I've waited too long to update MySpace...

[Captain Obvious]

... and now I know what's going to happen.

I'll admit, I do like the concept of MySpace, that's why I opened an account some years back. And back then, I still had those prescious things called bangs, so it was not an issue for me to post pics of my adorable self on myspace. I had the luxury of hididng underneath my hair at the time. But then as time passed and my hairline started to receed at Mach 1 speed, I became terrified of having my picture taken. They were always awful, with huge glares coming from my ever growing forehead.

So I never brought myself to post pictures on myspace after that...

Now here I am, it's been roughly a year and a half since I've posted a new picture on myspace. In fact, I've only left ONE single picture of myself up. I get comments and messages from my myspace friends constantly asking me "Why don't you post some more pictures of yourself?", "I want to see you". My excuse: I don't have a camera (and I really don't). But these friends, whom I don't see in person regularly, must be getting suspicious. I know they must be wondering what I'm trying to hide.

The frustrating part is that I really do like MySpace and I actually want to become more of a myspace f**. And that entails facing my fear. I'm going to have to start posting pictures again! And I am TERRIFIED!!! I can see the exploding comments now:

"Are you going bald?"
"You look different now."
"You're getting old."

Now I'll have to face the consequences of not updating my pics for so long. If I'd have posted pices all along they would have been able to witness the progression and I wouldn't have to do as much explaining or defending. But now, after nearly two years of unupdated pictures, I'm going to unveil to all my friends the newer, shinier me. And I know that it just might shock them to see the change.

Man, I really hope they're understanding!

Just start a new account dude. Forget those old myspace friends that you have never met in person before. Chances are you will never visit or see them in your lifetime anyway. So is potential negative comments from people you never met before even really worth it? :dunno:

But I know what your going through. I had many hot online female friends that saw old pictures of me. But if they saw new ones, seeing the lack of hair would definitely be a shock to the system. Thats why I rarely internet date.

Man, that's why i never bother with these things anymore. Like you said, the best solution would have been to post pics as the baldness was progressing, but thats gone now so no point dwelling on it.

Anyway, how much hair have you actually lost in 1 and a half years? Maybe they wouldn't even notice.

 

[uncomfortable man]

That is what you get for being involved in that whole frivolous Myspace culture. "Oh, look at me. I'm so pretty. I'm so cool. Don't you want to be my friend. I'm better because I have more 'friends' than you." That site is nothing but a teenage popularity charade for gangsta b****s and emos who want nothing more than to shamelessly exploit themselves. Grow up and get a Facebook account (joking).

Myspaces are cool for cool people. If i had full head of hair i would create MySpace to show to the world who IBM is. Needless to say that i would feel desired and loved. No doubt that teenagers know how to love and enjoy someone. Not like adults.

But anyway i dont need that. I've my faith, family and this great HTL and some other forum. Its everything i need.

What you really need is to learn to accept yourself and eventually even love yourself for who you are. Only then will you truly be ready to love someone who will accept you unconditionally. I'm not saying this is an easy thing to do, but it is possible.

Why you dont accept as you are?

 

[uncomfortable man]

I've been bald for at least six years and I went through the whole grieving, depression, self loathing, shame and even contemplated suicide. It has been a long difficult journey for me but I have come a long way and have learned the lessons that going bald has taught me. I can truly value and appreciate what matters most in life now, the gifts that I have been given like my talent for art and my daughter. I may not like the way I look but at least now I can accept it. I think the important thing to remember is you are not what you look like, which should be common knowledge but still so many people can't separate the two.

What if Rocky Dennis had a Myspace account? How many "friends" do you think he would have?

Rocky Dennis was a smart and humble guy. I wish i had his mental capacity. But this things are not shown on myspace's.

If you've ever seen the movie The Elephant Man, you would know that he too had an brilliant mind and was blessed with talent. These people should not be made to forsake their extraordinary qualities because of their appearance. However, this happens all too often and I think it is tragic.

I saw the movie. That's why i said i would like to have his mind.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Oh, I thought you were talking about Mask, the Rocky Dennis story starring Cher.

MySpace is a cesspool of (social) iniquity; pure chaos, from top to bottom, which, perhaps, is an honest reflection of our times.

Disbanding myself from the MySpace crowd is, I guess, one positive that baldness has granted me.

Oh there's another Rocky Dennis? The one i saw was with Cher.

 

[uncomfortable man]

Alright IBM, lets get this straightened out. There is the Elephant man who lived in the early 1900's. I forget his real name but he was a circus sideshow act and there is a black and white movie about him called elephant man that came out in the eighties. Then there is Rocky Dennis in the movie Mask, which you saw and that movie was also made in the eighties but took place during the seventies.
