Some people would say that by beginning the year without a clean-shaven face, that I am somewhat of a cheat. I argue that if I started the year with a clean-shaven face that I would be starting the year as a pre-pubescent child. Because really, what makes a man a man if it's not his beard?
As I begin the quest for my beard to grow to a length that it has never been before, I will take pride in having a head start on the year. The last time my beard was cut short was in September of '09. The last time it was trimmed was in November of '09. The last time I was beardless, I was probably twelve.
With respect to my mustache, I am somewhat conflicted: my burrito-eating has been affected by the mouth-curtain portion of my mustache. Burrito eating is an activity that is very important to me, and though I don't find the taste of mustache hairs to be unpleasant, I prefer to eat my burritos without any hair-pulling sensations. Because I'm not trimming my beard, and I generally consider any hair below the eyes and above the collarbone part of the beard (save only the most exceptional unibrows) I am inclined to refrain from using scissors on my mustache.
I believe the best solution to my somewhat elusive problem is to religiously employ copious amounts of mustache wax. I have, however, taken some counsel on the matter, and it seems that my view on the mustache's part in the beard is not necessarily the unanimous opinion (I would appreciate anyone's opinion on the matter who would like to weigh in).
So, dear readers, here we are at the beginning of a new year with a relatively fresh beard gracing the face of many a man in this glorious year of abstaining from trimming, and extravagant beard growth. Our beards shall conquer any boyish demeanor remaining on our faces, and we shall conquer the clean-shaven world with our beards.
"May your beard ever grow longer."
