Legendary or The Normal Dude?

Ever since I saw a guy get stabbed in the throat, there has been kind of an ongoing joke around the work place about me. Have you ever heard any Chuck Norris Jokes? Like Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird... yeah those are like the jokes that have been going around, except they are directed at me, "Jason Moffat The Legend once stitched a guy up in the middle of the road with only a blade of grass." They've even said things like, "Jason Moffat The Legend ran Mt. Marathon in twenty minutes, and took an 18 minute lunch break on top." And the list goes on. That's the stuff I've been dealing with. Flattering, yet annoying, I've been dubbed The Legend.

Changing subjects...

This summer I've grown a pretty awesome beard, if I do say so myself. I've really enjoyed not having to shave every day and I think it's made me look a lot more like a grizzly Alaskan. Tourist just eat that stuff up. But it's just about that time to think about shaving. All good beards must come to an end... Actually I take it back. That's a horrible motto. Beards should never have to end. I'm planning on doing some awesome man-scaping (which is a given, but I still don't know what I'll carve). I am scared what people will think of me without the beard. When Josh cut his mullet, people hated him for it. Hate is a strong word, probably just didn't respect him anymore. Some people up here only know me by my adorable grizzly bearded self. Now I'll just be Jason Moffat the Normal dude. Which is fine I guess.

I was actually really surprised to find out that there are plenty of other beard and moustache enthusiasts around the world, just like me. This clip is from the World Beard and Moustache competition that was held in Anchorage this summer.... yeah, I was there. One of the proudest moments in my life.

If any of you are interested in improving your facial hair, I ran upon a book that might help. The Facial Hair Handbook, written by Jack Passion, world champion beard grower.

Well that's my feelings on beards. Next time, I'll tell you what I think about Moustaches.
