Jared is being non-compliant…..Imagine that!
Okay. Here’s the deal. Jared lost, which means he has to cut his hair. I just counted the votes and we had 12 votes to cut and 7 to not cut. Oh, and let’s throw my vote in, and we have 13 in favor of cutting. But, is he going to go along with this? Here is his argument.
“1. The voting was changed b/c you (Lyra) said you would end the voting at a certain time after it was begun.”
“2.  You can’t count on technology. There may have been more votes, were technology more reliable.” okay, i have to go throw up now.
“3. The socio-economically less fortunate are disenfranchised and unable to participate.” (he’s really laughing and thinking this one is hilarious. WHATEVER!)
So, to go along with the 1st argument, I will agree to stop the voting at 7:00 AM, tomorrow, the 19th of October. The other two arguments are just not even arguments, so I’m choosing to ignore them.Â
I so wish that you all could have heard his reaction as we counted these votes. Many of you know that Jared would argue with a fly on the wall. So, it was quite funny hearing him try to come up with reasons for why this wasn’t fair.

Jared, take your loss like a man…cut it!! (By the way, did you count my vote and Sam’s vote separately? It should be 2 votes! - Ha! Ha!) Take care and we miss you guys!
Speaking of the socio-economically less fortunate who are disenfranchised, whom I happen to work with 40+ hrs a week; I can assure you that the 5 scheduled appointments I saw in addition to the 5 people I had in group therapy today all agreed that a man’s head is his domain and side with Jared on this. Of course I am not at liberty to disclose any names w/o violating federal laws, so you’ll just have to take my word for it and give him another 10 votes to keep it.
…and may the force be with you my brother.

Jared, quit being a girl and cut your hair already!
I knew he wouldn’t cut it!
Jared was anticipating that the primary audience of Lyra’s blog were 20-something girls who have in the recent past told him his hair is, in-fact, “sexy.”
He figured this would be the majority of the votes and he was in no real danger of having to cut it.
I don’t blame him. I’d ask for advice from the internet also (if I thought it was going to tell me what I wanted to hear!)
Thad, you are hilarious! And, Mandy, yes, you have him pegged, of course! We’re gonna have to keep working on him, Nikki! And, Sarah, you’re right, I didn’t count you guys as 2 votes. Thanks for reminding me!
Ok, so i am voting for two people- Matt and I both vote, DONT CUT THE HAIR!!!! And if it comes down to it i can get other votes!
I can’t speak for my wife on this one, but I just cut my hair…it quite a pleasant experience. In fact, I found it rather liberating. Join me brother, in the freedom of short hair. Think of it this way: it will be less to weigh you down in your busy lifestyle!
Of course I could appeal to a Biblical text…oh wait, that’s why I came to seminary: to not pull Scripture out of context
And Lyra, if he won’t do it, you can always tell him you are going to go get ice cream and then take him to Great Clips instead…reminiscent of Seinfeld when Kramer doesn’t want to go to the doctor.
Emily and Matt just want you to keep the hair so they can be entertained on Saturday nights by impersonations.
“That’s a painter!”
“Now you look like an accountant!”
I agree, Mandy. There has to be some kind of ulterior motive here. Emily, you better watch out b/c I’m going to have to get feisty with you! You know I have a temper! LOL!
Oh my gosh, Dan! That is hilarious! Thanks for the vote! Now, get April to vote!
ps. Sean says, “Cut it hippie!”
THANK YOU, SEAN!!!!!!
Jared, check the “voting polls”. I think they were housed in
FL, which means good ‘ol Jeb probably fixed the votes.
Hey, you need to vote Chris!
By the way, everyone….the numbers are now 15 for cut and 8 for no cut. And, he’s still arguing. Mandy, i can’t wait for you to be out here and help me with this! We’re gonna have to come up with something good.
I say we wait til he’s sleeping and give Shea the scissors and let him gap it up in the back so he has to get it cut.
Then we can blame it on Shea.
He can’t stay mad at the baby!
GREAT IDEA! Although, because he is so hard-headed, he’d probably just let it stay that way and make me walk around embarrassed with him. Maybe not such a good idea!
