A lot of guys don't feel comfortable dating girls that have kids..

I have a lot of first hand experience with that. (I was the kid)

Didn't help that pretty much ever guy my Mom has dated has been an utter scumbag.

I know that I personally would have trouble dating any girl with a child. I know I wouldn't like it, simply for the fact that I would feel uncomfortable with the possibility of raising someone else's child if the relationship went anywhere. Also, I can't imagine, even in the best of situations, that the could would be happy having me hanging around all the time.

Some people are better than me.

No offense, but at your age dating someone with a kid would be fairly insane and the thought of rasing any kid - your own or someone else's - should frighten the ever living shit out of you. Ten years from now you might feel very different...

This is a really, really good article by someone whom I have enormous respect for:

I found my first gray hair at 21, on Thanksgiving, with my asshole

stopped reading here. TMI, man.

Definitely not a stress hair. My parents both went grey very early. At 27 I'm actually behind schedule, compared to them.

I'm cool with going grey. In fact, I'm looking forward to it. Both of my parents' hair went white, which is awesome. But it's still a shocker to have such concrete evidence of my aging! Kinda like when my first wrinkles started showing up a few years ago.

You and Dish should hang.

I have grey hair. And white hair. And I'm balding. I pretty much need to wear hats to look even halfway decent, and it sucks.

You'd probably look better if you trimmed that long beard of yours.

He lives in Maine. Men need a beard to get a driver's license up there. (Seriously, I have never met a man from Maine who does not have a beard...bone, my father-in-law, all the men in my wife's family...they all have beards!)

I am losing it up top too...but it does not bother me too much (especially since I am quite tall and have always kept my unruly hair very, very short). My grandfather ended up looking like Lee van Cleef (a/k/a Solid Snake in MGS4), and I hope to go that way in my old age as well.

Hell I started going grey when I was 15. I was hoping I'd be Anderson Cooper grey by the time I was 24 but no such luck. I'd be way more of a chick magnet then I already if I had gone full grey by now.

My mom, brother, bro's GF, and the girls (my nieces) are back from Orlando.

I'm making progress on fixing my sleep cycle, but...

Right now, I'm crashing around 4-5pm, waking up for a bit at 7-8pm and then finally waking up and staying awake around 2-3am.

If you're wondering how, a few days ago, after another sleepless night I went down to Red Drum at around 6:30am (when they open) and bought a MtDew and an energy shot. Then took a swig of the soda, then spiked it with the energy shot.
