Unlike the Australian Beardo project, I didn't travel with my beard. Instead my girlfriend went to Honduras giving me the first opportunity in a long while to grow one hell of a beard. If your not familiar with the Beardo Project, you might want to check those out before continuing on. I know to many it will make no sense and seem strange, but sometimes a man just needs to grow a beard.

The beard stays, you go.

So yeah I didn't do anything strange or really out of the ordinary this time with my beard, but it was still a good time. I did at least finally get a chance to grow one again. Women have been incredibly successful at suppressing the beard. When I have a girlfriend, they hate the beard so much, it really isn't worth the fight to grow one. When I am single I seriously diminish my dating chances by growing a beard, so I tend to only grow them during brief really busy or anti social stints, when I don't want to date. Seeing as I have been with Erin for the last year, I haven't had the chance to grow a really big beard. Erin left to go volunteer in Honduras for 4 1/2, I saw my chance, and I took it.

So all the scraggly haired ups and downs over the last few months were great. I went skiing and had ice freeze in my beard. I showed up to work and over an hour later was asked by a co worker why part of my beard was blue to learn there was some toothpaste in my beard (Kristin, waiting an hour, I thought you cared...hehe)

Anyways, feels good like I said in another post, I feel like a new man, so why not make some changes. I guess the beards loose again while woman can claim another point in life. The beard will be back no one knows when, where, or why but it will be back... The beardo project, aiming to make the beards loved by everyone.
