Hair

I'm having one of those moments. The one where you take something that you never really notice and put it under a metaphorical microscope. Examining it until the utter thought of the concept is completely preposterous. Hair, hair, hair hair hair. Even the word sounds wrong now. Why is it necessary for us to grow long strands of stuff on our heads and why has the human race grown to love styling it. It can be used to make a fashion statement or in the art of seduction. Hair. Keratin. Bangs. Fringe. Locks. Filamentous Biomaterial. No matter the name, it's just plain weird. Almost as confusing as the conundrum of the eyebrow. This idea cropped up when i had my hair cut today. People making money by cutting up parts of our body? In those basic terms, hairdressers are basically sadistic psychopaths with scissors. Oh hair...YO CRAZY!
