Hey Paul. I see you live in Bakersfield. I moved to Bakersfield about 8 months ago. I know you're probably going through a lot right now. Hang in there. I have had alopecia universalis since I was 5 years old. If you have any questions or just want someone to talk with, feel free to send me a message.

Hiya, Did you make out to the AP Tour last night?? i went i was pretty cool. Im thinking ill like the used better.

Bakersfield isn't too bad. I had never really been here until I moved so at first I didn't know anyone. It's a lot bigger place than I had expected. I've had a pretty busy schedule so haven't really been able to go out and do much here outside of work. Although, I do do a lot of driving around town for work so at least I know my way around now.

Have you noticed any improvements since getting those steroid shots? I was never offered those because a whole head would be a lot of shots to take. I hope they work out for you.

Not a whole lot. Mainly just work/court and trying to prepare my backyard for sprinklers to be installed. I did get to take a short trip to Idaho to visit some family though.

How have things been with you? It's been a few weeks since you got the last shots right? Are you noticing any improvements? I hope things are going well for you.

I was a CHP explorer for about one year in 2002/2003. I started a little late but yeah, I do think it's a good program. I worked for CDC for a couple years prior to CHP. I graduated the CHP academy 3 years ago and was sent to work in East Los Angeles. I was there for just over a year when I transferred to Newhal/Valencia area. I ended up buying a house here in Bakersfield and so that's how I ended up here. I've been working out of the Bakersfield office since January. If you want to do a ride-along sometime, I'm sure I can arrange it.

Hey Paul,

How long has it been since it all started? March 2009?
This disease is so unpredictable. I'm not sure where I am at anymore. I have sparse hair everywhere white and dark. Hmmmmmm Oh well.

Hope you are dealing with this in a good way.

Hi Paul...I see from your comment that you're a drummer. Me too, but probably not the same kind of drums or music. What kind do you play?

Oct 23, 2009
Mary

I play Balkan music in a couple of bands. Some traditional jazz explored Balkan rhythms - Don Ellis' "Bulgarian Bulge" is one I know of. Here's one tune of seven I put on YouTube of one of my bands:

Hang in there and enjoy your music. I've recently started performing bald, and a year ago I wouldn't have thought I could do that. Alopecia sucks...but life goes on.

Hey hey, I've been having lots of fun lately. I just went to an amazing concert the other night (In This Moment) with a friend - the band performed the last song in the mosh pit, which was freaking awesome - and I met them afterward, took some pictures, and hung out. It was a great time. What have you been up to? =)

Thanks Paul! ;)

Ohhh I've just been so busy lately, I need to wind down a bit. I really want to go on a road trip somewhere with friends. I have a fantasy of waking up in the middle of the night, packing my bags, and just hitting the road with the music blasting on the radio and my friends in the backseat. No map, just the open road. A little cheesy, maybe, but I've had this idea for a while. =)
How about you?

Meghan

hi! ive been good thanks, busy with school, and soo ready for the semester to be over! how are you?

Dec 11, 2009
Alexandra

That sounds like lots of fun to tour with a band! I bet you'll have a bunch of great memories and experiences. Would you be able to tell me which band it is, or is it a secret? One of my friends was once a roadie for Three Days Grace and he said it was awesome getting to travel all over the place and hang out with new people every night.
