Lately, I have been struggling with my hair; both on my head and on my chin!!! I got up the week before Christmas on some random day, and decided then and there, that I would no longer shave my head. You have to understand, I have been shaving my head now for the last nine years. That's a lot of shaving cream, blades, cuts, and a lot of hair gone. I guess I wanted to make a change in my appearance, and see if I could actually remember how to groom my hair. God I cannot remember even which way I parted it. So, I let it grow out for about two weeks convinced that I would let it grow out to be long, like metal hair long! Along with my goat, I had a fairly decent looking facial, head relationship going on. Then, I noticed in the mirror last week, that my goat was getting a bit long, so I decided to trim it. Well, I trimmed a bit too much. I had this really short goat, and this Chia Pet looking head...not a good combo. So, I went downstairs in a fury, and shaved my infant head of hair, not realizing that because of such a blast of lengthy growth, my razor was having a difficult time cutting through all that Pet like mass. But, I did it. So, I had a shaved head again, I had this shortly trimmed goat, and my face was very exposed.

You have to understand how difficult this is for a guy who is used to have a long goat, not too mention, that I have been blessed or cursed with the exact profile and oddly shaped neck as my Mother. So, since I am a bigger guy, I have this HUGE neck now, which makes me seem bigger than I really am. I despise the way I look now. I have decided to let the beard come back in, to try and cover that all up, and maybe it will even blend in with the said goat. To this day, I am convinced that I should stay away from trimmers of all kinds. I always cut off too much, and it never looks right. Shitballs! Anyway, I know you ladies cannot relate to my tale of woe, since most of you do not have this facial hair problem or the OCD tendency to shave off all your hair! Well, my friend Nan has recently written about this one hair that keeps resurrecting itself from the folical underworld, and it seems to be pissing her off well. But, that is ONE hair. I wish I had the capacity to grow a long beard fast, but thanks to all the freaky beardless men who have given me my DNA, I now have to wait a long damn time to see another healthy growth around my chin. Even though someone I love claims that I have what appears to be pubic hair growing from my chin, I will grow another beard with pride, with love, and with mucho machismo. It feels like I am 16 all over again waiting for that tell-tale sign that I actually do have testosterone flowing through my somewhat manly body! Why couldn't I have been Greek? Greek boys start growing facial hair when they are like 6...full beard by 10! Damn! More later...
