Gimme a head with hair

One of the things that I realized while in college is that one saves a bit when one doesn't cut their hair. My current wife had said that she liked men with long hair. We weren't dating at the time and I wanted to fix that. One of y answers: let my hair grow out so she may want it and therefore want me. Well, this happened about four or five months before I started going to college. And it has since been three years since that happened. My hair is just touching my shoulders, almost as if it scared to grow lowers, but it's incredibly curly. Either way, I've saved about sixty dollars a year from not getting a haircut. My wife loves it and every so often, I get people asking about my hair. In a way, it looks like Slash's hair from Guns N' Roses. But, it makes me easily identifiable and became one of my defining traits.

Although, if I think hard about it, I probably spent that sixty dollars a year in grabbing shampoo, conditioner, and hair ties. So, it balances out  I guess. Either way, some days I like it others I don't. It had definitely now become an issue now that it falls between my eyes. Pulling it back is a requirement.

I wish there was a way to keep my hair while trying to find a job. Either I cut it off or I don't find a job. Decisions, decisions. As much as I like having hair on my head, I shed like a dog. So there's hair everywhere in my apartment and sometimes it shows up in the worst places.

Ah well, I can complain or just end it all and cut it off. I don't much want to do that. Yet....

Cut the ribbon!

I wish I had a set of giant scissors and that the blog had a red ribbon to cut, but you get the idea, right? Either way, I decided to try and keep an updated blog. Who am I? I'm Christopher Ortiz and I'm a 22-year-old student attending UCF. I'm happily married to my wife, Samantha, and we currently have a baby on the way. So, the blog might be the start of the day to day ramblings of me trying to handle college life, married life, and becoming/being a parent. Maybe one day my son (we got an ultrasound and it looks like we are getting a boy the first time around) will read this. Maybe he'll realize something.

That's not the reason I'm starting this blog. I'm starting it for myself to see if I can write about anything. And anything can mean anything. From having a baby on the way to say if I think "Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon" is any good. Or how I think a particular Magic: The Gathering card might be really awesome only for it to suck in standard and prove how casual I am. I dunno. This is just the introduction after all so I'm mainly just filling this up with my current thoughts from today.

By the way, today marks the first day of Summer B classes. Having a month off doing nothing and getting back into school with three classes from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon is tough. Sleep schedule is off so I barely slept the night before so I was nearly falling asleep the night before. I hope to get back into the groove of things. I pretty much have to learn how to cope. It's going to be how I'm going to be able to survive school and raising a family.

Ah well, it is late and I should be going to bed. Until tomorrow!
