STAY SAFE. STAY SHARP
Hey! What Is Up??
This is your proverbial boy Matthew.
As the owner of Castleview Solutions Incorporated (CSI), I am hella excited to be publishing this awesome blog.
F*ck Barberismo is more than a blog. As my boy Johnny has already told you, Barberismo is a lifestyle!
OUT OF THE PANDEMIC, CAME MY TRUE CALLING
What was your experience of Covid-19?
Were you ready for a full out global pandemic !?
Man, I can only tell you the truth, it took me by surprise.
I was not ready for a 100% lockdown.
It surprised me.
It also created a lot of disruptions in my business.
Here at CSI, we have been long time supporters of the Canadian corporate economy. We do corporate services and we are proud of that work.
But during the pandemic, the lockdown and all the rest of it .. well it really got me thinking?
Why do corporate services when we could be doing something to directly help out *real people* like you and me??
I TOOK MY LIFE LONG SHARPNESS FOR GRANTED
These questions got me thinking …
and while I was thinking …
my hair just kept growing longer and longer
man, by mid-March, my hair was really long.
and it was not long in a good way.
it was long in a bad way, if you know what I mean.
I needed a hair cut.
but everything was closed ?
who was going to cut my hair during the middle of a global pandemic??
STAY SHARP
If you have the ability to be sharp, be sharp. Like Nike suggests, “Just do it!”
Backing out of an event or an adventure because you aren’t sharp is the worst move there is.
When I took my question to my hommie Johnny, he gave me some great advice.
He said, “man, just cut your own f*cking hair”.
it blew my mind.
my old paradigms were breaking apart.
Johnny was right. why rely on someone else, someone who may even be a stranger, when I can rely on my own self.
NO EXCUSES!
At first, I had a lot of excuses.
I said to Johnny, “but, Johnny, I don’t know how to cut my own hair.”
..
that is when the magic happened.
Johnny came over to my apartment, and while fastidiously maintaining an appropriate, Johnny showed me how to do it.
He showed me how to master my own sharpness.
Like Johnny says, BYOB offers us confidence, self-control and readiness.
BYOB sharpens our minds, elevates our mood and reduces our stress.
BYOB is a tool for facing the all too real challenges of everyday life.
