[0:00]So, I've decided to do it. I'm cutting
[0:02]my hair, shaving it all off outside
[0:05]right now
[0:08]and tried to make it one inch long. I've
[0:10]never understood these things. I don't
[0:12]know how it does that. It fascinates me
[0:14]to no end. And then I'm going to shave
[0:15]it underneath. I got this little tiny
[0:17]one. 316 of an inch so I can get rid of
[0:21]this ugly gray hair.
[0:24]I grew this out for five or six months
[0:28]and it's just wild.
[0:30]Like my life stabilizes.
[0:34]I'm going to keep it at a certain
[0:35]length, but for now I'm just going to
[0:37]shave it all off. So that's what I'm
[0:38]going to do. Can't show you. Don't know
[0:40]why you'd want to watch anyways, but
[0:43]you'll get to see the end result. This
[0:45]is done. There's all my hair.
[0:49][Music]
[0:55]I don't hate it. Needs to be styled.
[1:00]Can't see the back. Of course, you're
[1:02]going to have to tell me what it looks
[1:03]like.
[1:05]Check my camera later.
[1:11]Not bad.
[1:13]Short again.
[1:15]Look so different.
[1:18]Yeah.
[1:21]needed to happen. Feels clean.
[1:25]Sometimes you just got to cut your hair.
[1:27]Start start over.
[1:34]Maybe I know the Chinese have a thing
[1:36]about hair. This one lady told me once
[1:38]long time ago, decades ago,
[1:41]this starts with new beginnings. I
[1:43]didn't want to cut my hair because I was
[1:46]growing it out on purpose.
[1:49]But also
[1:51]didn't want to feel like I was starting
[1:53]over, but
[1:55]I guess I am.
[1:58]It's good day, by the way. Hope you all
[2:00]are well.
Summary
rswfire decides to cut his hair after growing it out for five or six months. He uses hair clippers outside, first cutting to one inch length, then shaving underneath with a 3/16 inch setting to remove gray hair. He expresses fascination with how the clippers work and notes his life is stabilizing. After completing the haircut, he examines the result and finds it acceptable but needing styling. He reflects on Chinese beliefs about hair representing new beginnings and acknowledges he may be starting over, despite initially not wanting to feel that way.
Signal Analysis
Substrate
This transmission enacts a deliberate somatic recalibration through ritual cutting — a physical severance that marks transition from one field state to another. The act functions as both symbolic threshold crossing and practical reset mechanism, with the field using embodied action to process stabilization and renewal simultaneously.
