LINK: LOGAN ARROW
February 19, 2026
Usually when I'm late for anything, there is a good reason for it. If I am not taking care of business for my dad, I'm helping Boss out with something.
Today I messaged Logan letting him know I would be available around 1:30pm. Yes I did my usual routine with Boss to make sure he was set for the day. Yes I took care of some business regarding my dad. The time I took cutting my hair and shaving should have been last priority.
I like both looks. I like the hairy bearded mountain man look. After a while it gets old. It is time to enjoy the semi clean shaven to clean shaven version of me.
I don't like keeping the same look all the time. It drives me crazy. It is more than the "look." It is where my mind is. The journey I am on at the time. I cannot tell you how many Black men and women with beautiful locs I have complimented and admired in just the last week. There's even a White guy at the grocery store with them. Not bad but definitely not as strategically sectioned and twisted.
Yes. I am pretty sure I will start that journey again. But for now I have to get all this shit off me!
It wouldn't have been so bad if I would have cut my hair earlier in the morning. But as usual I have my routine with Boss. It is already 1:15pm.
"I am getting ready to cut my hair and shave. I will meet you around 2pm," I message him.
I finish up and know for certain I have to take a shower. Yesterday's funk is burning my nostril hairs. This heat gives no leeway for going a day without washing these pits. Let's not even get on the man bush and funky butt. Yes it is close to 2pm already.
Logan was with a friend that I really wanted to meet. They waited. I didn't get there until 2:30pm.
They had been in Old Sac since about 1:15pm. I missed out on meeting his friend.
Although Logan didn't make much of a deal out of it, I couldn't help but think he was disappointed. I was disappointed in myself.
He did seem a little less energetic as usual. I couldn't help but to think that is my tardiness. "I'm sure he is tired of me always pushing things back. Usually my reasoning is valid. But today it's because I wanted to cut my hair?
We did check out a new bowling alley/arcade close by. They didn't have the much there that caught either of our attention. But I do order a burger and fries that's to die for. Delicious in every kind of way imaginable.
We did chat for a while. I could have totally misread his body language. Maybe he was genuinely tired from the night prior and just needed a nap. Maybe he was a bit disappointed that I missed out on the opportunity to meet his friend. And then it could have been a little of both. I do know this 90 degree heat drains the hell out of me. This is just March. We haven't reached the triple digits yet.
I am not sure what tomorrow will bring. I do know he will be leaving. Hopefully I can catch him just long enough to do something with him tomorrow.
Oh no, he wasn't nearly as up for the meeting as either of us were. It seemed at first that he was just a little nervous but up for it but then he literally went the other way to get to the bus stop after we left the restaurant due to not liking the idea so you weren't at fault for it not happening. Also I did notice the clean-shaven look (which you also do very well) but didn't comment since three hours of sleep. Plus your reasons are valid so no problem there.
