Hey.
I realize my posts here are really sporadic, and I apologize for that. I'm on summer vacation now, but I'm still pretty busy with personal projects and some other things. Still, I'll try to post a bit more from now on. I do lurk frequently, but it's more of a skimming than anything else. I feel bad, because there's been a number of excellent updates in the not-too-distant past.
Anyway, here are some random pictures. My hair is still around shoulder-length when curly, but it's nearly mid-back when wet. Kind of depressing, really....I almost let a girl straighten my hair once just to feel what having all that hair would actually be like. I'm glad I didn't, though. Curly hair is fragile enough as is.
Well, enjoy. :)
Oh. Not that it matters, but if anyone's wondering, yes, I'm heterosexual. I've gotten some strange emails from lurkers on this site before regarding "hair play" and the like, and I don't appreciate it. Non-stalker-ish emails are fine, though. :P
Pondering life, with uncombed bed head.
My yard is a forest....
My Hawaiian sarong/lavalava. Everyone tells me I look like a Polynesian when I'm wearing it, so it's all good. :D
Not sure what was going on here, lol...but, yes, my eyelids are blue. You haven't lived until you've turned your eyelids blue (and not from being viciously punched, either). I figure if this stuff offends people, they need to loosen up.
I guess you could call these darker moments of mine. I know the outside appearance doesn't make me "goth" or any such thing, and considering how I dress most of the time, no one would think I was one at first glance, anyway; but, on the inside, I'm not very far away from what could be called "goth." I guess. Anyway....
A handgun to my head.
Enjoy heartily.
Wonderful curls!
Thank you!
Peace
Awesome update dude! That first photo is very artistic with the sunlight hitting your hair.
I know it takes patience with hair as curly as yours but even if it's not immediately apparent how long it's gotten, just the sheer mass of your hair is very impressive in its own right. Eventually gravity will win out and I would think your curls will expand into ringlets.
Thanks, man!
I hope so. I already have a few small ringlets in the back. As to the sheer mass of hair I have, I think it's impressive, but my mom thinks it's something quite different. Sigh....
Peace, dude.
Wow, some very artistic pics. You have a great sense of play and mood to them :) And is your hair ever thick and awesome now! Though I am sure its frustrating that everyone can't see how long it really is, but you know anyway :)
Fantastic look
Thank you very much. Indeed, do I ever know. :)
Thanks. This means a lot coming from you, an mlhh celebrity in your own right.
Peace
Very cool Pics Fallen Angels! It's amazing how much spring there is in curly hair.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Thanks! Ha, is there ever spring. Metaphorically speaking, I'm hoping for some summer soon....
Peace, and keep it growing yourself!
Hi Fallen angels
Your pictures are cool you look great in them,Margie
Thanks a lot. Appreciated. :)
Peace
Hi Jonathan,
Your pictures this update are great. I really did heartily enjoy the picture of your back yard in its jungle-esque grandeur. Those are some great looking Caribbean plants. Your hair is looking fantastic, and to me at least, visibly longer. The slept-on hair picture looks the longest since with me too when the curls are smashed flat during the night, they look longer. All your pictures capture your sense of panache which I think is so interesting.
I certainly hope too that your semester finished out well and that your summer is fun-filled.
See you later, Bragi
Hey, Matt.
Thank you for your kind words, both about my hair and my backyard foliage (although the two can be mixed up from time to time, at least according to my parents in their more deliciously reactionary moments :P). Bedhead usually extends my hair in the wrong directions, but this time, it decided to not be unkind. And, wow, panache. Delightful diction.
Yes, I survived my semester. Thanks for inquiring. I didn't do as well as my previous semesters, but overall, I didn't do too badly at all. I'm just disappointed that it's taken me nearly two years of college to develop a work ethic and to truly appreciate the ocean of knowledge I'm being allowed to wade into.
May your summer be fun-filled as well.
Peace, friend.
Those are some healthy curls you got there! I think it's better that you didn't let her straighten it although once probably wouldn't prove to be much damaging (yet again you're right that curly hair is more fragil than straight)
Anyway, natural is most of the time the best! Keep it growing, 2 more years or less it will be midback curly and to the ground straight lol :P
Thanks, man! Yeah, I know once isn't too bad, but I'm still nervous about it.
Haha, I hope so. My mom doesn't, but you can't win them all.
Peace, dude.
looks good bro keep it growing! my hair is naturally wavy, thick and a little curly when it gets really long so yea gotta watch out from using the straigtner myself lol
Hehe, thanks, man. Trust me, your hair looks way easier to manage than mine. You don't need the straightener that much. :)
Peace
Great to see you're still around, Fallen Angels. The curls look awesome and that scenery is spectacular! Boy are you lucky! =) Keep up the growth and hope you do continue on for another 2 years. That'll be unbelievable!
-James
Thank you very much, James. I'm hoping my hair keeps growing for another two years as well; by then, hopefully, I'll at least be closer to my goal of being at waist-length with my curls unstretched.
Peace
Hi Fallen_angels,
Welcome back, it is great to see you back on the hyperboard again. Your hair is looking genuinely AWESOME, those curls are rockin' cool, dude! Curly hair like yours takes the most patience to grow long, but the reward for you is paying off right now, you have tremendous thickness, and things can only keep on getting better. Congratuations for hanging in there, and keep up the great growth!!!
All the best,
David
Thanks a lot, dude! Man, I'd be nowhere without you guys....
Peace
We always seem to be our own worst enemies when it comes to our hair. Yours is looking super at present and will only get better as time goes by.
As for those emails you speak of: never answer one of them. Just ignor. I am sorry to learn that this has happened to you.
"If" you happen to get such an email with an address, please report it to the Crew.
All the best
Justin
Yes, do report any "come-ons". Come-ons, gay or straight, are verboten. For privacy reasons the crew does not monitor the text users send through the system to each other, so the only way we know about system abuse is if we are told. If someone is coming on to you, they are probably also coming on to others, so you'll do a service to others as well as yourself to advise the crew. Making the hyperboard a pleasant place is the only reason the crew is here!
Bill
Tech Crew Chief
Thanks!
As to the emails, I no longer have any of the addresses. I don't think they were any of the regular hyperboard members, though; I'm pretty sure they were random lurkers. I haven't had problems recently, but after my previous update, I got a bunch of unsolicited messages.
Peace
Hey there! Awesome curls you've got there man! You seem to have almost exactly the same hair texture as my sisters boyfriend from Libya (North Africa), and his hair is almost to his waist, he's done rasta braids so that's why it appears longer as well:)
Take care!
Simon
Thanks! I'm guessing you mean dreadlocks? I've always considered getting those too, if my hair stops growing before it reaches at least mid-back.
Peace, man
Hey Fallen_Angels...
Good to see you still hangin around. The hair is coming along nice. The curls are great and are gonna totally rock once they hit mid-back. Keep up the great work...
Be Blessed...
Tristan
Thanks a lot, man. I'm hoping for at least mid-back myself; if my hair reaches there, the curls won't be so tight, and it'll really look like something.
Blessed be!
Peace
Great stuff man! Your hair is looking awesome. I never knew you had brown hair!!!? Amazing how the sunlight brings out your true color.
Haha, I didn't know either! It never appears anything other than jet-black when I'm out of intense sunlight. It's the weirdest thing.
Thanks!
Peace, dude. Awesome avatar change, by the way.
If you want people to stop coming on to you make your hair look crappier.
Hehe. I'll keep that in my to-do list.
Thanks.
Peace
Hi Fallen angels
Your hair looks great,people pay money to get thier hair like yours,i'm glad you did'nt straighten your hair and the picture looks great.Margie
Hehe, thanks again, Margie!
It's funny how people with hair like mine pay money to straighten it....
Peace
Hey Fallen Angels,
Wow! What a great update! You have some awesome hair. Be proud of those curls. Where I live (Puerto Rico) I see quite a few guys with long curly hair. I was walking to lunch today and saw this man with his hair back in a ponytail. His hair was pulled fairly straight over his head, but after the the band it was just as curly as yours is. It looked really cool.
I noticed from one of the pics that you live in the tropics. If I might ask, where?
anotherDavid
Hey, thanks a lot for the compliments. I'm from Dominica (not the Dominican Republic, but the one in the Lesser Antilles). It's cool that we're both Caribbean guys.
Peace, man.
Hey dude, that is one awesome update. Your hair is just great, I don't think i've seen a 'proper' update from you before. You definately need to get yourself into a metal band.
You have a very very cool look there, and it can only get better.
Peace and metal!! Dave
Hey, thanks! My updates are usually kind of random, I guess. And heh, I've wanted to get into a band for a while, but I need to work on my guitar (I'm only beginning grade two). The non-rap scene in my island isn't very big, at any rate, which sucks.
The same to you!
Your hair is awesome as always, and the angle/lighting in this picture are really cool!
Mouse
Thank you! I'm always messing around with my camera during shots.
Peace
Lookin' badas man (as you are no doubt aware that's a good thing :)
and with the slight moustache (which I always personally thought suited you) you resemble Kirk Hammet a bit (again a good thing IMO).
You should post us a shot after a shower in the future to show us your mid-back shot (but please feel free to put on clthes quickly first! lol)
& I fully understand the part about not being on here as much recently, probably coz I'm a bit guilty of that myself? :)
Metal on baby!
