Another year older...and I'm bald!

Okay, the two aren't actually related. Hmm...unless I'm going senile...but I digress. I just happen to have shaved my head the day after my birthday. But I'll get into that later.

My birthday was November 2nd. I'm now the ripe old age of 32. I know that in about 20 years or so I'll look back on these days and realize just how young I was, but for now; I'm feeling every one of the 32 years I've walked this earth. Well, I crawled and fumbled around the earth for the first year or so, but...still. You know what I'm saying.

On to the bald thing. It just so happens that I'm rather thrifty with my money, and I used to cut my own hair (fairly well, I might add) for years. So last Friday, I decided instead of going to the er, haircuttery that I've gone to for the past 4 or 5 years, I'd trim my hair myself. I had a thick head of hair at this point, and my wife was strongly hinting that I needed to get it cut.

Well.

I didn't have hair clippers handy, so I used my adjustable beard trimmer, intending only to thin out the sides and back of my hair. The trimmer guard got full of hair rather quickly, so I took the guard off to clean it out, and er...I forgot to put the guard back on when I resumed "trimming"....

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Gone was a wide strip of hair on the side of my head. Revealed was my pale scalp which hadn't seen the sun since 1975.

There was nothing left to do but go all the way. So I am now bald, and you know what? I kind of like it. My wife doesn't necessarily want me to keep the look, but she sure does enjoy rubbing my head, and I can't complain about that, can I?
