On Going Bald: It's Ok.

The days of my beautiful hair are going and I wanna reminisce about it a little. I've had long hair, I've had pink(supposed to be red) hair. I've had hair so thick it would insulate my head from the beating sun. I know this because in elementary I remember in recess I would touch the top of my head and it would almost burn my hand. (my hair is black) I also remember when I was a kid I could play with it when gel was in it, and it would do some crazy stuff, that was fun.

Whenever I would get haircuts with my mom the barber would always say how awesome my hair was. But now the barber has to struggle just to get a hold of the thin mat on my skull to even trim the tops of it even with the still thick sides of my head.

I went through a phase where it was kind of a scary thing, because I am a little tubby, and I always thought it wouldn't be too bad to be either bald or fat, but when those two are combined it makes people's initial impression of you a little lower by default, and that is a big thing in a competitive world, and dating :). But that's over now.

Now I just go with it,I gotta roll with the punches. I think confidence is one of those things that can make up for a lot. if I just pretend not to care, then I actually won't care because the added confidence of not caring will help me give off better initial impressions and then it will all work out. And who cares anyway if I go bald, as long as my haircut reflects my acknowledgement of my ...disability... then it leaves the observer to realize that "hey they aint nothin he can do bout it" So my goal right now is to find a haircut that reflects this.

My hair is not gone, but your can see down into my scalp rom the top. Eventually I am just going to buzz it off, but what do I do now, because I don't think I'm quite to the buzzing stage yet. I also want to do my hair like that one bald guy from prodigy with the green spiky side-head hair. Anyone got any ideas?
