A Hairy Situation

April 15, 2008

I’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. And then of course there are the inherent advantages to being bald. I never had to worry about how my hair looked because it was impossible to get it messed up. As such, I never had to contend with the dizzying array of hair products available now. I never had to go to a salon. Any good ol’ barber could cut my hair and they could only go wrong if they shave off a small chunk of my scalp. In fact, I didn’t even go to the barber shop all that often because I could shave off my own hair with my trusty Gilette Mach 3. Simply put, I like being bald. It’s awesome. Think about it, some of the most awesome men in history were bald. There’s Michael Jordan, Samuel L. Jackson, Winston Churchill, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Professor Charles Xavier just to name a few. 

I was supposed to get my head shaved last weekend because I haven’t had time to actually shave it myself and my hair’s gotten too long for my Mach 3 to handle. But then, my lovely wife asks me to grow my hair long again. She wants me to keep growing it until next year. Now you have to understand why this is rather disconcerting. I mean, I’m not going to deny Jen of such a simple request. Thing is, the complications of having hair actually worries me a bit, not to mention the fact that I doubt I’d look good with hair. 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:

that I am reluctant to look like this:

 or possibly this:

Okay, so I probably won’t look that horrific…But it can’t be too far off now can it? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Or grow a beard. Chick dig the upsidedown-head look!

If the dame insists, sport a mohawk!

So I see that Jen has changed her mind. Good thing, cos it’s going to be aaaawkward. I’ve seen the Chrizo with too long hair for a shaved head and it looked funneh.

The second picture was the funniest! :P It reminded me of some actress in our local horror movies! hahahaha

@Sexy Nomad, Thanks babe! I will when I get the chance. The weird thing is now, I’m kinda curious how I will look if I do grow my hair again.

@Steel, The last time I grew kids got scared of me they actually cried. And this was in church.

@Helga, I can only hope to look “funneh” if I grow my hair back. I’m expecting to look a little, “Heedeyoos.”

@Maki, I actually thought I looked like a dark skinned Japanese pro wrestle…wait! ACTRESS?!!! WTF?

the things men do for women nga naman, oo. hehehe

P.S. Jen’s request sounds so similar to my own request to Schroo hehehe.

I bow before the master.

Peace.

@Van It’s been way too long iha! Glad to see you blogging again!
.
@Ozy, Much more to teach you I still have young padawan.
.
@Jaywalker, Actually, my hair grows at an alarmingly fast rate. I’d say half a year to grow it long enough for a ponytail. Also, NEVER going to happen.
.
@Boying, Say what now? You look like you’re making sense but really, you’re making no sense. Ok so maybe a little. No sense at all. Ease off the happy grass sir and try again. Thanks for dropping by. Good day and blog on!

HAH! That’s funny. Yes, baldness adds identity. Plus, a good cover-up when one could possibly lack hair the natural way ;) lol

And come on, dark skin adds identity too! I should know oh so well about that one =P

OH! You forgot ONE more character with the bald look going for him. LEX LUTHOR!!!

=D

Who I am

 

Hi. I'm Adam Mordo, the Human Walrus. As such, I have a natural affinity for water. Needless to say, I love the ocean and I'm crazy about the beach! Just give me sand, surf and beautiful weather and I'm happy as a clam. I'm a frustrated writer, an amateur photographer, a wannabe surfer and washed up fencer. I'm a hard worker (at least my boss thinks so) a good friend (as my friends would say...well I made them say that but...) and a business mogul in training (mwehehehe). I believe that normalcy is boring but I accept that it is a neccesary evil. I believe that friendship is stronger than distance, that fact is stranger than fiction and that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. I believe that happiness is, more than anything else, a choice. And as cheesy as it may sound, I still believe that love conquers all.
