Oh, my ever-loving GOD! Where did I put my hair gel? This can't be happening to me. I'm usually more careful and prepared than that. I would never intentionally let down the community by introducing such an aesthetic and emotional hazard such as my untendered coif into its neighborhoods. Maybe there is an agency that can meet this need for the good of the greater good. Perhaps there is some FEMA or American Red Cross gran that I am eligible for so that I can replenish my supply of hair gel or --if unavailable -- some form of styling mousse or some other hair care product that provides volume, body and shine and won't cause split ends.

And WHERE IS MY PEN?!? The one that enables me to write on black paper! It was right here in my...oh, here it is. My bad.

But let me get back to the ongoing tragedy of my hair. I curse the evil genius who developed alcohol-free styling products. (Gestures a crusing gesture). They doom us mortals into thinking we can have hair like the gods only to hurl us back down to earth with not even our frizzied mortality to break our fall. (Shakes fist in the air).

Damn you, Vidal Sassoon!

To Hells with you, Jheri Redding (or however you spell your gay name)!!
