'Half Head Man' From Famous Mugshot Explains Why He Has Half A Head

It's been nearly a year since Miami was introduced to the instantly, universally viral mugshot of "Half Head Man,"
The Miami New Times, who first spotted the cheerful alleged prostitute-solicitor in its "Mugshots Friday" series, ran across a YouTube account called "HalfHeadMan" in which the gentleman himself explains the traumatic injury.
Answering to the name "Halfy" and smoking what looks an awful lot like a blunt, he suggests it's best to stay off drugs.
"[I was] on drugs, I was driving, and I hit a pole, and I flew out the front window and landed on my head," he says, turning side to side to show off a flattened skull. "That's why it's no good, drinking and driving or drug -- drugness and driving. No good, kids. No good."
"Halfy," who has been identified variously as Carlos Sosa or Carlos Rodriguez, then alleges the president of the United States uses drugs, affirms his love of large women, and makes several sexually explicit remarks. In a second video, he again smokes what appears to be a blunt as the narrator laughingly says, "Hello, world, I want y'all to meet Halfy...he's kind of famous already."
Indeed. But "Halfy" isn't the only man to have survived such a severe head injury. A British man named Steve Gator lost a large portion of his skull after being attacked walking home from work, leaving him, he says, with a nervous condition and an altered personality.
