I loved my hair too, but the balding rate would have gotten me to this level in a year

That depends. I considered going bald after I got out of the army, but there were some... hindrances.
1.) I have a somewhat distinctive head shape and that doesn't look so good when bald.
2.) Being about as white as Conan O'Brien and having grey eyes is a bad combination with a bald head in Finland. It quickly leads to misconceptions about being a skinhead.
3.) In winter it's a tad too cold to be bald.

Yeah, it's all about the shape of your head. I have a great shape for not having hair, fortunately. I was a bit worried about looking like an alien or something when I was considering shaving, but then my mom reminded me I was on a Gerber commercial as a baby.. a bald, round headed baby. Apparently the shape of the head is one of the main things they look at for "cute babies" *shrug*
And hell yes I was a cute baby:

Calleja, your picture, she is a red X. So either you're lying to us, or your baby cuteness broke the file.Yeah, it's all about the shape of your head.

I am definitely shaving the noggin if my hairline makes a run for it. I don't car if I look odd bald or not. I'm not playing the comb-over game.
You could just buzz it short too. I still have enough hair for a fade. My hair right now, the way I comb it looks like Bruce Willis' in the Sixth Sense.

I buzzed my head a while back, and while I loved it, I definitely get more attention with it. Even though I do have a hair line receeding much like Mr.Willis and a balding spot on the crown of my head.
I'll be buzzing it down within a year or two again, permantely.

My brother has that Bruce Willis hairline shown above. Once he had his hair cut too short...
It looked like he had and Oreo Cookie sitting on the top of his forehead.

right, no pic.
I'm never going to shave my head. EVER.
Anyhow, my latest batch of pics is from a little while ago. My brother had come t o visit me in China and I never got around to posting them, but NOW I AM. I also added some video. It's not all incredible footage, but I figure, hey, why not? Also there's some Haley video if any of you are interested. I also seem to be a bit bigger than I remember. Huh, fascinating.
S'ok. So my brother came to Shenyang and I ended up taking him to Chang Bai mountain, Tianjin and Beijing. LETS TAKE A LOOK
ALSO NOTE: The videos look like regular pictures for some reason. They dont have a pig PLAY symbol on them. The ones you can click on are the videos (hosted by photobucket). You can tell its a video because it's looks a little grainier than a regular picture.
First, took my bro over to see my school. Earlier that year I had shown my students some videos that my bro had made for CLO (Collegiate Living Organization--at The University of Florda) as an English lesson and they all lined up for his signature..lol.
Said videos can be seen here:

My bro got sick. As a future doctor himself, he was interested to see how things were done in China
Took him to a North Korean restaurant in Shenyang. This is one of the North Korean singers. Fun restaurants. They'll ask you such questions like "Are you allowed to marry foreigners in your country?"

Chang Bai
The little town of Bai He
What a small, middle-of-nowhere place. Ate some North Korean food, saw the sights. Went to a small restaurant with a beautiful young waitress who had never seen a foreigner before. Asked us if we were foreigners. Amy told them my brother was, buy I wasn't. I was just a chinese person with a skin condition. She believed it. I eventually felt bad and told her I was American. Lawl. She ended up getting my brother's e-mail address.

For those of you that don't know, Chang Bai mountain is a dormant volcano and lies on the border with North Korea. Thus Chinese military personnel are stationed there because literally on the other side of the lake is North Korea.
