Shaved head

I shaved my head today, not bald but close. I find it strange how it's a subtle shock every time I look in the mirror. Like I'm not ready for it all to be off. I've done this a lot before and you'd think I'd be used to it. ... But I'm boring myself writing about my hair. I love that. "So what's your blog about?" someone might ask. I'll say well so far I've written a brief hello and a little about my hair.
Well what am I supposed to write about, anything. I say that more for me, than you. I have to keep reminding myself that there is no point. I can write whatever I feel.
Here's something the moved me today. I hear a story on npr about a little boy in Africa born with AIDS. He was the oldest boy in Africa born with AIDS, he was 11. The moving thing is how the interviewers talks about the boy and during the interview he [the interviewer] wants to stop because he can tell the boy is losing his strength. But the boy won't let him he wants to talk about death to him. He's not afraid of dieing. That's not unusual, people whoa re sick and have had to face death for a long time have become a custom to the thought of death. What stuck me what the boys mantra. He said, comming form a boy who's very very weak and the thinnest person alive, he said "to do the best you can with what you're given, in the time you have, where you are." I think that touched me because I've been thinking about how I cannot effect large things in life (I'll elaborate more later) but for example the election or something along those lines. I got upset when the election didn't come out as I was hoping. I felt upset because I did everything I could, talked to people, etc, but it didn't help. Or rather it didn't change the out come. So I began to realize that I don't make an impact on the world as a whole but I do make a big impact on the people immediately around me. My wife, for example, if I were to come home in a bad mood I could put her in a bad mood. So it's all in perspective. My importance in life. I'll have to expound on that more later... it will always be more later. The thought are coming in my head too fast for me to type.

…and then they are gone.
