I looked in the mirror and immediately thought, "Andrew Jackson..."
But not just any Andrew Jackson... the middle-aged Andrew Jackson, three quarter view. This one...
At least, that's what my hair told me. It said, "Andrew Jackson..."
And I thought... "Presidential"
That's what happened. Don't shoot the messenger dude.
Does this mean I should run for president? I don't think so...
So I did a little research on A.J. hoping to find a a little nugget, a factoid, a small skeleton key to help me open this hair puzzle:
- During the American Revolution, at the age of 13, he refused to shine the boots of a British officer and got severely beaten and cut (bayonette) for it.
- He was born in North Carolina (so was I), even though South Carolina also claims him.
- He took Pensacola, Florida (my home town) from the Spanish, barely having to fire a shot.
- He was one of the founders of the modern Democratic Party.
- He was a big proponent of "indian removal" in his day. (yikes)
- He had great hair.
I dunno man... I have no idea what this one means. Perhaps it will unfold as the week progresses.
