I try to understand the currents, then I know I can master the waves.

Everyone knows the power lies beneath the surface.

for the last two years, i've been going to the same hairdesser, and the reason is he has great taste. so last year when he left his salon in Marina del Rey where he'd been for 11 years, and moved to Ocean Park, i could deal even tho it was farther away (the kiss of death in LA). change is good.

the reason for the move: he'd fallen in love w/ his assistant and wanted the freedom to have that relationship w/o people judging hm. and he's been incredibly happy and madly in love with her since that time, and i've been happy for him. i personally wasn't too sure about her because she looks like she belongs in the Playboy Mansion or on that show Girls Next Door, except she's a brunette. long cascading hair, surrounding a made-up face, with an incredibly full bust practically bursting out of low cut tank tops, and a body hugging mini followed by long thin legs wrapped in skin tight stiletto heeled boots. LA personified and every American male's dream.

and even tho she washes my hair every time, we haven't had much conversation. i just felt we didn't 'have too much in common. i do remember one time she beckoned me to leave the drier and come to the sink, and i asked if it could wait because I was reading an article in Wired, and it was so good, I didn't want to put it down. And she asked "what's Wired?, I've never heard of it". so i naturally assumed she only read US Weekly and People Magazine.

but last week, she was washing my hair and i brought up my daughter and her ex boyfriend and what she was going through during this long drawn out break up. and through her simple words, she blossomed into a full blown moral philosopher and i found myself quoting her both to my husband and my daughter, or more specifically, quoting her father.

His two words that summed it all up:

everything ends

Researchers have found that because time is less fungible -- or less
easily replaced -- than money, losing time tends to be a more painful
event for people, particularly when they think about how they are not
able to make up for it. Another difference is that people feel less
accountable for how they spend their time because it can be more
difficult to measure than monetary outlays. These two characteristics
-- fungibility and ambiguity -- are important differentiators in how
consumers think about time and money.
