My wonderful, but sometimes naive, wife thought this trip would be the perfect opportunity for me to finally try growing a beard. When she says "beard" what she really means is
Bradley Cooperesque stubble. I've tried to explain that I just don't grow enough hair to have any kind of beard. I don't think 6 weeks is going to help that fact. Six weeks will simply give me a longer, very patchy beard instead of a short, very patchy beard. More time != more stubble. A face full of stubble will never happen.
Here's what about 8 days of "beard" looks like. Note the distinct "no hair will ever grow here" zones. Who thinks I should give up this experiment now and save myself further humiliation?
Thanks to all the friends and family who refrained from asking what was wrong with my face, and apologies to the children I've scared.
It's like a treasure map. A treasure map of despair and broken dreams.
ReplyDeleteHere there be gold.
ReplyDeleteAnd by gold I mean nothing.
I think you should let it grow into long wispy strands... i'm talking like a foot long. That would be hot.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your trip has been bedeviled with such troubles, however, maybe perseverance and a test of one's mettle is partly the point. Be safe (As if I have to say that to you of all people)

If you like not having to shave (must be a pain when camping), don't worry about it. It looks the way Mother Nature intended. There's no such thing as a perfect beard, heck there's hardly such a thing as a good beard -- wait, I've changed my vote -- SHAVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI see Bradley Cooper's got some bare spots too it seems. It just needs more time!! More time!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! Long, wispy strands. And then braid them like some ancient, asian cleric.
ReplyDeleteSmall patches can be hidden with longer hair. It took me 4 months to cover all my patches: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs222.snc4/38461_284462349977_508049977_1054704_3854996_n.jpg
