No Shave November (Year two, month long blog) 2008


ENTRY ONE: November 1st
------------------------------
Uh huh. It's true. I'm doing it again. If you haven't already read it, go back to my blogs and read last years no shave November blog. It was a good experience, so I'm participating in growvember again. Except I shaved on the 30th, not the 31st. We (Hyland) had this show in Montana. It was cool. Anyway, I missed a few hairs on my soul patch area but they'll blend right in with my beard..here it comes!

Proof that I am clean shaven, and I'm not giving myself a head start.

I know it's weird to see my face all bare like this. But no need to worry, it'll be all bear like normal soon.

------------------------------
ENTRY TWO: November 18th
------------------------------
Okay, it's been about a half of one month now. That's a lot of quality time with me and my beard. I bet you all want to see it, right? Well..here's a closeup of some madness currently taking over my face like teenagers at a mall on a Saturday. Excuse me whilst I shudder in remembering my gruesome days at Caribou in the Rosedale Mall.

Drink of choice by teens and pre-teens alike. Don't forget the whip cream!


Okay so photobooth doesn't have the best quality in photos. But you can clearly see the awesomeness on my face. Note the darkness on my upper lip? It's from being a man and working all day. Blowing leaves and whatnot. After I showered it disappeared, but as many know, showering washes color from facial hair. Well, I'm quite excited for what the end of the month brings. I know I was quite surprised with last years results! This year is sure to be better, since I'm older and much more mature. You can tell by the way I act.

ENTRY THREE: November 24th
------------------------------
Well. Something very...strange..is happening..I am not sure if this no shave november is going as planned..

------------------------------
ENTRY FOUR: December 2nd
------------------------------
Alright. December has crept up upon us all which means a few things..one..SANTA IS COMING!! yessss!!! And I guess there's some new thing going around about Christmas where some dude named Jesus has his birthday..or something..I donno..i guess some people care about that but I don't get it. Presents are so much better!


OMGPRESENTS!

Two: No Shave November has sadly come to an end. It was very good for me. I got a lot of compliments on my face (as usual) but this time it was for the hairs growing from it. I recall one day where the guys in the band were all like..so you're shaving that right? And I was like ..so what you're really trying to say is you can see it!!

It was exactly what they were trying to say. I showed up to a photoshoot a few days before December officially began and Steve goes ..you know, I really thought you'd shave it. Well sorry Steve, I guess our promos will just have to have super hi-res photos of my awesomehotbeard. As I said before, this year was much better than last. Here is a photo of what it ended up like. I was roaming around looking for some breakfast on the 30th and my roommate Joel snapped this picture of me and my beard:


I was really craving honey and children this specific morning

So December 1st shows up and I decide it's time to shave. I was pretty sure my hair growing got a littttttle bit out of hand. So I started shaving around 12:45pm on the first and literally JUST got done cleaning my face up of the hair. Here's a picture of the progress as I was almost done shaving the hair off:


I still had some left on my chin and upper lip, as well as the rest of my face which is harder to see with the photobooth quality photos

And after I ran out of razors (I went through like fifty..which is costly..) I took a picture of my clean hairless face. Well I missed a spot under my nose, but here's what it looks like, back to "normal"


psh. What's normal about getting rid of the hair God grants your face? Society these days..

Well I would just like to leave you all with one final thought and statement. You are all hatin' on me and my hairless face, which is fine because the real reason behind the hate was made clear to me by my pastor back home around Thanksgiving*. He said, in all of his years of wisdom, that God only gave a few people a perfect face. The rest he covered in hair. This is sensical because many women don't have hair on their face and women are beautiful. Ugly ones get mustaches. Some men, few and the most fair of all, do not need hair to cover up their face. Well, now you know why I can't really

*Editors note: Thanksgiving is this awesome holiday about how some proper looking pirates came to America, woo'd the natives into having a big old party with lots of food and then killed them for not having a horn of plenty (or a cornucopia) on the table at the feast. This was not proper at all. There should ALWAYS be one of these on a table at a feast! Best of all, the pirates got to keep the land. So we celebrate this party every year with food and many people in the world celebrate the killing thing year round. It's not my style but some people sure seem to like it. Most people just watch it on TV.
grow facial hair...but that doesn't mean I won't keep trying! See you next year.
