Last night I sat and watched a movie with my wife…
“House Bunny”.
And I seriously thought about asking a large man to take a metal pipe to my head rather than see this train wreck of a movie to its end.
But then I thought of my wife and kids, and realized that I had quite a bit to live for, and the resulting facial contusions left by a brutal bludgeoning would have a lasting effect on my employ-ability, and in turn, the higher education of my children.
So in an effort to regain some perspective, today I offer the video from last week’s St. Baldrick’s shaving event. It’s no House Bunny, but I have to believe it helped some kids somewhere, and so did all of you. This isn’t an exciting video, but I hope you…feel it.
Props to Summer for letting me post whatever I wanted today…I hope you all enjoy this video of my removing my hair, like Samson before me. Ok…maybe since I don’t work out, this isn’t a good comparison.
That was a wonderful video Jay! It was fun looking at all the hair on the ground! And i loved that your kids were right up front to see.
Hope you do it again next year!
that gave me goosebumps! nice job, and so great your kids were right there with you to see the joy of “giving back”
Awesome job!
Next year go for the double whammy – grow out your hair and shave it for St. Baldrick’s. Donate to Locks of Love! (Like how I suggest YOU do this and not myself?)
So sweet! What a great event!
Loved the video! Very cool!
AWESOME!
That is amazing. All those people participating!
Simply awesome! You’re the best.
I think your kids will be forever touched and impacted by the experience (as will so many of us)
Awesome!
That was awesome! Seriously, brought tears to my eyes. Whoever was on the mic had some pretty amazing things to say.. very inspiring!
Yay! I wish you had offered to shave the guys hair who was doing yours. I think he needed to jump in on the fun. Way to go Jay!!
So wonderfully excellent.
I’m without words. Really. Just thinking of the little ones…
this is a great cause.
Want to know something terrifying?
I had to watch it TWICE.
Torture.
i actually was going to rent house bunny…i guess i’ll pass. good advice..
love the hair shave…uber fab.
What a good man you are.
Jay you are truly a Saint. what an awesome contribution you have made to St. Baldrick’s but also the example and hopefully the seed you have planted in the minds of your kids as well as your may Bloggy followers of the importance of this cause. ( I shaved right with you for the karma factor)
Woo–hoo!! That was great to watch
It was neat to see your kids watching too–you are teaching them to give and the importance of charity
My husband is 1/2 bald–I wonder if he could join next year?
Wow, I can’t believe there were women shaving their heads too! That is something I don’t think I could do. Good for you and your bald head!
How stinkin’ cool was that. Your kids are so cute, too.
