Everyone:

Life update.... my head looked like this about a week ago..

I've been shaving my head since I was your age (15). That's 13 years of no hair on my dome... that being said, I haven't been able to shave due to the cut/staples/scab/healing process... I can't wait to get rid of this mop... I don't even own shampoo... anyway, enough of the funny stuff. Time for real, meaningful, stuff... see below.
