I wear it proudly, for it looks bad-ass.

One day, after much thought (weeks of thought) and knowing I had a full 8 days before I had to go to work again I decided to shave the mo-fucka.

I trimmed it down, and then proceeded to shave it in stages. I agve myself a goatee with long sideburns first, and I thought "hmm, not looking to bad rob. quite the sexy."
Then I took off the sideburns and saw my pale cheeks and jaw for the first time in over a decade. (I did this about 4 years ago) I thought "hmm, not so bad!"

Then I took off the goatee and left myself with just a moustache, and what amoustache!!! a glorious thing. I looked like a motherfucking pirate! I did not recognize the guy in the mirror.

Then I did it, I took it all off and shaved the whole fucker. I washed and looked in the mirror and what was staring at me? not the expected face of a 30 year old man, but the wrinkle-free, chubby face of my 16-17 year old self! I had not aged!!!! It scared the shit out of me. I looked fucking terrible!

my ex-wife (wife at the time) was shocked! my mom was flabbergasted and said I looked like a pale fart. My best friends, whom I have known since age 8 would not look me in the face!!!! it fucked them up to see my young looking babyface after years and years and years of the manly beard.

I grew that shit back as soon as it would grow (which was around 10-14 days to get back to the shortest level I like to keep it at)

I have never posted pics of it, nor shown anyone else. wow!

I miss my beard, I let that motherfucker grow untrimmed for two or more years, and that shit was getting dread into the dread, and I loved it, but it was the worst for the world, people were always looking at me like there was something on my face, and there was, a big, godawful dreadlock beard!

those were the days..

2005-2007 were my most natty years, let my beard go as untrimmed and uncombed as my dread, and it became one and the same, all that was free were my eyes and eye-brows, and even they were starting to want to turn..

You tell many 'mericans that Jesus probably looked a LOT more like Osama Bin Laden than he does Brad Pitt, and I bet you could get a righteous fight started.

Hair police.
I quite like my reflection, now that my beard is longer. I cut it too short a while ago and I didn't feel at ease.
