The 8 Phases Of Getting A Haircut

We've all been there. You look in the mirror, and your unruly locks catch your eye. It's messy, and not the "hot 'n' sexy" messy, but the "I-rolled-out-of-bed-30-seconds-ago" messy. The color has faded, the shine has dulled, and there are split ends everywhere. You can't get the back to lay down the way it's supposed to anymore, and the right side does this weird, flippy thing that gives you an instant throwback to elementary school when you asked Mom to curl your hair. You know what's coming: it's time for a haircut.

The 8 Phases of Getting A Haircut

1. Excitement

Haircuts are good, right? It's like the start of a whole new you.

2. Apprehension

But you love your hair. After all, you grew it long for a reason.

3. Fear

YOU'VE MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

4. Panic

THIS IS HOW THE WORLD ENDS. YOU'LL DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT AND SADNESS.

5. Denial

I'm not getting my hair cut. I'm not getting my hair cut. I'm not getting my hair cut.

6. Mourning

I will never be happy again.

7. Acceptance

Maybe I look okay. Maybe.

8. Confidence

LOOK OUT WORLD. MY HAIR IS FABULOUS.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
