Big Don's Blog

At last, a place for me to ruminate and offer my own stylistic, sincere, and silly ideas.

Hair

‘Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair…”

Mona has declared the word of the day as “Hair”. Now, I don’t have a head full of hair, because of my high testosterone level (thanks Grandpa!). My body makes up for it everywhere else, it seems.

What is curious is that last night, before I read Mona’s blog, I was thinking of that very song from the 60’s musical. It popped into my head after hearing “Aquarius” on a TV commercial. Yes, Madison Ave is still going back to our ‘Baby Boomer” roots. On the upside, there was some very good music written back then. But, again, I digress.

Although I am relatively comfortable with my baldness, I do often wonder what I would look like with a full head of hair, like in my youth. I started loosing my hairline when I was 20, and have had the recession continue ever since. Still, I have never felt that it kept me from being liked and/or loved. I never wanted to do the comb-over, so that has not been an issue. I had a professor in college who did the comb-over and I realized that it did look ridiculous.

Anyway,

There once was a woman so fair
With beautiful long blonde hair
She wore it around
In lieu of a gown
Which made all of the men stare.

(Yeah, I good!)

I'm back with a MEME...

A MEME from someone I really like and appreciate. (Lisa, may your days be filled with love and inspiration.)

1. I've come to realize that my last kiss.....
Was missing something: it was too platonic.

2. I am listening to.....
My local radio station on-line.

3. I talk.....
to myself a lot, these days. Loneliness can be disturbing. I need a hobby.

4. I love.....
myself and a few others. I am not so easily seduced as I once was and I reserve thoughts of real love (vs. lust) until I am really sure.

5. My best friend.....
lives in another state. I need a new one.

6. My first real kiss.....
was in a parked car with a girl who knew more about such things than I did.

8. I hate it when people ask.....
obvious (rhetorical) questions.

9. Love is.....
difficult to define, usually unrealized, and a seed that must be nurtured.

10. Marriage is.....
love with compromise.

11. Somewhere, someone is thinking.....
that they could be the next millionare by buying magazines.

12. I'll always.....
look for attention and affection. (I can be very needy!)

13. I have a crush.....
on bloggers who I have not even met in person.

14. The last time I cried was because.....
I was missing my father.

15. My cell phone.....
has a Jimi Hendrix ring tone.

16. When I wake up in the morning.....
I look for motivation to get out of bed and go to work. Sometimes sleeping in makes more sense than going to a place where I don’t feel like I am making a difference.

17. Before I go to bed.....
Take my Metamusel, brush my teeth, and then wonder how long I will be sleeping alone.

18. Right now I am thinking about.....
What other things I can be doing to look busy at work.

19. Babies are.....
The most enchanting things in the world. I can’t wait to be a Grandfather.

20. I get on myspace.....
to laugh at those who actually have accounts.

21. Today I.....
made a few people smile and helped a few others with getting their job done.

22. Tonight I will.....
Go buy Turbo Tax software and start entering data.

23. Tomorrow it will be....
better because I will have learned something, helped someone, or experienced something that will make me a better person.

24. I really want to be.....
immortal.

25. Someone that will most likely repost this is.....
That is a good question.
