Long time away...

Man i haven't been here in a while!  Today is Wednesday and i'm not positive the date.  I really don't care what day it is because it's always right now!  I live in my own reality and everything seems to blend together very nicely not knowing the date...or even the day most of the time!  Staying happy from a moment to moment basis is the key to a happy life!!!  You like what i did there??  Anyways everything is going freaking awesome.  I just sent my tax info to my accountant so hopefully i will get some $$ back!  The last few weeks has been pretty slow in the shop.  I have stayed pretty busy but the walk ins is a little off.  Here is a haircut i did today...



This is a skin fade and a beard shape up with a classic comb over and a hard part that you can't see from this shot.

I also went to see my friend Geronimo who i have worked with for the past 7 years or so but now he owns his own shop on the corner of 17/92 and Lake Mary Blvd in Sanford.  He hooked me up with a beard shape up!!



I hooked him up with some of this E-Z Blade shave gel that in my opinion is the best shave gel/lotion that is on the market as we speak...that is that i have tried and i've tried a bunch of them.  Look no further....THIS STUFF IS LEGIT!!



Got back to the shop for my 2 O'clock and got another 2 after him.  I went to Riverwalk Pizza for a slice of pizza.  While i was there the owner told me he wanted a 12 o'clock appointment for tomorrow.  I got him penciled in!   

Got back to the shop and did 2 last cuts for the day.  I did a second time returning customer named Brian like me, from Nebraska, and this guy here was my last cut!!  

Basketball practice...my daughter faked me out again for going poop on the toilet...wife is happy with me today YAY!! ... John the Barber loves the E-Z Blade like i told him he would!  LOL  ... wife made bangin pork chops on the grill and rice for dinner!! ...NIGHT Y'ALL!!

Thursday May 22nd 2014

Another awesome day at the shop!  Started the day driving up and seeing a guy walking up to the door.  I parked behind him and as he was in the truck.  He looked over and said u opening the barber shop?   I said yeah you need a cut?  He said yeah.  I didn't recognize him so i asked how he found out about the shop and he said that a friend of his usually cuts his hair but he was out of town and he found us on Google.  So i laced him up with a skin fade and gave him some of this special cream that i have been developing for people like him with dry skin to try out.  After i put it on him to sample he was feeling it so i just gave him one of my $5 jars for free!  Long short... another happy guy running around town.

Pun Intended!!

Went to Subway after cutting like 4 guys.  Got a footlong Tuna with provolone cheese, lettuce, black olives O&V S&P.  Spotted a guy that looked approachable that needed my assistance so after i finished my sub, i walked over to him and handed him a card.  I told him that i'd love to earn his business and told him where the shop was.  I said i can hook you up so this part of your hair (as i am doing the motion on my head where he had hair sticking up on his like Alfalfa) doesn't stick up anymore!  Laughing and agreeing with me he told me thank you i will come and check you out.




Got back to the shop and had a nice smooth day.  I had a half hour or 40 minutes that were slow and i went through all of my pictures that were on my memory card.  I found 3 video folders that if i had formatted the disc i wouldn't have ever known were deleted!  Good thing i triple check that i have everything on my external drive before i just hit the reformat button!!  Very grateful.  I am very organized with my "vault" of pictures that i have amassed over the years!  I have many many gigs of photos and videos that one day i hope to go through and relive my life again through the pics!  MAke sure you keep 2 sets of backups of your stuff in just in case!

My little man was dropped off at 6.  He played the Wii and then we  stretched out a little bit at the shop before we went to grab some pizza and play some basketball.  He ran more than ever tonight.  It is so awesome that we can go to play and he finds his way into the kids games and i can play with the boys at the same time!  We had fun!  I guarded an 18 yr old 6'3 kid with endurance for miles!!  It was a great workout.  I played tough D, threw some ridiculous dimes and made about 50% of my shots.  I was winded and had no legs toward the end.  Feels good to feel the progress from a couple months ago.  I feel really good out there.  Still nowhere near 100% but on the right trajectory for not playing ball for so many years on such a consistent basis.


Find the gator!!  He is there but you may never find him!

Turtles everywhere today!



Got home at like 9.  Found this blog and said i used to have a journal that i did a similar thing to this.  Why not give a quick summary and see what happens.  Going to go to do some yoga, stretching, and probably pass out in the process!!  Didn't see my daughter all day.  Sleeping when i left and sleeping when i got home.  :(  Tomorrow is my birthday.  Gonna go to Wet and Wild on Sunday for some fun.  I will probably go to dinner with family tomorrow night somewhere nice.
