\m/ YES!
Beard story from Saturday: My Mom and I went to a dealership to see about trading in a minivan for a truck so I can plow our driveways, transport the Bike, haul shit etc... Last winters handful of 10-15" snow storms sucked balls, anyway every dude working in the showroom had a beard in various stages. When I walked in they got shook and ALL stared at me. Their girly man beards were tucking tail and my beard could sense it. Honestly I look like a god damn bum right now.
So we get hooked up with a hand job salesperson and his third question to my Mom and I was about my beard followed with the obvious... everyone on the floor was growing one. “How long have you been growing your beard?” I paused and said “I’ll put it to you this way. The last time I shaved was May 19, 2012.” He couldn’t hang so he proceeded to be a salesman and offer us an insulting trade in value. His way of spiting my beard I suspect.
I really dig Viking or Viking style braids so I'm thinking about one of these this winter. I have a hair appointment tomorrow so I might have my hairdresser trim it so I don't fuck it up. And if she doesn't cut all my damn hair off, typical woman she doesn't listen to what I want, I'm going to rock two back braids like Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon 2. I'll have to take a pic when its all grown in...
