  • Should I give myself a haircut?
    I don't have much hair on top, just the sides. I keep the sides buzzed pretty short and I buzz off the fuzz on top. It isn't a self-portrait, I've never been able to draw or paint worth a darn. My wife drew this on my whiteboard and I kept it up f...

  • Favorite Starbucks drink?
