Beardos

So this might seem a bit obvious, but I have noticed a rather large amount of dudes with beards, not that I have a problem with this, men are entitled to trends also. My Dad had a beard when I was growing up. When I was 12 he shaved it off and really freaked me and my brother out...Mr. All of the Sudden Stranger....it was really eerie. I also recall the "post shave shock" when I was dating a this guy named David, when I met him he had a devil beard and stache...after about a couple of months he showed up at my house shaved and all of those feelings of "wow! who the hell ARE you?" came back...he got angry and called me shallow for being freaked out, I calmly told him that it is not your face that is freaky, just the difference. So yeah maybe I am a little jealous that I can't be all mysterious and bearlike.





There are a lot of guys (like this one on my bus) who remind me of the "last days of Jim Morrison" Let's hope they are doing better than Jim:






I wonder how it all started and who is responsible: it can't be him:
He is too 70's. No, i think that it is someone more like Sam Beam, intense yet sensitive:

and yet still i think not!...there is only one who can have this much social impact, almost to the supernatural realm, yeah, you know who:




but i do not think he really looked like that, but more like this:




What a great role model, he was a rebel, wouldn't stone you for being a whore, turned water to wine....okay so it ended badly, but everyone knows who he is.
But I want to reiterate that this is in NO way a dis to beardos...i like beards, a lot of great men had and have beards, ummmm...like:

he reminds me of my Pop




and who can forget......a super wise and ancient beardo.
what about:
he gives gifts to all
and is loved by children These guys are cool, women go crazy bout' them.

This guy is NOT cool:




this guy could be cool, but his appetites consumed him:






this guy was a total dick face:

So I suppose you could say that it is not the beard that makes the man, its the man that makes the beard. Here's to you, beardos and to your whiskers that tickle my various body parts

First of all, yay! You have a blog!!! I love it!

Secondly, I am noticing a critical mass of beards and beard themed or titled blogs on my Villager blog list. This wasn't intentional, I have nothing to do with it, and I'm not sure how it happened. You don't even have a beard and you're blogging about beards. It's one of those things that makes me walk around with these things:"???" perpetually floating over my head.

Why doesn't anyone blog about tattoos anymore?
