I did not go to church today. I will not watch the Super Bowl today. Hell, I didn't even know it was today until someone told me. Am I even American?

Beard On Jan 2018
A video update.
All my Tattoos, I mean Love
My tattoo journey was a very long, unplanned sequence of events filled with missteps, impulsive decisions and ultimately pain, sacrifice and significant financial output to reach my current state of satisfied completion. Some of my brethren in ink will claim the tattoo journey is never truly over, but barring some unforeseeable circumstance, the desire to …
Approaching the first month’s stop on my Minox Train
I was going to post some updated pictures, but there's no point since I have no results yet. I'm not discouraged as results this early would be an outlier.
