I Am Not a Rasta (so I cut my hair)

This video explains why I had dreadlocks and why I decided to cut them off.

Many many thanks to my family and everybody else who put up with me for so long with those things attached to my head - employers, actual Rastafarians, ex-girlfriends, etc.

Special thanks as well to everyone that made this video possible - Harry Mayers, Matt Garrett, Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Alex Viard.

Additional significant thanks to those who supported me during my dreadlock-cutting event and beyond - Colin Staton, Sandy Danto, Dave Kloc (and family), Bruno Tysh + Becky, Trent J, Michael A, Ethan M (you), Katie Westerman, The Birdorfs (thanks for knotting me up), Sara + Whaka, Guzel, Gidget, Ahni, Simone & the whole Urban Tribe.

lmao - well, not all of us dread our hair to feed the ego as you obviously were looking to do, but instead, many of us dread to break down the ego - and it's those of us that don't waste our time and energy worrying about what everyone else thinks. Good luck getting over yourself! Thanks for the laugh. So glad you cut your dreads off! It's sad when people turn beautiful philosophies into fashion statements.

@TaioLuv not all white people with dreads act like this

[TaioLuv]

This is why many will not take white people seriously who wear dreads. This is stupid. I just can't take any white people with dreads serious.
