   Let's face it, guys...
   
   God may be a man (although I prefer to view upon it as an entity), but Nature is a (bitch) woman.
   
   Let's summarize.
   
   I was born.
   And after a while, I started growing hair on my head.
   
   By the time I've reached my teen's I had hair all over my head.
   Then during my teen's, hair started growing in awkward places (underneath my armpits, on my legs and between them)
   This is what you would call "a natural process".
   
   During my 20's, I was a bit thin-haired on the top, but had hair nonetheless (long hair)
   and hair started growing on my chest and on my arms and my face was covered by my beard.
   This was all good.
   
   In general a man has hair a little bit of everywhere when they reach their 30's
   And so do I.
   
   But a while ago (shortly after turning 30), I noticed that not only did I have thin hair on top of my head; No... it was falling off.
   I had a bald spot!
   
   Now, that may not be a big of a deal, you say....
   But for me (and many others), it was like Samson (from Greece mythology); my strength was in my hair.
   With a hair-do, I could tell the world how I felt; ie. "Stylish" (I'm lookin' good); "Roughed up" (Beware); "Bed Hair" (Leave me alone); etc.
   
   Now I had a bald spot, on top of my head and thus I had to wear my "Bed hair" all the time, since it was the only way of covering it up.
   I could go buy myself products for 100's of dollar$, but I can't spend all that much on products, which "may or may not" work.
   
   So what is the solution to all of this?
   
   Well.. If it's good enough to shave my face; it's good enough to shave my head.
   
   The picture I have (at the time of writing) on my profile, shows me with red hair and a hat.
   This is how I want to remember my 20's.
   
   I still have the hat (and will probebly use it, even more nowadays), but from now on (and probably for the rest of my life); I will have to face the fact that "natural causes" of hair-loss is... natural (except for Sean Connery).and I will remain bald as a bowling-ball.
   
   (alot of nonsense, about narcissism; but it is what it is....)

   Your profile pic with the hat and cig look a little like the liner photo in one of David Sedaris's books. Are you familiar with him? If not, I think Santaland Diaries can be viewed online for free. Good starting point for his particular brand of humorous essay.

   haha, well thank you for the history of your hair growth...all the way from the beginning to the end
   
   I like the new look and you can still rock some facial hair to off set the lacking head of hair Hey, at least you're not the dude who hold onto the hair on the side of his head and pulls it back into a mullet
