Pick your afro!

They say clothes maketh the man. This is one of my favourite sayings because it loosely translates to that a man that takes care of himself and his image is a man that loves himself.

I'm at that point where I'm growing my afro. I've noticed that afro's were very popular back in the day. This is how most people had their hair. Afro's were fashionable back in the day and today they are still cool. It's kind of -like- mixing the past with the present future. It's bringing the past to you in a manner that can't be forced nor contrived. It's making a statement that the past can influence you, that you wanna look cool...that you have a mind of your own.

Although some people would use fashion as a bar code to what is acceptable in society...one can do what they like to express themselves and their views. I love afro's... it's practically my hair saying: "hey...how are you? I've got an opinion". Growing an afro also tests your patience... let's see how long I can hang in there!
