Okay I'm going to lay it on the line when I say I'm not a natural bald dude but a dude that was forced into the bald club for men. It all started 4 years ago when my barber said, "Yea man I give you like a year and you are gonna have a bald spot right here". I can remember his pointer finger coldly circling the top of my head like a Sergeant in the war room circling the area of attack on a huge map of the free world. I was in denial of course until one day while at the mall trying on some shirts I stood in one of those 3 sided mirrors where you can see all angles and..... WTF! I was looking at a George Jefferson starter kit on the top of my dome! I felt like I had been going through life with my zipper down all this time. I had a nice shape up and well groomed haircut but on the top i was missing the full head of hair I was so used to having. But what the heck I accepted the cards I was dealt and said okay it's time to go bald MANUALLY. So I cut it off and actually was quite comfortable with the look. But then it made me notice so many other men who for whatever reason just couldn't let go. Some had the wavy or curly hair and probably got attached to the compliments of having "good" hair. Others were probably caught up in the corporate make up where being bald is seen as threating or too much like a skin head if you're Caucasian. This is B.S. I see the worst comb overs, hair implants and toupees on public transportation. I'ts like they feel as though 6 1/2 strands of hair can cover the void that used to house lush fields of filamentous biomaterial. I won't even lie I have had vivid dreams of having long hair and wake up like damn, it was all a dream LOL. We are a very swollen headed society and due that fact company's prey on our lack of self love. So that translates into more Rogain being pumped into the oceans due to our mass consumption of Minoxidil and other hair products. Now everyone may not agree and some may even wish that we lost armpit hair or that needless hair from our butt cracks before our hairlines recede and our bald spots proliferate but hey it's genetics. Live with or without it. If your going bald get Tupac on'm and shave it all off. Steve Harvey had to come out of the Hair Closet after years of wearing a perfectly formed top piece. This is just a thought off the top of my head, bald is the new ________.
Peace Out!
Doc
