Hair Journey Thing

So i know it has been a while but I am back to write about this new thing that I want to embark upon. I was bored on Monday night and couldn’t sleep so I decided to get online like any other 21 Century person would. I don’t know how or why but I ended up looking for ways to grow my hair by using Google, and I came across this kid Dmac Version 1 on Youtube and decided to give his hair journey videos a watch. Even though I am bummed that it is going to take like a year for my hair to grow into a giant afro it should be worth it at the end. I figured I would do this thing just to get a giant afro for all of the sporting events I attend, but as I sat down over the last few days I have realized some things. I think that through this process I will be forced to be in situations and in areas where black people meet and congregrate.  I know I know, I look like I would be okay being there but I usually am never in the company of other Super tan American’s such as myself. I don’t really socialize that well unless they are like me. One thing that I have noticed is that I don’t care what anyone thinks of me and I will be Alec all day every day. A lot of time im seen as weird or crazy because I am not afraid to be myself in any situation. One big thing in the African American community is showing that you are a man and not afraid of anyone. That is just a weird concept to me…

Any ways I feel that this journey will do one major thing for me…. MAKE ME FINISH SOMETHING!!! If I can stick with this I may be able to also stick with a workout schedule and maybe even move forward with a business idea or an invention! I have tons of ideas all of the time and I can put them on paper but I never go anywhere with them; mainly because of my own lack of knowledge.  Well anyways I have started this thing and it has been 3 days so far and I am still going strong! Yay Me!
I will try and update this journey and experience as often as things happen and on a monthly basis with photos of my hair growth.

Tulip

This ones for the people who just sit idly by
the ones who never got to laugh and only made to cry
the ones who who held your head on that long night
the ones who held you close, safe, warm, and tight
Those people who were genuine and cared for you
that person who noticed every little thing you do
the ones who both hate and love to see you smile
the one who maybe hasnt been around for a while
that single, happy spark in your life at the right time
when just that persons voice could make you smile
this is for that guy that grits and bears it everyday
this is for that girl who sits by and waits for you to say
Say that you noticed their patience and see their pain
and that you've come now to change their loss into gain
to reciprocate their hidden a buried emotions
to believe in them and concede to their notions
but that will never come to pass
so they will continue to sit and amass,
these emotions that they feel for you
and fantasize of dreams not true.
Friends are great and friends are awesome
and it can be better if friendship can blossom.

:)
