Rant

So, I should be able to rant in a blog right? I mean, thats what all of these are for. Blogs I mean. All our personal angst about society. Well, my rants are repetitive. Everyone knows them. They're familiar. I'm comfortable with them.
Right now, mine is about hair. My hair specifically. Its a rebel without a cause and its on my head. I'm going to argue the fact that I am bald and some creature has decided to take up residence on my head. It doesn't know what it wants- much likes its owner. It goes in every direction. Its not soft, or shiny or pretty or anything. Its halfway between curly and wavy. It springs out, rises above itself and sits itself on my head, frizzling out. Its like a skittish cat that spazzes out and arches out at everything. Its some weird, indefinable brown. If it was long itd be an afro, but short its just fluff.
Sure it could be tamed. With a flat iron it looks good. Or with tons of product.
Flat ironing it actually makes it softer.
Whenever people play with my hair, they ask me if I have product in it. "Its so coarse" they say. And my reply is "Yes, I know. And no I dont have anything in it. Thats just my hair the way it is."
Ew.
And they stop playing with it, which makes me extremely sad.
I think they're scared of it. I don't blame them. I'm scared of it.
Whenever I look at it in the morning. Its truely frightening. So I dont do anything about it.
The thing is, I hide beneath my hair. It just sits there. It detracts from my confidence, from my appearance. I need to do something about it.
So. Here is my problem. What to do with it.
I like this--- a lot.

I think thats beautiful. But dreads are so much work. Ugh.
Then I'm just like I should just stay short. But I want to be able to play with it long. Hmmm. I never know what to do with this head of mine. HELP!
