I'm shaving my beard! I am doing it gradually as to not upset the boy. When I was young my dad shaved his beard abruptly and it was very disturbing. Any who 2006 is going to see a clean me.
Hah. An ubersite-ite. I've forgotten about that site. So it's distrubing eh? I go back forth from month to month. I know that my infant son notices. Maybe I'll make a choice soon so that I don't distrub him.
I was just looking through my Ubersite stuff and jeez, people hated me! But you didn't Mr. T. You just abstained me apparently. Do you suspect at all that the progressive loss of beard is the reason the Eagles have sucked this year though?
I used to be of the opinion that I would never ever grow-out any facial hair because I realized that most everyone goes through a "beard period" or a time that everybody grows out their facial hair at one point in time.
I, being the dumbass teenager I was, thought I would rebel against "everything" and never ever grow out my facial hair.
Fast-forward a few years and I've been through a goatee and several beard phases.
Back in the day when I had time for jaw'n I used to make the argument that shaving of the beard was a tool for the feminists' battle to obviate men entirely. Lately though seeing online all the shaved twats I have had to reconsider my position.
If I could grow facial hair I would be creative! Like do just the chin part, or the flavor saver thing, Or have triangular sideburns that point toward my nose.
I haven't shaved since Christmas because I haven't had to work. But now, with my wife and son bracing for impact when I give them a kiss (stubble hurts) it just might be time to come clean too.
I'm not a beard or facial hair person, it upsets my baby face too much. Bearded babies are just creepy.
