When It's Time To Retire......

Okay i've been debating about posting this post but when I was awaken by a laugh & the name "Mr. Clean" I KNEW it was time to speak on it.....Why don't older people know when it's their time to retire?!?!?! I was out today & I decided to get a haircut before I went in for work, I go into the barber shop & I guess everyone else hasn't come in, SO the only person there is the owner & two more people in the back...but they had someone in their chairs so I asked the old man if he could get me in...he slowly gets up & takes his time getting out of the chair, he asked me how I wanted my hair & I told him a tappered & faded all over he says, "okay boss"....we had small talk about what I did for the 4th & how he spent his (while he was putting the robe over me & the lil neck thing) so he proceeds to start cutting.. Mind you now, he's the owner he knows what he's doing soo I wasn't worried about anything UNTIL he gets the side of my head & I see his arm moving kinda funny so I ask if he was alright (now he's old but he talks MAJOR shit) so he tells me "Yea nigga i'm fine!".....

So I'm like okay, I let him continue cutting.... then he grabs the razor (plays psycho theme) to line me up & I'm just sitting there with my eyes closed like "LAWD, PLEASE don't let this man do me like Ceily tried to do Mista"...& he starts to shave & it's like a lil wobble in the arm still & he gets by my ear & it's like hard swoops i'm just like "lawd I KNOW he done cut me!"...soo I get up out the chair, ask him how much I owe him, (I've never paid more than $13-$15 for a cut & shave but I only got a cut this time) & I knew he was finna try & get me because when he call out an outrageous price he NEVER looks @ you or your money He looks up @ the tv & he's like "aw, give me $20" & USUALLY I would argue but I aint feel like messing with the old man so I just gave him the twenty & left, went to work, had my hat on so I never really looked @ my hair...I leave work early (another blog) come home, look in the mirror & I'm like WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yall....I got patches of hair still on my head, I look like a Dalmatian....& where he lined me at you can see the light pink meat where he went too far back on my line, my head is SKINT! like, my hair hasn't been this low since my mom was telling my barber how to cut my hair when I was getting the bald fades...but this one is BALD all over & I paid $20 for this bull!!! I could've did this to myself for free.

*Editors Note*: I didn't name names because I don't want to call the old man OR the barbershop out like that.....but those in Jackson, MS know who I'm talking about that's the LAST TIME I'll ever go back there...EVER!
