cleanshaven is ok unless you look 15 when you are cleanshaven. it just sucks to shave all the time. I am your age pretty much and I look good cleanshaven imo

That is exactly my problem. I look pubescent when I shave. Also I hate my chin and the goatee hides it sort of. Also also I HATE having to shave all the time; I only ever trim like once a month anyway.

Just went back to cleanshaven a couple weeks ago and, not surprisingly, it looks more or less the same as not-quite-cleanshaven. I have 5 o'clock shadow at 8 a.m. regardless.

So I finally put two and two together that one of the doctors/research labs that I bring coffee to about three times a week (work at a cafe in a hospital, fyi) is a kind-of-a-big-deal expert on AIDS/HIV research and responsible for the most visible criticism of Canada's antiquated ban on blood donation by MSM.

Anyway, I bumped into him in the hallway this morning and randomly gave him props for being an advocate for rational science and so forth, which started off really awkward but ended up kind of cool? when he found out i was moving to toronto (ugh) for law school, he mentioned a bunch of interesting legal advocacy stuff going on there.

re: shaving - i look decent clean-shaven, good scruffy but AWFUL with 'actual' facial hair.
― Alex in Montreal, Saturday, 5 June 2010 00:30 (fourteen years ago) link
no one, NO ONE looks awful with "actual" facial hair.
― Tori, I must seem greatly intriguing (Stevie D), Saturday, 5 June 2010 00:43 (fourteen years ago) link
that is not true
― what it feels like for a goon (The Reverend), Saturday, 5 June 2010 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
well, maybe my problem is i can't grow actual facial hair that is robust enough to look good, but i maintain that many facial hair-havers would look better sans.

Saw the doc for annual physical yesterday. Thanks, Doc, for pointing out that I was 25 lbs lighter ten years ago.

Hi gays, btw. I'm a friend of Morbs's through baseball. I would introduce myself via shirtless pic, but that seems presumptuous.

Also elmo, I got back from California too (though this was a few weeks ago). I had a similar thing happen while at Pt Dume on my birthday, this incredible feeling came over me and I thought, "What is this strange sensation?" I realized it was happiness and lack of stress and anxiety. And then of course I got back to NYC and immediately I get tension in my shoulders and neck. Hope your Cali grooviness lasts longer than mine did.

also billy, i am def still feeling groovy. i've been dealing with a lot of family shit this past year and taking some time away was v helpful for me getting some perspective on and *emotional* distance from all that. feeling like a new elmo tbh.

as in the one on the right...they were pretty good, too, kinda sounded like Bikini Kill.
i know i started this thread but i meant it as more a life philosophy as opposed to a photo album theme. i kinda think self-portraits should be reserved for our haircuts tbh.
