It's wrong to think a beard can solve the problems of the world or be something that you can hide behind. It does itch a lot though and it gets in the way when drinking things like hot chocolate. Some people said I didn't have what it took to be a beard wearing person and I think they were right.
I would like to thank my friend Pete for capturing this moment and enhancing it in so many ways, not least by providing the interesting music.
Thanks for all your comments. I'll get back to all of you who left an email soon. I'd like to bring your attention to Patrick's beard video that he sent me a link to. His beard is much more stylish than mine.
This video seems to have made its way round the houses. Since the video was featured on BoingBoing things went a bit crazy. See what The Beard Community Bulletin Board had to say about it.
