RE: What your hair-do says about you.. (Original wildlife photos and thoughts)
When I was at school, there were strict rules about boys having to wear their hair short. And thus, that is what I became used to.
As adult I lived in the Netherlands for two years, and in that cool climate found it convenient to let my hair grow to shoulder length. But when I returned to sunny South Africa, I found it so uncomfortable that I had it cropped short again.
Then I got a job as lab technician that entailed me working night shifts. In effect, back into cool weather, and so I grew the hair again. And then eventually once again found it just so uncomfortable that I had it cut short again. Which remained my style to this day, especially now that it is beginning to thin out a bit on top.
Guess I'm just lazy. I originally grew a beard simply because I was too lazy to shave. :-)
