Bet you guys were pretty good friends too :) And 2 minutes is an incredibly fast hair cut time! I'm sure he's in that great barber shop in the sky still giving his 2 minute hair cuts:)<BR/><BR/>Lavender - I'm glad somebody can relate to my hairdressing tales ... LOL! Thanx for the visit, hope to see you around more ...<BR/><BR/>Adrian - Buddy, how could I ever forget that :) Serves you right though, here i was getting ready for a date and you just had to go mess my hair.

His name was Dan Tracey. He was such a great guy and everyone loved him. He'd cut your hair in 2 minutes and it was perfect every time! In that 2 minutes you would have a great conversation, he talked fast and everything he did, he did quickly but was so memorable. Sadly, out of the blue, he died with no warning. Since then, I don't think about my hair, I just remember what a great guy Dan was. This post made me think of him, and if he's looking down from heaven, I know he's smiling from your wonderful post:)<BR/>Here's to Dan and you Nick! Have a great day:)Bobby Revellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225540511858755945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-16994859260790649452007-07-10T09:03:00.000+08:002007-07-10T09:03:00.000+08:00Sweetiepie - Relationship?

I had to make sure it was always combed in place all the times, even when I was at home! So glad I'm over it now :)<BR/><BR/>Sharon - I'm sure the $8 buck was pretty worthwhile, rite? Meter progress thingy? Hmmm, never did notice any but it sounds pretty interesting. I'm definitely gonna go check some running sites out. Stay tuned for the progress meter!Nick Phillips (15/03/1967 - 04/11/2022)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01043552434776358684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-9610979118561544782007-07-10T07:14:00.000+08:002007-07-10T07:14:00.000+08:00My!

There's just something about a man playing dress up with your hair ....<BR/><BR/>So glad you've kept up with the running part. You should have one of those meter progress things that I see on most fitness blogs so at least I can maybe get motivated to get my running adrenalin back again :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-54998125965782990352007-07-09T14:14:00.000+08:002007-07-09T14:14:00.000+08:00Hey Marz - no problem.

And thanx for the hair cut offer but I really think with this unruly mop of hair, only a barber with the same kind of hair can cut it ...<BR/><BR/>Diamond - wow, $150 plus tips for a badly done hair? I definitely understand how you felt. I've had experiences like that myself. I'm still trying to get that elusive Nick Rhodes hairstyle done though ...

LOL..to funny. <BR/><BR/>I went for a hair cut and highlight last year, brought a picture of what I was looking to have done or at the least pretty close to it. 3/4s of the way through I realized that the girl was doing her own thing. Now my eyes are pretty much useless with out glasses or contacts. I didn't put my contacts in that morning and wore glasses, a mistake I will never make again. I was mortified when she was done, coughed up $150.00 plus a small tip and never went back. I thought "This is what I leave with when I go to a salon that has won several awards?"<BR/>Whoda thunk?DiamondsSaphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427489054725961317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839903378804402359.post-12077533818845230722007-07-08T17:18:00.000+08:002007-07-08T17:18:00.000+08:00LOL! can't believe you took an hour to get your ha...LOL! can't believe you took an hour to get your hair fixed! wow! i am impressed that you have such a patience. :)<BR/><BR/>Most of my guy friends turns to the indian barbers too. It's cheaper and most important, RELIABLE. <BR/><BR/>However, if you would like to get a hairstyle like my darling's (http://martinsoo.blogspot.com), you can turn to me. I am his barber cum stylist for about 2 years now. I'll charge u a cheaper rate. Says RM8/ cut. Provided that you bring me a bar of chocolate at every cut. :PJean Chia aka Ms.Yummy~licioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375693303718191652noreply@blogger.com
