Now before you go thinking I was all vain and stuff, those of you acquainted with me long-term know I generally get my hair cut once, maybe twice, a year. During that time there are 4 or 5 points (lengths really) that I usually say to myself, &#8220;Hmmmmm, I like that look, I should remember it.&#8221; So since it was one of those moments and I had my cellphone in hand, I thought <em>Why not a selfie for posterity and to show my stylist next time I get a cut.<\/em> Simple right?<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s the deal. It turns out that the fact that your eyes only point one direction and maintain a constant relationship with your mirror self means that your everyday &#8216;self-view&#8217; as seen in the mirror isn&#8217;t at all related to how you actually look. How do I know this? Because I took like 30 pictures from a million angles and none of them look like me. None. They are all pictures of some other guy with bad hair. In the end I could only assume that the only way the picture would turn out the way it actually was (i.e. the way I saw it), was if I held the camera right in front of my face, lining up the lens exactly with my eyes and using the obviously correct pov. So I did. Life is weird.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322-278x400.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4322\" width=\"278\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322-278x400.jpg 278w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322-104x150.jpg 104w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322-713x1024.jpg 713w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4322.jpg 1725w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>I don&#8217;t look like this<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335-277x400.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4335\" width=\"277\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335-277x400.jpg 277w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335-104x150.jpg 104w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335-708x1024.jpg 708w, https:\/\/macblaze.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_4335.jpg 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>This is what I look like<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror the other day and liked my hair.
