It's ONLY hair.........




SO, as some of you know, I shave my head about once a year, and keep it for a couple weeks/months sometimes.

Today, I shaved the bangs off my head. So I am an official "space monkey" again. It's the best.

I have had more dirty looks in the last 5 hours for my shaved head, than I did the whole time I lived in Philadelphia.

California, the land of hippies and progressive thought.....yeah right. People muttering "dyke" "THAT girls not straight" and the ever lovely "Look at that, ehh."

It's HAIR, just HAIR. It grows back, and I just don't understand why people need to pass judgment on the kind of person that I am or my sexual orientation because I have a particular hair style.

Chadron Nebraska.....town of less than 3,000. People were less offended by my noggin THERE than here in San Diego. People have been down right rude to me here. Passive-aggressive comments from insecure people. Some how, my hair style bothers them so much that they feel the need to be rude to me.

What i don't understand is why people have an issue with a female with a shaved head. I don't even have it CLEAN shaven. It's about 1/8th inch. I feel clean when my head is like this. I feel strong. I feel efficient and noble.

I happen to LIKE the way that I look when I have my hair like this. I think I look beautiful. I feel that people really have to look at ME when I am like this.

and now.....a brief intermission..................RAWK!




And also......PAIN-Ting.......yep. I have been makin some pain'tin lately. Kinda making a mess to be honest but that is what one does, right? Make a mess......

I love the recently released from prison look! See, you DO miss Philly. As for Califascistfornia, you're in San Diego which I believe is REAGAN country for pete's sake. GET OUT! COME BACK EAST! WE MISS YOU!
