The all encompassing world of beards

Todays hot topic….BEARDS. I want to know what the public thinks. I myself have recently entered on a beard like venture. At first it was scary. You look scruffy, you get judged. But listen to me my brothers (and sisters, some women are in the same situation) the juice is worth the squeeze.

The world is completely different once you join the facial hair club. You can scare kids with a single glance. You can avoid the police by shaving it off as you will look completely different (yes, thats right just like in the fugetive with Harrison Ford). I feel more of a man. Some would say I look less like one. I would call them fools. Beard = Man, there are the facts.

However it is not all rosey and nice. They itch. Some people are not blessed with complete growth. I am one of those people. You just need to keep the faith. One day you will be the envy of all your friends. I hope to have a 25% increase in beards on campus by then end of this academic year. Remeber "Resist the Shave!" I know its hard…I know.

Tell me your thoughts. Ladies, Gentlemen let me know what you think….beard….good or evil.

Just as an aside thought…..george lucas has a beard…upon further thougth this could be used for either argument : )

blogs, eh?

Well, Blogs. What can you say really? I am not even sure I know what one is let alone what to write in one. So if I stray from the intended purpose of this shiny piece of webspace then I apologise.

Right down to the nitty gritty. What do I plan to do with this blog. I feel today is an important day in the history of shakil's blog. Today will shape its destiny forever. As I sit here I wonder….shall I review films? books? the west midlands poor bus services??? all hot topics I'm sure. Perphaps I should just rant and drone on for paragraphs….Mission Accomplished :)

I am sure I will touch on all of these subjects during the time I am entitled to this blog. As I sit here listening to the theme from the A team and Al Green "Let's stay together" I feel empowered, able to do anything. Blog my way to the top. Even one day find out what a blog is. T'will be a glorious day indeed.
