On that Friday night I asked my parents if one of them could take me to a barber`s so that I could get my haircut, they seemed shocked that I asked such a request but my mom said that she had errands to run the next day so she could drop me off at the nearest barbershop on the way, which was Tom`s. It was getting in my eyes and beginning to cover my ears, I had noticed it earlier when I kept having to brush the hair out of my eyes during study hall while I was reading a text book, I new that this coming weekend I had to do something about it because it was becoming an annoyance, and with all the time I put into studying, I didn`t bother with haircuts, but now I had to make the time. I had looked in the mirror of the boy`s bathroom at school and saw how long and scraggily my hair had gotten in the past 6 months, I was beginning to look like a member of a heavy metal band, which quite a fw of the kids in my school already looked like. At this time though, it was that I NEEDED one really more than wanting one. I think I hadn`t had a haircut since before the beginning of that school year, my parents were not too big on enforcing haircut rules for either my brother (who was a junior in high school) or for me, they just figured if either my brother or I wanted one we`d just go to the barber ourselves and get our haircuts however we wanted. I couldn`t remember at the time how long it had been since my last haircut, I was currently 13 years old and in the eighth grade at that time, I kept my grades at A`s and went out for baseball every year. I remember it well, it was a Saturday morning in February 1984, and this one event that took place at Tom`s Barber Shop would change my life as I knew it.
