Kenneth Brown Salons. A dream we can all share.


Kenneth Brown Salons.
I am one fortunate man. For so long I had felt out of place in Orange County, Calif. My years as a hairdresser began in Beverly Hills. This was something I felt very proud of. As a result of misjudgement, I left Los Angeles area for a relationship that was doomed to end quickly. I slowly worked less and less in Beverly Hills and began to work in South Orange County.
Do not misunderstand that South O.C is beautiful and I have met wonderful people, but it does not have what a city has. This is the suburbs. This is a mainly conservative,Republican,Christian area. Tho they truly believe that they are not conservative,it is thru blinded vision that they do not see that they are in many ways.
For many years I had wanted to return to L.A. I was drowning here in the O.C. Gay life,non existing anymore and my career was headed for disaster. I was bored,uninspired ,and getting older. I was hunting,looking,wanting to elevate my mind,my spirits,my talents and of course my love life...therefore we are speaking of my entire life. Just as I was accepting that this was what I had created and I had to accept it,own it and do the best with it...a new salon opens up.
My old friend Jeff Brown and his wife Debbie Brown have opened up a beautiful salon in south O.C. It has more of a city vibe,city attitude and a city talent. I was fortunate to have been hired and become part of a team here.
I feel saved in a way. The light bulb has been switched on. Desires to grow have reignited. The future looks better and thoughts of growth have emerged.
There is hope and I believe that my desires and wishes will come true. I wish the Brown's ultimate success,health and business growth. As I wish this for them from my heart,I know that I too will reap the benefits of supporting wholeheartedly the aspirations that Jeff Brown has put out there. His dreams and wishes are being supported by a beautiful staff he has put together. I include myself in this without ego but with a sense of joy. For his dreams have lit a fire within my own self.
So with this I congratulate them and myself. I thank God for guidance and support. I am entering the latter half of my life. A life that was somewhat irresponsible,a life that was lead thru my heart and my bad choices, but they were my choices in the end. I hope I can begin to make up for lost time and re thread something s and move to become ..perhaps, my own dream.

America...currently


So I was watching Piers Morgan tonite. Truly have been enjoying the show. I am enjoying it more than Larry King,especially the last year.
The interview with HRH Prince Awaleed from Saudi Arabia. Interesting man. Smart,simple and very powerful. His take on Where America is now and where it should be standing. He spoke of the longer emerging markets. Brazil,Korea,china etc..they are no longer behind us as world innovators. America needs innovators and remove all business policies that have not worked since 2007. Begin to lace themselves alongside these countries and work together or get with the program as the times are changing. America needs to evolve with the changing world climates. His vision for Saudi Arabia is growing,changing,evolving and he is a man of the modern world. He is taking a stand against the King in regard to furthering women's rights. He is at this point, for the most pat,a man alone but it is happening and it will change the middle east as it develops..new western ideas.
