The Journey Begins
Day One

Today was the start of No Shave November. The point is to not shave the entire month of November, if that wasn't already obvious enough. I think it originated as a pseudo-joke college students would do every year: just let your facial hair grow and not give a shit. I also read that it was to raise testicular cancer awareness. I doubt this is true, but it would be nice to get this thing involved with some sort of charity. When I asked my boss if it was ok for me to not shave all month long, he asked if it was for charity. I told him no, but either way, he was fine with it. I'm planning on taking a picture each day and writing my thoughts throughout the month, just to entertain myself, and anyone else who happens to read this.

So, here we are:

The hair has been growing all day, but, so far, not much progress. This is expected, however, since I don't grow facial hair very quickly. It also grows very sporadically, so I'm excited and horrified to see how it turns out. In the pictures, you can't tell any difference, but if I look in the mirror, I can see a very small stubble forming.
