Okay, so, you won’t believe what I did today. I finally took the plunge and chopped off my hair! Yeah, you heard that right, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the guy known for his, uh, colorful locks, is now sporting a short haircut. It’s a big change, and I’m still getting used to it, but I figured, why not share the whole experience with you all?
So, it all started a while back. We, the Blue Jays, we’ve been kinda in a slump. I mean, we are below .500, and losing two games straight to the Red Sox? That’s rough. And honestly, I was feeling the weight of it, both on the field and off. I needed a change, something to shake things up, you know?
I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror, and saw those long, dyed strands. And I thought, “It’s time.” Time for a new Vladdy, a fresh start. Maybe a fresh haircut will bring a fresh mindset, and a fresh mindset will bring better results on the field. I don’t know, but I was willing to try anything.
I called up my barber, the one I trust with my hair, and told him what I wanted. He was surprised, to say the least. I mean, I’ve had this long hair for a while now. It’s kind of been my signature look. But he got it. He understood I needed this, not just for my look, but for my game too. We got to work, and snip, snip, snip. It felt like hours, but it was probably just a regular haircut time, honestly.
Then, he held up the mirror. The change was drastic. I barely recognized myself. I’m not gonna lie, I was shocked, and a bit nervous. But you know what? I felt…lighter. Like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, literally. And it wasn’t just the hair.
Here’s how it went down:
- The Decision: Woke up, felt the slump, decided it was time for a change.
- The Call: Called my barber, told him I was ready for the big chop. He was surprised but supportive.
- The Cut: Sat in the chair, watched as my long, dyed hair fell to the floor. Felt like a whole new person already.
- The Reveal: Looked in the mirror, saw the new me, felt a mix of shock and relief.
I went to practice, and man, the reactions from my teammates were priceless. Some of them didn’t even recognize me at first! Hazel Mae, she interviewed me about it, and I told her how I felt this could be a step in developing my game, getting my head straight, you know? And of course, Twitter and Instagram blew up. Everyone’s talking about the “New Vladdy Haircut”.
The fans? They’re the best. I got tons of messages, mostly positive. Some are sad to see the old hair go, but most are just excited about what this means for the team, for me. They understand that sometimes, you gotta switch things up to move forward. I even saw some comments about how handsome I look with short hair. And hey, I ain’t complaining about that!
But it’s not just about looks. It’s about how I feel. And I feel good. I feel ready to take on whatever comes next, on the field and off. This haircut, it’s a symbol of a fresh start, a new chapter. I’m excited to see where it takes me, and I hope you’ll all be there to watch it unfold. And you know what’s also great? My two little daughters, Vlaimel and Vlaishel, they seem to love it! Nathalie, my wife, she’s been real supportive too. We’ve been together for over five years, got married last March, and she’s always been there for me, through thick and thin. It’s good to have her by my side, especially during times like these.
So, yeah, that’s my story. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. cut his hair. It’s a small change, maybe, but it feels big to me. And I’m ready to embrace it. Let’s go, Blue Jays!
