Hello, my name is Jess. I spell it Jes to eliminate some of the confusion of being called Jeff. I have suffered from this most of my life. I used to imagine I had a speech impediment that caused my s to sound like an f, I didn't. I have a prejudice when it comes to people named Jeff, I don't like you, but I try.
I am a semi-professional beard grower. Not professional in the sense that I get paid for it, but professional in the sense that it's the only thing I do consistently.
I write. I don't care to share it. I never complete a story, or anything else for that matter.
I am, however, excited to be part of this community. I am a reader & pop culture whore.

Welcome, man.

Even before I got to the beard part, I was gonna say, "Whoa...now that's one helluva beard. What can you hide in it?"

A lot of things. Mostly pencils & straws, sometimes I hide buffalo sauce & bleu cheese.

Welcome Jes. I too am an avid beard wearer, but mine lacks the volume of your inspiring beard. Your pic reminds me of Ra Scion from Common Market. Enjoy your stay here.

I was lacking a Ra Scion compliment until now. I often get, "That beard is biblical," or a, not so obscure, Rick Ross or Freeway reference. Thank you.

I like you best of all recent new kids. My approval means nothing, but there it is. Just a big ole stain on your welcome thread.

Thanks. I never really sat in the back of the bus. I preferred to be near the front so I could exit before others. I hope I never have to live up to this standard.

Hey welcome to the forums. I used to work with a guy who had a rather large beard like you but his was super red. We called him Epic Beard... so nice Epic Beard man.

Oh and don't worry we don't have "standards"

I have. I earn a weekly pay check. I don't really do anything. I technically get paid to manage a tattoo shop, but it's more like getting paid to hang out with my friends & do rad things.

I think it's an unofficial cult rule to accept anyone that has a beard ...an amazing beard.

welcome to the cult. if you haven't noticed we are obsessed with beards.

Absolutely not. Too much responsibility. I would much rather ruin a mind than a body.

I don't see what the big whoop is. I mean, it's just a beard. You know what you have to do to get a beard? Absolutely nothing. They just show up after a while.
Anyways, not a knock against the new guy or anything. Welcome! Just don't turn out to be just "that beard guy."
