So if you follow me on twitter you probably saw this one coming, as I previously noted, there comes a time in every man’s life where he wants to grow a beard, that time for me is now. There is just something about having fully packed hair follicles that speaks to me at the moment. Beards have several connotations in our global village, some associated them with religion and others go as far as making character judgements. A beard can be seen as a symbol of manhood and even considered a red flag or sign of rebellion. I’ve heard things like “don’t trust a bearded man” or ” a man with a beard has something to hide” whatever your views on the man mane I could care less, I’m growing one, or at least going to try.

Its going to be a fun couple of weeks enduring ridicule from friends and constant “EWWs” from female acquaintances. After getting past the expected skin irritation I’m sure I’ll easily withstand your verbal assaults.

Until next time
