Samson

For years my beard has been a barrier between myself and inclimate weather, savage razors, and the attention of women I would rather not speak to. But no longer! After deciding I wanted to see what my face looked like, I sheared the beard.

Since shaving my beard, I’ve been catcalled twice, asked for my id more times than I can recall, and most recently a Mexican man stared at my crotch for an extended period of time. Admittedly, I was wearing spandex at the time (What? I’m a serious cyclist. Get over it), but this increased attention is something I’m not used to.

where’s the picture, jerkface?
I’m glad you didn’t see this mexican gentleman staring at your crotch as a bad thing.
Maybe you should rock the spandex more often…

I love this post. Pictures would be something of an improvement though.

Was this a delayed reaction to Casino Royale?

Today is a sad day… I don’t know if I agree with your decision here Brian.
