Greetings my fellow compadre's in the faith. I hope my blog encourages you to respond to my dilemma. What dilemma, you ask...well it's kind of personal...down right noticeable if you ask me. It's my goatee...you see I haven't been giving it much attention lately. What kind of attention, it's facial hair? You know...like finding the next facial-hair treatment to keep it's luster, or owning the goatee certified trimmer. Nor have I been able to manage it's activity of growth for some time.
Why should you care? Well almost a decade ago I set out on this journey to grow and develop a healthy looking goatee. Upon meeting Darrin Ray over 2 years ago and then this past year, John Holllan, both which possess and have developed healthy looking facial hair inspired me to keep going. Both gentlemen I highly admire.
Notice in this goofy looking picture...see Darrin...see how nicely connected his facial hair is on both sides of his mouth? Notice me for a second...you see me...sticking my lips out...what do you see? I know, you see a ridiculous looking pose. No connection on the sides of my mouth between the chin fuzz and the lip jazz. Noting is going on there. I've considered trying Chia PetTM ointment to cover the gap area. Nothing is going on there...it's disturbing to me how the greatness of a completed goatee will make you feel most confident about your facial appearance. Weird I know.
Therefore I need your help...
Do I shave it clean to give my goatee a new beginning to connect it's roots and fill in the gap area or do I keep it and continue to nourish it in hopes of it connecting through longer lip hair or chin fuzz. What do you think?
Answer either YES to Shave it! Or, NO don't shave it.
Take this next week and respond, and before the new semester begins we will take a Wednesday night Mid-Week service and announce the winning poll of either those in favor to shave it or keep it. The winning team will either see my face shaven after Mid-Week is over or still hanging on to the goatee.
Cast your vote and let me know how to solve this dilemma!
