Two Tony Texts also Pizza Factory Fashion Consultation

psychedelic text messages
from brother Anthony:

**********

They wouldn't hire you anyway... Hair can't be covering ears and sideburns can't extend past bottom of earlobe... Written notice required to grow a mustache or beard (will draft the letter soon)

10:02 pm 12/2/12

**********

To whom it may concern: I am writing to formally announce my intentions to grow a mustache.  Please be advised, that like a butterfly, my mustache must pass through several phases to reach its full potential.  Thank you, from the bottom of my upper lip.

Tepid Regards,
Mustachio Cardoza

My hair is undeniably ridiculous at the moment: uncut in over a year.

it has been a long year, this hair has witnessed crazy things.

I recently considered having it cut by a professional
but at the exact moment of that consideration/acceptance
I was picking up a pizza
and the old grandma type behind the counter says
"your hair! its-a-beautiful"
and that was that.

Worth noting that I'm unwilling to "trim"
it's all or nothing
not as extreme as a buzz
but the directions will be "short as you can go with scissors"
when the time comes
