Story of the Beardo

Yes, I was called a "Weirdo Beardo" and I can tell you that I was not too popular in my house for the month that I was growing it.

When I was a young boy, I dreamed about a time when I could start shaving and growing hair on my face. As I got older I finally was able to grow a goatee, but my cheek hair was never thick enough to bother with a full beard. Besides that, it drives me nuts if I let my beard grow on my cheeks. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

This last winter, I decided to let it grow. I got past the itchy stage and it was actually coming in evenly. I had to let it grow into a full beard to satisfy the kid inside of me. The kid who always wanted to grow a beard, just like my Dad!

Let me tell you, I didn't like it. I could not get comfortable with it and I daily wanted to just shave it off. My goal though, was to grow it and then get a picture of myself so that I could see whenever I wanted that I'd had a real, full beard.

Below I have posted the progression of my beard. Now I will put a current picture of myself in my profile so that you can all see what I presently look like. I find it difficult to take a picture of myself, so I will probably change this one soon.

And now you all know the story of the Beardo.
