54 rocking a 24 year old haircut. Pathetic.
It’s called bed head… dude doesn’t have a job and just leaches off his family and his remaining bar friends.
This dude is a NUT!
He is one of those fools that likes to drive in the turn lane and pass people.
He needs to acknowledge his personal demons, then get the help he needs.
He needs a comb & brush,and a bath.Then throw is a$$ in jail.

Correction:Throw his a$$ in jail.
