3/11/08 - Beard Chonicles
This is a bit old, but I hadn’t posted it yet... so it is new to you! Winter in Northern Scotland is a horrible time of the year, it makes people do weird things. The sun only shines a few hours a day, it is cold, windy, and pretty much boring. So you end up spending most of the time huddled at home like a hermit or an outcast from society. So what do most outcasts have in common? Well if you said beards then you know where this is going. In my winter boredem I decided I would try my hand at growing a beard. I think this is something all men must try at one point in their life. It kinda is a right of passage. So I started out on my month plus long journey of beard growing. The first few weeks were pretty misserable. It was itchy and it looked like I was trying to be one of the guys from Miami Vice. Then the magic happened.... it started to grow in a bit and almost looked normal. Needless to say I eventually got bored with it and shaved it off. Though I still managed to shave some fun beards near the end.

Oddly enough, a few months later my good friend The Animal decided he would grow a beard. He gave his a few more weeks and by the end was supporting a full Grizzly Adams. I also am very jealous of his mad mustache he was able to carve out of his mug. For you that are interested it is called a “Friendly Mutton.”
