Another version of this is at Wordpress, where my blog is, here. This is a late posting. It’s been on You Tube since November 13, 2024. I also look terrible in it, because this is before I shaved my head. I’m not bald; I just don’t want to deal with hair for a while, as life has been very challenging, and when it is such, it’s a very feminine endeavor, dealing with hair, in my opinion, for a man to have to be caring for a mop of dead material on his head–which grows out of his head (in my case, very fast, and now, grey–which doesn’t look so bad–but which only adds to prejudice and requires too much work and money). For the sensitive and angry, I have nothing against feminine activities–it’s just that it feels to be a very self-centered and insecure focus to be daily engaged in and emasculating a process–as well as a waste of time–to be caring for hair–which is really an egotistical preoccupation aimed at conformity and attracting people. I will, undoubtedly, fall into that monkey-mind societal behavior, again, someday–perhaps when I am back in Japan and Korea, and trying to repair my single-status—but right now, I am also focusing on my Zen practice–so seeing & feeling my bald head (which, in my opinion looks better than any hairstyle one can create –and I have a full head of hair, if I want it)–seeing my shiny, smooth, bald head in the mirror goes a long way to reminding me of what kind of man I am on the inside and what kind I want people to see on the outside. And now that I think of it–as I am, in fact, adding this addendum sentence you are now reading, after having published this piece–this is yet another thing that sets me apart from people like Trump; it takes a good measure of confidence and security to present oneself as one wants and as one is, rather than primping, coloring, styling and remaking oneself to be something that he or she is not. Anyway, the video is about an observation I made about the Felon-elect of The United States, when he was in the Oval Office, recently, meeting the President of The United States, Joseph R. Biden.
