Tragedy Strikes
I have often fantasized about going back to age fourteen and doing things differently. Now, after a fashion, I have my chance. Earlier this week, tired of constant itching and general discomfort, I shaved off my goatee. I feel it was a good decision, even though it significantly reduced my apparent age. This morning, however, a tragedy occurred -- while trimming my sideburns, I exposed a significant chunk of bare skin, right in the middle of my existing sideburn. Any attempt at a comb-over was clearly a fool's errand, and so I had no choice but to shave them off entirely.
I am now a completely clean-shaven, respectable young man.
This post significantly dumbs down the tone after Anthony's post below, and it is overly personal to the point of absolutely no one caring about it -- but I figure I had better enjoy the ability to do this kind of thing while I can, before this site really hits the big time.
On another note: it's well known that women usually don't trim their body hair into clever configurations. The options seem to be either a clean sweep or letting it grow. And yet -- why not shave lightning bolts into one's leg hair? That'd be pretty sexy, in my opinion.
