Grandpa has got dreads

I'm writing a lot of stuff here, I've noticed. Dunno if I have any readers, but it does not really matter, cuz I'm doing it mostly for myself. I did not tell you that I was part of bringing up 5 kids. The oldest is 24 and the youngest is 15. Two of them, the oldest ones, are self made. But it does not matter whom was part of making whom, really, I love them all. I have two grandchildren, one is 4 and the other one is 1. That means that grandpa has got dreads. Why does grandpa have dreads now o… Continue

Leo 9-2-10

You may not have absolutely everything you want, but you're close, aren't you? Close enough to see that one of your major goals is about to be realized, right? Don't be overanxious. The universe is definitely on your side -- oh, and so is that certain someone you've been attracted to for what seems like forever -- but don't try to rush things along. First off, it won't work. It never does. Nothing happens until all conditions are right. Continue

1 Month, 1 Day

Ok so it's been an eventful month. I started the month with frizzy sideshow bob hair, and ended it with fully mature dreads... ... ... ... ... Ok so I lied there, but I'm just THAT excited. I can see changes in my hair everyday though. In my last vLog (somewhere in Member Timelines) I mentioned a knot in on of my tips. Since then I've found 2 more, on front dreads. These 2 little knots are wonderful guys. They knotted near the end of the tip, sandwiched between loose tip hairs. Since these kn… Continue

Cats

I love cats. I have two. I think the cat is the right animal for any dread, not only having the lion in mind. At least it is the right animal for this dread. Cats are peaceful, loving animals. They set the atmosphere in the house, gives it the right spirit. Calms everything down. When I'm sleeping I have the one cat by my feet and the other one in my arms. I've got one boy and one girl. His name is Boesman and her name is Foxy. They are two lovely souls and I love them. And they love one another… Continue

2 weeks today...

Officially 2 weeks into my neglected all natural hair. I am extremely very happy.I thought my impatience and vanity would get the better of me but so far that has not been the case and I am very proud of myself :) I am finding myself in the mirror a lot less then usual. That is a good thing. My daily routine has been cut by a good 30 minutes. That's 30 minutes more everyday that I have to do something meaningful. I drive with the windows down and let the wind blow my hair. I have developed a nic… Continue

I don't like weed

It kinda bothers me that dreadlocks must be mixed up with weed all the time. I am a guy who does not like to be under the influence of neither alcohol or drugs. I enjoy being high on life though, love is my favorite drug. Love is the greatest high of all. I don't want to promote the use of weed with my hairstyle. I would like to wash all weed of all the dreadlocks in the world. I would rather like dreadlocks to be connected with love. Can't we organize that? Continue

Searching For Meaning

Soaring through the atmosphere Gliding ever swift Down towards the waters clear My consciousness did drift Piercing the ocean's dressing Ripple without a splash Drowning in the questions My burning brain would ask A Hurricane of wonder The answers that I sought My watery eyes asunder A whirling pool of thought With frantic desperation I swim towards the shore Upon my destination I realise there is more My thoughts remain unspoken For fear of what I'll find The circle stays unbroken My life c… Continue

1st Week

Sunday marked one week! I have not used a comb, brush, or commerical shampoo/conditioner or any products during this week. I wash&condition with SE's BS&ACV recipe. Changes I have noticed: Comb-made parts are no longer visible to my eye. But when I touch my hair, I feel the sections. My entire head is covered in fuzz, and the twists are visible enough to pass as an intentional sloopy style. Interesting to note, this "style" was a hit at my local bar. My roots are very loose but firm...… Continue

Gardening on a rainy Sunday

I live out in the country. Quite close to a bigger city, but this is still in the worst farmland. The neighbors have cows, horses and sheep. And here I have my red little house and my great garden. Gardening and dreads gel well together, in my world. Even though I don't grow weed. Right now I'm making squash pickles, cuz I have so much squash and I don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions what else I can do with all my squash? Or do all you guys only wanna talk about how bad wax and croch… Continue

Dread Functionality

My colleges have gotten used to my new hairstyle. Maybe it is because it's not so new anymore. One is getting used to most things if one is exposed to them long enough. But the funny thing is that many of my colleges now even have the guts to express that they like my dreads. That they did not believe it was a good idea initially, but that they now must admit that it looks good and really suits me. To me that is big of my colleges. You must know that I am working in a office environment where y… Continue

charity cycle through europe

Friday the 27th at about 1300hrs I arrived back at home, here in France. 2653 miles in just under 29 days. A month of cycling both physically and mentally exhausting made worse with a broken hand and wrist as the result of an unfortunate fall on the fourth day of the trip. Special thanks to Lt Col Haynes for letting me recover at his house. The weather was superb throughout France and Italy, constantly over 30 degrees and hardly any clouds. I raced through Monaco and across to Pisa where I met… Continue

Blond dreads doing Italy

I'm crazy about blogging, so I will probably be busy here both now and then. My English is not perfect, but I will try my best. I signed up today. As soon as I poked my nose in here I heard that I was doing wrong in using my crochet needle. That little needle that I was so happy about was causing damage to my hair? Damn it! I was so happy when I finally found that needle a month ago. And I was also very happy that it didn't cost more than a couple of dollars. And I desperately needed that needl… Continue

First Month Thoughts

If you read this, be forewarned, it's random and all over the place. It has been about three weeks since I backcombed all of my hair. I layered small on top and larger on the bottom. I used lockpeppa and a dread comb, and nothing else. I could have gone without the lockpeppa, but it did seem to make my hair more "grippy." Anyways, this is my second set of dreadlocks and I feel better prepared for them this time around. I am at a better place in my life and more accepting of things around me. T… Continue

The History of My Hair

I was born bald...the make you wanna lick the palm of your hand and slap the back of a head bald. Not a wisp of hair. My mom always dressed me in pink and ruffles so I wouldn't be mistaken for a boy....um it still didn't stop the same old question, is it a boy or a girl?! I didn't start to grow hair until I was one. But once it started, it did not stop. My hair grew to be very thick, lush, and long. My hair for some reason always tempted boys to pull and tug on my ponytails. I had a couple of f… Continue

My Dream

I dream of living in a community where bras are burned, razors are thrown out, and clothing is optional (or even prohibited). I dream of a community not governed by money, but sustained by trade, that focuses not on consuming, but on growing, self-discovery, and love. Where the joy of helping others replaces the greed of more, more, more. I dream of this community growing its own food, building its own shelters, raising its own young. Where a relationship with the trees is not only recognized, b… Continue
