Novembeard is in full swing. I can honestly say this is the first time I have participated in it. My wife would constantly nag at me to shave, I felt people at work were shaming me into shaving.

I got tired of the bullshit. My wife tried to push me into shaving last week because "I wouldn't look good enough for pictures with her."

One of the first things her mom does is take a family photo of us on my daughters birthday party 11/7/15.

I'm to the point where I say fuck you woman, I live for my own happiness first and if you join in my happiness so be it.

It also helps that I'm off my death enhancement medication. Loving life again. I won't let some asshole bring me down due to their jealous nature. But I will admit the last time I went Solo, I cracked underneath the pressure...the fear of the unknown...fuck that shit.

Go men! Grow your beards! See how manly you look on Nov 30th. Then say fuck the system and grow it to Dec 31st. Or trim it, beautify it, whatever. Up to you. Just don't shame your fellow man and tell any women to go shit on themselves if they try to emasculate you.
