Life Lessons: Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Over the past few weeks I've been growing out my beard. Last week I wanted to shave it, but a coworker convinced me we should both keep our facial hair (he'd been growing a beard as well) until the end of the week. On Thursday, the amazing idea popped into my head that we should establish "Mustache Monday." The idea was to keep our beards until Sunday, and then shave them in time for work on Monday, leaving only a mustache. And here's what I learned. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should do something. I do not wear a Fu Manchu well. I'd planned to take a picture of what I'd sported all day to work, but I forgot and I was in a rush to shave before I saw Inception (which was an incredible film. I recommend it to everyone). The image below give's you a (scarily accurate) representation of what I looked like. Let this be a cautionary tale.Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

About the facial hair. I have nothing to say. About Inception--why is it that everyone who is commenting on it seems to be in some sort of stupor? I'm thinking about seeing it and as we all know, I can't afford to have my mind messed with--too many lost cells and all of that--so, what do you think?

I love your facial hair. It reminds me of sandpaper. P.s. you are the first erson I am following! I am not sure how it works but I clicked the button and here we are. The only following purposes I know, are on twitter when some athletes follow hoochies for a day or two to kook up when they are town. There will be no such relationship in our follower-followed entity.
