No trip would be complete
without growing some odd facial hair. There have been mustaches,
beards, half goatees, and none of them have been well received.
For this trip, I tried the unthinkable. I don't even know what to call
it except to say that the inspiration was the biker from the Village
People.
I can't believe I've got a picture of that guy on my website.
I also can't believe I
said this was my inspiration.
It started modestly...as most bad ideas do.
I thought it would be good for a laugh, and then I'd shave it. But
sadly, after a few days, I stared to think it kinda rocked.
Even if it caused Matt to have to look the other way and pretend we
weren't hanging out in public...
And though others prayed I would finally shave...when I actually took a
picture of myself in prayer? I was sold.
In fact, I liked it so much I even kept it when I returned to the
States.
I was then mocked mercilessly and I shaved immediately.
