Gray

So I'm cruising down the street and I happen to catch my image in the mirror. My eyes were treated to the sight of someone else's hair. Surely there must be something wrong with the mirror right?

I am only 35 years old. I shouldn't be starting this early right? My Dad didn't really start until his mid-40's. Then I remembered Mom. Mom is the one with the Indian blood. Mom is the one that used to frost her hair in her 20's, until she realized that it wasn't frost anymore. So then she started to dye it back natural. I guess the people in her family gray prematurely. Thanks for those genes Mom.

My temples are really getting gray, but I could live with that. What startled me is what I saw on top. Little silver hairs sparkling in the light from the moon roof. I have light brown hair, so this shit is really sticking out. I am only 35! This isn't fair!

Wait a minute, when I was 15, 35 was O-L-D.

My Grandpa used to use Grecian Formula and was 39 when he died. Actually he was almost 80, but he was playing the Jack Benny card.

So should I be vain, and dye my hair?

Should I just call it distinguished, and live with it?

Before you answer, how many people with gray hair do you see listening to hard rock, or bands like the Cure, Depeche Mode, or New Order?

I'm not vain, so I'm leaning toward being a gray haired rocker!

"Dude, who invited their Grandpa to the concert?"

I think you should post a pic so we can get a better idea of what you're talking about. If it just 3 or 4 random ones, just pluck the bastards.

I have the Cure in my CD player in my car.

I think a man looks distinguised with grey hair.

btw, I see plenty of people watching bands like the Cure, Depeche Mode and New Order - in fact - the band members are grey too!

(Love Depeche Mode)

Don't dye it! Love yourself for who you are and embrace the hairs like badges!

That being said, I streak mine so my white (NOT gray!!) hairs blend in lol.

:)PS I LOVE the cure.
