still growing
My beard is so unnecessarily long that I can no longer trim the split ends. The beard is so unwieldy that I can’t get a good grip on it. I just tried to trim less than a centimeter off the end, and managed to snip about ¾ of an inch. Maintenance has become totally impossible. However, the plan to let it grow until August continues.
Tuesday night I was out and mentioned to Alex that I get uncomfortable if I’m at a bar, party, restaurant, etc. and I’m not the guy with the biggest beard. If I notice someone else with a large, full beard I feel like he and I are quietly sizing the other up. Did I start my beard before this chump? Why does that guy think he can have such an unruly beard? Are the other people at this party noticing that there are two guys here who haven’t touched a razor in at least 8 months?
A week ago I visited my family. My niece had a few toys around, but her tiny hands kept gripping the end of my beard and tugging at it. My Dad couldn't stop snapping photos.
I am not mean nor angry. This self-portrait was just taken during a very hot day at the Mermaid Parade. By the way, that new subway station at Coney Island is pretty cool looking.
