I'm Looking for a Barber
I used to have a regular barber. The type who knew stuff about me. The type who'd ask random questions and try to start conversations.
But then I got rid of my rose-tinted glasses and realized it has gotten monotonous, boring, meaningless (in the nihilist sense), and so now I just go to any random one.

Problem is, someone who's not familiar with my hair or probably still have very little skill or experience can ruin my hair (this is the downside of not having a regular one). Aside from contempt, familiarity also does breed trust. Familiarity is a double-edged sword, I just realized. Think of it like your regular barber as someone who's continuously going for 10,000 hours of cutting your hair.
But this does not mean that I don't want to have a regular barber. I'm just very picky. I have too many expectations. For instance, if you would want to be my barber then you need to have these qualities and requirements:
- Intellectual, likes history and sciences
- Libertarian-leaning (freedom loving, fiscal conservative)
- Interested in film photography
- Likes to surf (I don't really surf but people who do are fun and interesting to be with)
- Eccentric taste in music and films
If you have all or at least even just a few of those qualities then I will most certainly be game for you to be my barber.
I feel like going to the barbershop that's why I wrote this. But it's not really sure. It all depends.
