Dreadlocks

[mr.nobody]

yeah don't get em. . . you are gonna look like a douche

This is a funny reoccurrence I notice.

It's the non association with what you affirm in idea/belief and life style.

IMO,If there is 'A' problem with religion/spirituality/philosophy ,its the non-practice of your highest ideals. Spiritual or Secularly speaking.

In my own experience. I talk with people in the meditation group I sit in. And it's not a singular occurrence to find people shocked , when I have mentioned that practicing mindfulness off the cushion is where I find the most benefit, watching as if on it still. Like its revolutionary. And then I'm equally stunned.

I'm glad they sit with us, however wonder how or why people set that concentrated mind aside when they stand up

I guess all in all, not everyone that is shaving their head is a Buddhist Monk, so not everyone that has dreads has to be rasta.

What is the lifestyle of someone with dreads, in your mind, brother?

[yo.]

what about this shit? and they're "accelerator" products.
is any of this quality or just gonna make a big ass nappy mop on my head?

in my mind, i guess what i meant by lifestyle, is pretty much just the dedication and maintenance.
i also wanna be the poster child in my little redneck town for CLEAN dreads
also, as some one said earlier, lots (if not all) folks with dreads smoke erb.

I used to be SUPER into korn so I tried to be like my idol, Jonathan Davis, and grow dreadlocks. But, much like his, my hair isn't curley it's mostly straight so what I ended up with was dirty matted hair. It was downright unhealthy. I took the advice to "Never brush and wash with bar soap". Well it certainly did something to my hair but you couldn't exactly call them dreadlocks.

Just bad hair.

[yo.]

My hair is really curly and nappy, naturally. And thick as fuck.

*likes "thick as fuck"*

[yo.]

ha ha that's the only way too describe it.
people down here call it "horse hair"
but that doesn't do mine justice. when it's grown out it's like a hair helmet.
ha ha ha

I guess "thick as fuck" is a blessing and a curse. One thing, you'll have a nice strong hairline. But then it tends to look goofy if you don't do something with it, you'll have a mushroom head.

[yo.]

^right. so dreads are a good idea, no?

[Waves]

man be the person you want to be and fuck everyone else

even if you look rediculous

isnt that the whole point of dreads in the first place?

[SageTree]

man be the person you want to be and fuck everyone else

Fact of the matter. Fact of Life.

[yo.]

Dreads on a white guy in Mississippi?

You aint lookin' for much love from anywhere are you?

[yo.]

ha ha, no. but my social group mostly accepts/likes them.
and every one's excuse for not liking them is because they have the misconception that not cleaning your hair gives you dreads. parenthood propaganda maybe?

[Grieves]

just ask mikey about all the ways his dreads have set him back...That is if he isn't still in denial...

[Mercury]

odds are you'll at least find some chick who thinks they're way hot

lmao! thats a deceptive statement. what you mean to say is, odds are he'll find a thousand chicks who will find it not hot.

Here's a picture of me and my buddy(think his locks were like 5 years old at this point). Honestly I don't think their goofy at all... Shit his hair looks more maintained then mine.

ya'll look hella cool
