Lil bro.

Starting to get more excited every day about my dreads. Spent probably four hours on GUDU this morning just lurking, reading, admiring... such beautiful hair on beautiful people with beautiful souls! A few months and I will be there! Im learning as much as I can now for myself and also for my little bro. Im excited to get him ready to take care of his own hair once his dreads are done the right way.

Sept 2010 and April 2011

In the mean time im trying to work on getting him to open up to the world a bit more. He was the COOLEST kid growing up. Always very intuitive and empathetic. But I havent seen him in almost two years now, and hes grown a bit brash, lol. He's always had an intrest in weapons and wanted to join the military. He's 11 now though and im worried that he is learning a lot about one side of things. The flip side of his personality is a love for nature, obsession with dreadlocks, joy in making his own juice with a juicer. He's half hippie half war head. Its quite a mix! But hes a fantastic person. Hes so smart at such a young age. Im excited for him to learn and grow.
I am encouraging him the best I can to learn more about the world. To know he can have intrests in MANY areas and not have to pick one narrow way of life. He is very intelligent and is gonna grow up and do something awesome for sure. I want him to be able to learn both sides of a situation and debate the pros and cons. He will really be able to go far in life. They're good boys.
