Bald Heads and Sunburns

sheesh, sorry its been ages since i've been on this thing. a guy gets busy ya know.... :)

so i shaved my head a couple weeks ago cause i thought it'd be nice during the summer months. plus i was beginning to feel like a bit of a pansy and needed an image makeover to re-establish my manhood. off the hair goes! didnt really like it at first to be honest. i thought "crap, now i have to wait 5 months for it grow back. not a mistake you can easily remedy." but the look grew on me, even tho my head hasnt seen the sun in years so it was a little pasty. a couple days later we had a softball game and then went to a park to enjoy the beautiful day that it was. ah yes, the perfect situation to get some rays on my dome! so for about 4 hrs i was out and about soaking up the u.v.'s

later that night.....

wow, my head is on fire. its a little sensitive to the touch. didnt think a whole lot about it. the next day at church i feel my head and notice some liquid. yes, my scalp was leaking a yellowish, nasty secretion that i didnt like..... not one bit. so for the rest of the day i kept wiping it off and was extremely self conscious about it. but maybe a cold shower that night and everything will be okay. not so. the next day i wake up to see my pillow case dotted with the slime. crap! and now i'm supposed to go to work and show everyone how sick i look? so i show my boss (i wore a beeny) and she told me to go to the health center cause it was probably burned really bad. i "head" over there and sure enough, the guy tells me its pretty bad. at this point the said discharge was hardening on top of my head and made it look like i had pieces of a yellow jelly beans stuck on it. so he tells me i now have a significantly increased chance for skin cancer cause its burned so bad. great, just the news i was looking for to start my week. i re-shape my image by shaving my head and am excited about getting some sun, now they tell me i may die by weeks end!!!

he gave me some cream and i'm on my way. the next couple days proceed much the same: head gets leaky, i wipe it off, then it hardens into something sick. eventually that gives way to the peeling. not quite so embarrassing as having liquid solidify on your head, but still not attractive. but finally, after a full week the dead skin falls off and my scalp looks normal again. sheesh, what an experience! never again will my little head be subjected to such excruciating nastiness! lesson learned fo 'sho

i would've taken pictures but i didnt want to have evidence of this sick grossness
