The Circle of Stubble

Every now and then, I get tired of maintaining the complicated facial hair styles I like to sport, and just decide to grow out my whole goddamn beard, which you can see is the decision I made the other day.  The beard is growing in earnest.  Then, after a few weeks, I get tired of looking like everybody’s liberal uncle who drinks too much and lost tenure at the university for fingering a freshman in his office between classes, and I shave it all off again and start the process anew.  The hair on top of my head goes through a similar cycle, and in fact I am currently attempting, with equal determination, to grow that out a bit, too.  Wish me luck.  I hope to look like a sexy Zach Galifianakis in a couple months.

This Person Knows the Person Who Had My Phone Number Previously

I know this because she sent me a picture text last night.  No text, just this photo, which appears to be taken with a webcam.  I thought about replying that I did not know her, and then I considered waiting just to see if she would maybe say or do something really embarrassing.

In the end I decided to do nothing.  This is two strange contacts from unknown people since I got this new number.  Apparently, the previous owner both had a lot of friends and is not very good about updating them with his new contact information.

Wait, we can only see your shoulders. How do we know you’re not wearing a tube top?

I’m wearing pasties.  I’m shy.

Actually, I was just trying to show as much as Shatner was showing in that pic.  I guess I went a little too conservative.  You’re not missing anything but underdeveloped pecs and a blinding expanse of untanned Caucasian flesh.
