New pic of my beard

Here is an updated picture of my beard.  It was quite humid this day so my beard  was a bit 'fluffy' (yes the humidity negatively effects my beard :P )

Random pic of my and my beard

I'm in the background throwing a shocker.  The end.

Random trip to NYC

Name: Random People

Reaction: Mixed

Location: NYC

The story:

As some of you might know, I live about 30 minutes outside of New York City.  Because of this i tend to frequent NYC a few times of month.  Because of this I often get people that give me quick one liners or the occasional compliment about the furriness which is my face.  This past weekend I spent a fair amount of time in NYC with my girlfriend (yes I know it's shocking) and her friends. Here are a few of the comments that I remember from that weekend: 

"Hey man, nice whiskers" - Drunk Guy on Metro North

"Yo man, thats a sweet ass beard" - Random guy on the street

"Fuck you, mine is bigger" - Homeless guy on the side of the road… and it's true, his was bigger :(

"Yo, you missed a spot" - Girl on the side of the road rubbing her chin

"Wowww… " - kid walking by me on the lwer east side while eating dinner

"Hey, that rocks! My lady wouldn't let me wear one, nor would work, but man, I sure wish I could have that" - Conductor on Metro North

"Fuck you and your beard" - Homeless man just outside of Korea-town

a group of children walking behind me in Grand Central Terminal  just giggling with the occasional "It's so big and red, how did he grow it??"

Starbucks in Columbus Ohio

Name: My Barista "Jenni"

Reaction: Appreciation

Location: Starbucks

The story:

While in Starbucks, the woman just stops and looks at me. Then, out of no where said something to the effect of  "It's weird, I don't think I've ever seen someone with a beard like that.  It's as if the top half of your head has nothing to do with the bottom half of your head. You know what?  If your face was on one of those games where you match the top half of the face with the bottom half of the face you would totally win cause no one would be able to match the 2" 

"Haha, You are absolutely right, i would totally win! Actually, that's not a horrible idea maybe I will create that for this blog I run, It's called 'People I Meet Through My Beard .com'" I replied. Then the girl who was actually making my coffee chimes in and says that she thinks that I should enter into the beard competition that they have out in Alaska.  I then explain to her that i think you need to be in part of a beard club in order to get sponsored to go  out there.  

"Maybe you should start your own club! Then you could send yourself and win!" she said back to me.  "Ya, I guess I could do that huh?  Then I would need more people in my club though" I then look at a third Starbucks employee with a scraggly mustache "You could be in my club!"  Then we all laughed and I received my coffee.  Bid all of them fair well and departed the Starbucks.
