26 Comments on “This is My “Not Angry, Just Disappointed” Face”

1. I’m sorry.
   I’ll try to do better.
   Really.

2. After reading the post’s title, I thought perhaps this might be in reference to the NH primary. ;) (Just kidding. Unite behind the eventual nominee. That’s the only realistic way out of this mess.)

3. I’m going to print this out and show it to my kids when they do dumb stuff. Fortunatly, they’re pretty bright and good kids, so it might be a bit till they see it. ;)

4. jinx, buy me a coke doppelganger. I got one yesterday. I’m not one for facial hair, what made you decide to not only embrace it but cultivate it?

5. It’s quite a ride.

6. Haircut + February = JoCo Cruise on horizon.

7. Actually it’s because I have business meetings in LA next week, but yes, cruise too.

8. Not a bad disappointed look but Spice does it better. Cats have VERY high standards.

9. Still head and eye contact implies angry, to me. I feel like disappointed needs downcast eyes and a gentle head shake. Of course, this comment is probably earning this expression, either way.

10. You have no business commenting on my life choices. After all, you’re the one that got that haircut, not me.

11. Ooooh, you look *all stern*. Like, and growed-up ‘n’ stuff.

    Nobody’d know!

12. Rockin’ the Eastwood in Gran Torino look quite well.

13. Had that been my haircut, I’d have been just as peeved. And then gone to my regular barber, to have that mess corrected. My condolences to you.

14. What are you, Jay, an asshole?

15. That look reminds me of one of the faces of Rebecca Bunch from the fourth season intro to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, I think the one where they’re singing “and here she looks kind of mean.”

    I disagree with some of the other commenters. This is a perfectly good haircut for the “yes, I’m balding, so f***ing what?” stage of life. There comes a point in many men’s lives where they must choose to embrace hair loss or do something to hide it. The former has integrity and the latter usually winds up looking foolish.

    Even so, I find myself reconsidering my life choices…

16. I hope I had that expression on my face with a now ex-roommate who took my open door policy as a license to do a surprise disposal of 85% of my clothing for alleged personal health reasons.

17. Oooooh, caption game:

    1. “You’re really not buying my book?”
    2. “The question you need to ask yourself is if you are feeling lucky. Well, are you feeling lucky… punk?’
    3. “Athena, do you know anything about that new dent in the car?’
    4. “ I dont always drink beer, but when I do it’s usually Dos Equis.”
    5. Hair club for men, before picture.
    6. “No. I do not wish to apply for the Target Red Card. Thank you.’

18. Okay, so I took your advice and looked hard at my life choices. BIG mistake. And I blame you. (To be clear, I blame you for convincing me to *look* at the choices. I will eventually find out who’s responsible for *making* those choices.)

19. That’s the reason right there why I avoid barbers.
    My hair has thinned considerable since I hit 70+.
    Such a handsome lad you musta taken after your father…. 😳😉😎

20. The “Athena’s Dad” look definitely comes through in this picture. :)

21. My life choices have been just fine, thank you!

22. Overall, I’ve been happy with my life choices so far (wife, kids, possible grandparent within the coming year(s)). But not so happy being a guv’ment employee though.

23. JoJo Cruise? Hope you got insurance, in case they cancel due to Covid-19

24. I don’t know, I saw you in Santa Fe several years ago and I think this look is far better. Besides, you look like someone you don’t want to mess with, or meet in a dark alley. Good look for a business meeting, especially if contracts are the topic of the day.

25. I just found out you will be coming to Boulder in April, so I’m pretty happy about that particular life choice! Looking forward to seeing you and the new book.

26. face gains! you’re looking trim.
