Yep thats right, it actually happened. Let the record show that COLBY MCHUGH CUT HIS HAIR OF HIS OWN FREE WILL. Normally, I wouldn't be making a big deal out of this at all, but it seems that it is in fact quite a huge deal (at least according to all the people who no longer recognize me, which is a little too many for my comfort). People keep asking me, "What made you cut it?" and I always give them the same answer: "It was just the right time, I guess". That's really the only way I know how to describe the decision. I figured I'd played around with the long hair for a while, and now people had begun associating Colby McHugh with long hair. What mean when I say that is that having hair became all I was to everyone around me and nothing more. I didn't like that. So, I figured the best way to deal with that was to just cut it without telling anyone, and then see their reactions one by one. I must say, it was quite entertaining watching friends look at me and do triple takes before they realized it was me. What's funny to me is the fact that, up here at MTSU, people don't even know what to think of me with short hair and back home in Atlanta, I'm back to normal in their eyes. Its backwards almost. Whatever, I'm sick of talking about it at this point.
One thing I'm NOT sick of talking about is music, of course. I've really been listening to a super talented singer/songwriter from Minneapolis named Matt Moberg. The first thing that got me about him was his unique voice. The only person I can think of that he really sounds like is a guy named Joshua James, who I talked about in a post a while back. The second thing that got me was his great songwriting. He tells stories and paints pictures with his songs, which is something that I've always enjoyed and appreciated in writers. Anyways watch these videos, and let me know if you like him as much as I do. Oh yeah, I almost forgot! His EP is FREE on Noisetrade.com! There, now there's no excuse to not go out and get his music! Enjoy!
