As he celebrates the one-year anniversary of his first head shave, Brotherhood Member Dominic Perino shares the changes that have happened to him since making that decision:
Well, today is my one year anniversary since I first decided to shave my head. For all of those out there on the fence, I have decided to list everything that has changed as a result of shaving...if it get's too long, sorry.
1. Not worried about any weather condition, wind, or wearing a hat that would mess my hair up.
2. I have ridden lots of rollercoasters/amusment park stuff with my wife--don't have to worry about the hair.
3. Gone to the beach all last summer, swimming, pool parties etc and never worried about my hair.
4. Learned to ride and bought a mototcycle--I can ride anytime, anywhere without worrying about messing my hair up.
5. Have EMCEE'd numerous functions and don't have to worry if "can they tell how bad my hair is thinning", which did affect my performance in the past--people have told me "WOW, that was awesome--you were never like that before you shaved your head".
6. People look into my eyes when they talk to me, and I know whether they are being "real" or not.
7. Got some cool nicknames like "Skeletor" and "Captain America"
8. Get much more sleep than I used to--shaving it every day is EASY, and takes much less time.
10. I have Phillies/Flyers season tickets, and I can now wear hats or ball caps to games and I no longer avoid or worry about removing my hat when the national anthem is played.
11. Can go to the gym and shower there afterwords because I don't need the time or have the worries of my hair.
Now the IMPORTANT ONES:
12. My family and friends treat me the same, and I can be more relaxed and my real self comes out more because I am not worried about my hair.
13. I have learned that superficial things are not important--it is what's in the heart that matters.
14. And MOST IMPORTANT, my wife of 19 years loves me just the same. And, I have taken a stressor away--the stress of not going out or avoiding places/things because of my insecurity about my hair is gone! She loves having the real me back again.
So to some of those on the fence, you may be able to relate...for me, my life has become much less complicated and I am having much more fun since I decided to shave one year ago...it doesn't even feel like a whole year has gone by...
