Day 220: promises

As reminded a few days ago, I promised to upload a video of me cutting my own hair with the Comb ‘n Cut.  I have not forgotten.  I’ll try to make some time tomorrow to edit what I currently have (so you won’t have to watch 10 minutes of me cutting with no comments in real time) and maybe record a short epilogue (as the video currently cuts off rather abruptly).

I don’t make promises that often, because I feel terrible when I break them.  The word carries with it such heavy connotation that it’s hard not to think of all the weight I put onto myself when I make a promise.

While there’s no physical or material loss for breaking a promise, I always assume that a broken promise (no matter how big the promise is or how it was broken) will result in a loss of trust that will be hard to regain.

Maybe that isn’t true.  Maybe people don’t take the idea of promises as grandly as I do.  Still, words are important.  A firm handshake, a promise, a sincere glance.  All of these may not hold up legally in court, but they hold up in my court.

My honor court.  My hourt.
