Beards

During the duration of Holy Week 2013, I've met a lot of peeps that I haven't seen in a long time and it's quite funny to see them squint and stare at me from afar and if they're in a group, whisper to each other to confirm if it's really me they're seeing. One comment that I enjoy hearing (besides the "you got handsomer" comment)  is that "you have a beard that's why we couldn't tell" comment. I always liked having a beard and a few of my close friends and family members *cough,cough* parents *cough* don't understand why I have one. I would like to list down a few of my favorite reasons on why I have a beard.

1.) It's a useful deviating topic from the usual shit people keep asking like "Are you married?", "Do you have kids?", "Do you plan on getting thinner?" (By the way, to the people who ask me this..fuck you. Suck a bag of dicks.) Sure, those topics will be brought up eventually but with the beard, you can counter with your own questions after they ask why you have said beard and if it all works well, you've moved on to better topics.
2.) I can grow my beard to good proportions (like James Harden-esque) I like that in my little circle of friends, I am the only one who can do this.  I also like how I look with the beard on. It may be a part of my persona too nowadays...
3.)  It hides my chin :D
4.)  And finally, Beards often signify that a person is deep, mysterious, brooding and has a lot on his mind. I like those concepts that come with beards when in truth, I'm just a nerd thinking bout Mahvel and Chicken 90% of the time lolz.

So, that's me.
Later.
