Apprehension over going out in public

[Razor X]

How are things coming along?  You should be experiencing a less apprehension by now.  Is it getting any easier?

Yes, it's getting much easier! Most of the people who know me love my new hairstyle, and so do I! I should've done this years ago!

I should've done this years ago!

   So many guys say that!

And this is the part where we say, "We told you so."

Hey Rube, You have gotten some excellent advise from some very savy guys...Many people find satisfaction in continually putting others down for what ever stupid reason they can find...if you are not like me, it's reason to hate you. You must dress like me, be my color, be a non-immigrant, speak my language, be my religion, same economic class, salute the flag and have a "decent haircut" and we don't wanna see no tats or piercings. It's hard for people to admit/realize that we are all different and that difference is to be celebrated and appreciated. Hang in there, dare to be different and enjoy your emancipation.

Look at it this way: anyone who truly thought you were a Nazi wouldn't approach you and ask.

Yea, that's true. As I was walking towards them it looked like the guy who approached me was arguing with his friend a little, so I'm assuming they were debating about whether or not to ask me for money because his friend thought I was a Nazi. Oh well, at least now they know better.

They were probably crackheads.

Well they were at least drunk, that much was obvious.

Just look at the source. Ignore the haters. I don't get many drunks coming up to me criticizing my Dome ;-)

I find it easiest to avoid/ignore the drunks. Have any of you noticed that they very seldom have anything of value to add to a conversation and that, in any case, they don't remember it the next day anyway?

I usually avoid them, but in this case we happened to be walking past each other on the street. These guys were drunk beggars too, and as insensitive as it sounds some of the beggars in my city are very hard to avoid. They tend to follow you if you ignore them...

At any rate, I like being sly, so people are just going to have to get used to the fact that I'm not a Nazi. I think I'll start taking the bus when I'm alone in Cleveland at night though, just to be safe. It's also warmer in there
