Beards

I can't grow a beard. The hair on my face comes in red even though in college my hair went dark brown. There are also lots of patches where no hair on my face grows at all... so when I try to grow it out I get a lot of people saying "Your face looks kind of dirty."

I played a cowboy in a touring show of a western Beauty and the Beast and the director asked me to grow out my moustache. I did this (the moustache grows in full) but as soon as the stage lights hit it, it almost literally dissapeared. I ended up having to darken it with an eyebrow pencil which for a guy is an absolute ego buster.

When I see pictures of my biological father, his facial hair was very dark and very thick... Sure seems like he could have given me that gene. Maybe he didn't want me to have it... like it was a big responsibility or something.

If you're wondering the guy in the picture is a JaCKPie member named Shannon Jenkins. He flaunts his beard around and makes sure he has lots of stubble on his face to taunt me. He will pay for this one day, but he doesn't know that yet... Of course he reads this blog so I guess he knows now.
