Project Wolfman: Or I How I Learned to Stop Shaving and Love the Beard

Day 49: Today was my birthday. The beard continues to grow. With each day it looks more and more like an upside down afro.  While browsing the internet I discovered how much I am starting to resemble Kurt Russell from 1982’s “The Thing.”

My hair growth is not as noticeable at this juncture due to the rapid facial hair expansion across my jaw. More updates as the beard thickens…

Project Wolfman: Or I How I Learned to Stop Shaving and Love the Beard

Sometimes in a man’s life he has to make some tough decisions. And then sometimes he make make some really questionable decisions. One such decision is my acceptance of TJ’s challenge to go a whole year without shaving or cutting my hair. I thought to myself, “Why not?” And then TJ upped the ante a little, to make me an offer I couldn’t refuse. TJ and Heather added some brutal stakes into this little challenge. If I maintain uninterrupted hair growth for a whole year, I will be rewarded with a 12 pack of Pepsi every week for 6 months. That’s approximately 288 cans of Pepsi! How could I resist!? There is a downside obviously, should I forfeit and give myself a much needed trim before the year is up, then I will be buying Heather and TJ a 12-pack a week for six months.

So here we are after the first month. April 1st, 2011 is zero day. We’ll see how crazy my hair gets this coming year. The things I do for Pepsi and/or money. One of these days I’m going to get myself into trouble.  Now if you’ll excuse me I have some hair to grow.

 

Until next time true-believers!

The Legend of Half-Beard and the New Year's Resolution

Well, hello! I bet you thought I abandoned my readers, but I didn't forget the 3 of you! Busy, Busy, busy... I'm always so busy.

Christmas came and went. It was a nice holiday, time of gathering, family, and holiday pay. I got a lot of nice gifts from my family. Some nice green holly for my wallet as well, that means cash... I bought a beard trimmer. Yes, I am aware how lame that is, but I needed it. So to test out the length settings I shaved half of my face. See below.

Yeah, so, that was silly of me. Fear not, I corrected the imbalanced face hair. It's coming in even and not resembling the homeless is always a goal.

New Year's Eve. My tamest in a long time. I have no crazy photos for you, because all I did was play some video games and watch the ball drop in New York. I just didn't feel like going out that night. I took a nap until midnight central time and woke up long enough to mumble, "happy new year!" and fall back asleep. So while the majority of the human race likes to make New Year's resolutions, those that achieve them are definitely a minority. However, with the doting public staring in at me, perhaps that would be some much needed motivation.

Yes, as you  may have guessed, I'm turning this into the obligatory resolution post. here are my cliche resolutions.

2. Eat out less
