hullo hullo! what's missing!?

yes, yes, yes...
i got me a shave.

gots to look more respectable and all!

i'm doing some extra work to pay the bills and decided to lose the furface though i'll keep the ponytail... for now anyway.

it is my subtle way to protest all the wrongs of the world promulgated by the capitalist elite propaganda machine. next post i will continue in my role as hapless cog of the machine.
cog #5050873227380-003 as i'm known in the secret boardrooms of the oppressors.

and remember free texas!!!
