forward my titles will always include something popular, that might often be googled.
So, I’m thinking about getting dreadlocks. Seriously. No, seriously. I’ve had a perm (pictures coming soon). I’ve had long hair. I’ve had short hair. I’m not real crazy, but I honestly don’t care too much about my appearance. See, here’s the problem yo, I’ve got to get cooler. Not colder, but more awesome. Becoming cool has now become a passion of mine like a burning flaming hawk within my loins. If I ever want to be a church planter(more so than I am now…ie, getting paid for it) I’ve got to fit the mold. Right now I do not. Right now I’m joe shmoe. Soon I’ll have dreadlocks, plugs, thick glasses, facial hair, and cool clothes from Holister or Goodwill, and YOU WON’T BE INVITED…sorry, that got out of hand. I might not actually do all that, but it’s within my heart.
Anyway, the whole point of this blog is to tell you all that I’m seriously going to get dreads. I realize the cost, I understand the pain, I’m ready for the shame, I am ready. I am going to do it and there’s nothing any of you can do to stop me.

the only reason you want them is because I wanted them first… you’re such a schmuck.
haha… what if I really thought that… it would be like that one time… you remember the one… the time you said a certain word and I haven’t heard from a certain someone since… I know you remember. I’m glad that we can joke about that- it hasn’t even been 21.3 years…
tabitha got them. they look real boss.
but will you shower?! or just not wash your hair? cause i only like people who shower…
im happy this is going to happen, it has always been a dream of mine-but since i care to much about the need to wash my hair- i am glad that you will be able to fulfill it.
See, thats teh common misconception about dreads. In reality you must actually keep them clean or else it will be hard for them to take! The kind of dreads that come from dirty hair are the dreads that homeless people and crack adicts have I think.
its true. I’ve performed extensive research on the topic. It is true that it is easy for them to become filthy, but it is also easy to keep them clean. If you get dreads, Ryan, we will no longer be friends.
Eyw.
If you haven’t gorwn your hair too much yet, you should start your dreadlock adventure by shaving your head bald! Maybe even your eyebrows too. YOu could even pray alot and call it a Nazarite vow. Then you could take pictures once a week and chart your dreadlock journey. What great blog content?!
you can totally get dreadlocks and still shower and still wash your hair (even though i haven’t for about two weeks . . . but still).
the first thing you need to do is start growing your hair out . . . my friend tried dreads and her hair was too short and they just unraveled (esp if you hair is relatively straight or shiney and smooth . . . they will just fall right back out every day) . . .
let me know if you have questions about the process (or the products that the internet tries to sell you!) . . . i’m no expert, but i do have experience.
I don’t think cool people say the word “loins.”
