Thriller!

I amused myself with this one, and just want it up here so I can see it easily. You may ignore it and go on about your business.

Smooth Criminal

This is how I normally look (cheesy grin and all):

I’ve had a goatee for pretty close to 8 years now.

Then, last fall, I grew out the full beard for the Living Nativity:

Beardface

I kept it for a while by request, and then it got close enough to the Passion Play that I needed to keep it, so I’ve had it for six months or so. I like that a full beard saves me time shaving in the morning, but I don’t really like how it looks on me. So, on Saturday night, when the Passion Play was done, I shaved it.

All of it:

I’ve been told it makes me look younger. I’ve been called “babyface.” I’ve been told I look like the “Can you hear me now?” guy. All I know is that I am furiously regrowing the goatee as fast as I can, and I’m tempted to use Chia seeds in the meantime.

My friend Brian recently shaved his beard, too. He Twittered the following haiku, which I thought was great, even though I never get the itchiness with my beards:

Beard ephemeral
Hair today, gone tomorrow
No more itchy face
