A Hairy Situation
April 15, 2008I’ve been bald by choice for so many years I’ve actually lost count. A shaved head, I believe, is the look that suits me best.

I mean, I already don’t have much to work with here. Dark skinned, overweight, with a lop-sided smile, that’s me. The bald head at least gives me some attitude. I suppose I’ve just gotten so used to this:
