the goat

when sonny came back from the yukon he was sporting a goatee. his mother and grandparents didn't like it. that was enough for me, i decided to grow a goatee myself. somewhere along the line sonny decided to get rid of the goatee leaving me as the only fool with a goatee. on the one hand i want to get rid of it or quit shaving all together and let the grey hair have it's way with my face. i decided to take a photo, maybe that would help me make the big decision.

after looking at the photo i had an epiphany!



my eyes aren't bloodshot!

holy christ, another benefit of beating alcohol.

so i got that going for me too, which is nice.

I am not a fan of the facial hair on women..but it looks good on some men...and you being one of them.

I did the goatee thing for a while.
It felt like my chin was still wet for hours after I washed my face,so I ended up shaving it off.
Like you,I was incredibly handsome with my salt and pepper gig,so I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

It makes you look very wise, like a psychiatrist...
Doc, I might be crazy but I think Obama has proven himself to be lair, a puppet of the global elite...Sorry, I don't know if I can trust a psychiatrist who's eyes aren't bloodshot.

Maybe your eyes arn't bloodshot because of low blood pressure.
I can't grow a beard or goatee. I think it must be my Indian blood.
My beard is all gray and just comes out like spikes no matter how long I grow it.

tex - a psychiatrist? so that's why they kicked me out of scientology.

mr wit - low blood pressure? i hadn't thought of that. i better go smoke something to test the theory.

Somehow I missed this yesterday. I don't know how I do that.

I have recently found that I love facial hair on men. My X could not grow hair on his face to save his soul.

Your soul seems to be well saved. And the eyes... clear and bright... yay!
