I used to tuck my sideburns behind my ears when my hair was long, which was a good solution to the bedraggled problem, but having my hair styled by an actual stylist instead of just lopped off like at a barber was rather nice.
I find it odd that people comment on my ghostly pallor, when they usually come from countries where people are so white they don't tan (no offense intended). Is it because I'm from a "tropical" country?
No one buys it when I tell them my heritage for similar reasons. I'm Spanish/Colombian on my dad's side, German/Irish on my mom's. Thus, I'm usually pretty white (with some olive color visible on regularly exposed appendages), but it only takes a bit of sun for me to start getting color. If I burn during the summer, I burn exactly once and then maintain an awesome even tan for the rest of the season. Pros and cons of being a mutt, I suppose.

Likewise. But as quickly as I tan, I lose it quickly unless I'm regularly exposed to sunshine.

That's odd - The vast majority of my genetic history is Irish and Scottish, so by all rights I should burn just hearing about the existence of the sun. But, I rarely burn, I tan rapidly, and even after two years of weak and rare english sun, the majority of me was still darker than pretty much everybody I knew, but for three people - And two of them were Omnutia and his Ma.
Man, you guys think you've got it bad. Joe Boomer is as black as they come, but nobody believes him...
I know that Joe is black everywhere but his heart. Which is kinda grey. I think it's congenital.
This is from my new years eve portrait marathon. It's very rare that I have a photo of myself taken with my camera by someone else. Normally there are either shit photos with someone else's camera, or me turning my camera around and snapping a closeup shot of myself.
Based on how long I had to laugh at this picture, I think it should provide some amusement to others. Also since this is the first time I've posted a picture here besides me in my halloween costume - "This is what the fuck I look like." Some of you should maybe recognize me from the PAX's. I had an awesome umbreon hat.

Still processing my thoughts.
It's really weird having my hair go back to black.
Improved.
My mom just emailed me this. I was Captain Underpants for Halloween in 5th grade.
And here's one of me being a boat captain at night.
And finally me being a badass (part of our engagement pictures):
EDIT: Apparently, a guy getting his hair dyed gets a man-card revoked. Who knew?
My response:
At work, like a gangsta!
