I was sitting here, wondering what to write when The Husband Dude had me start watching hair tutorial fails on YouTube. If you don’t know what a hair tutorial is, it’s when someone makes a YouTube video showing how to fix a hairstyle, or the proper way to create a certain kind of curl or anything basically having to do with fixing hair. These are typically posted by young girls/women from teens to twenty-somethings.
The fails are the ones that turned out badly, and for whatever reason, got posted online anyway. The drama is greater than any 80’s night time soap opera.
Watching Sue Ellen weep over the possibility that she shot J.R. in a drunken stupor has absolutely nothing on a nineteen year old who just accidentally shaved off the side of her hair.
You have to wonder what makes any girl/woman who doesn’t have years/months/days or even hours of experience with hair think they can do a hair tutorial on YouTube and be successful at it, but hair we are, so to speak.
It sort of feels wrong to laugh at someone burning their own hair off with a flat iron, or cutting a giant chunk out of the middle of their tresses, but it also sort of feels right. It makes me wonder if Darwin ever knew his “survival of the fittest” theory would prove to be so hilarious.
There is a certain part of me that feels for these girls. When I was about eleven years old, I let my Dad cut my bangs and I ended up looking a little bit like Moe from The Three Stooges, only with really long hair in the back. I call it the Moe Mullet. Thank God, there are no pictures of it and Thank God Even More there was no such thing as social media in the eighties!
But in this age of publicizing everything that happens in your life, you’ll just have to forgive me if I laugh my ass off because you’re dumb enough to post that video of you ripping your own hair out while demonstrating eating corn on the cob off the end of a drill.
I wish I was joking.

Anyway, here are a few things that have happened in the last couple of weeks.
In Case You Missed It
I wrote about aging as disgracefully as possible, wasting time at work on a Friday, things that baffle me, and weird stuff I’ve observed in public restrooms.
I also discovered that if I type “Angel Who Swears” into my Google search, this blog is the first search result and my Twitter page is the second result. Pretty cool!
