Stir Crazy

So my holiday trip around Spain seems to be a plan for another holiday. Thus far I have accepted the fact that I need to save money and be productive with my time and, despite a ridiculous sleep schedule, I've done pretty well with this goal:

Flies gone from kitchen: Check
Find where to buy soap: Check
Order transcript: Check
Work out: Check
Keep myself alive: Check
Learn Spanish:...next on list


However, while going through this list one slow step at a time, I have had a little extra time on my hands. In addition, no one is back in town yet so this has all been a solo mission and anyone who knows me I don't do that well bummin alone for days on end. And did, I mention I spent 3 hrs one day finding a movie theater so I could see Transformers in English? Well it was definitely and adventure in disguise and I was thus inspired to make my own transformations:



So I hadn't shaved in over a week and it was getting a bit ridiculous....




So I shaved...but left the mustache, but it wasn't a very good one. (ps: I look kinda weird with my hair back like that huh?)










So since the mustache wasn't good enough I figured I'd go for the Captain Morgan rather than the handle-bar mustache









But that picture made me laugh alot.....like this:





So I though maybe if i trimmed it more I could pull off a Captain Morgan pirate look...











The answer was an obvious NO and it made me make this face...







But then I thought...what might help?








This made me laugh again, but then I started twisting my newly drawn mustache and thinking of new ideas....








Although as soon as I saw these I ideas all I could think was "why does anybody ever do this?"




But at this point I had to go ahead and see what the mustache looked like...

Which turned out to be terrible, maybe I shaved too much, maybe its not grown out enough anyway, probably both...so....I guess there is only one thing to do...


Oh, I know you are can't wait to see what I look like....keep in mind, it's been like 4 years...4 years, since anyone saw me clean shaved, 4 years since I even touched my chin....

Crazy I know, just to think about.....its so crazy...

I wonder what I do look like....

Ok ok, here it is....


And I don't even think it looks that weird...could be worse...



And just so you can compare...



So thats what I did with my spare time. First time in sooooo long! Many of you who actually read this have probably never seen me without it, insane I know. So what ya think? could be worse huh? Maybe next I'll shave my head....could be a bit extreme. Well anyway, I've accepted it, and now I'm looking for more exiting things things to fill my last days of holiday, I've been hitting the beaches a bit more so hopefully I'm a little more tan than I am in these pictures. Well for all those back home, I hope all is well and Texas and all of the South isn't falling apart without me.

Four years down the drain......

I think you should shave your head in order to save the south which is falling apart in your absence.

In all seriousness, you look great and we are enjoying your blog.

Hasta luego.

Well, you don't look like Shaggy anymore. Now you look more like Jimmy Neutron.
