Ah, well, I play guitar (heavy metal) back in my college days and I had a habit of snapping the bass E string a lot while chugging away. That, along with my slightly crazy playing style, caused my instructor to remark one day, "Jesus Gareth, you're just some type Shred Lord aren't you". It stuck.

When I just started learning to play I was playing in a punk band and each time we practised I'd break that Top E string, each time getting a thicker one still breaking it until the guy at the guitar shop asked me why I didn't put bass strings on so I wouldn't break them as fast.

To which I replied "Why don't I work on my strumming technique so I don't break a string each time we practise for an hour or 2"

I surely worked on it, by now I sadly enough haven't played for about 3 maybe already 4 years, thinking about picking it up again.

My avatar picture was after I got back from the hairstylist and got a totally new cut. My gf who calls me goofball every now and then when I'm being silly thought it was time for me to get a real haircut instead of what I had.

My conversation with the hairdresser went like this.
Me "Hi"
HD "Hello. how would you like it?"
Me "Just make it shorter"
HD "Oke"

I must admit it takes more work now but shaving it all off was out of the question:-)
I know one day she'll tell me to shave it as I'm loosing more and more hair each day.
