I will check out that contest. And who knows, maybe if my beard becomes manly enough, maybe I'll take some road trips to various beard contests and meet some Tlers along the way.

A hiccup I can think of is making your money your own way often has something to do with interacting with customers. Customers are often intimidated by manly beards although the picture now does look professional ;p

Dog walking and walking stick making could get a minimalist by but not one or the other. As far as other ideas go.... are you good at repairing or building things/technology? Maybe some kind of other carpentry like being a "handy man" for hire?

EDIT: obviously grow the beard.

Beards are manly.

Always have a back up plan.

Cats fill me with joy.

Hahah yeah I grow chops many times. I usually have to shave after a few weeks at the most otherwise my wife is not happy. Currently I have a chin strap (due to lazy shaving days) but every few weeks I try something new.I should make a facial hair blog myself haha.

I really reallly want a nice chops handle bar combo but she equates that to kissing a dog and will not do it no matter what. T_T

That sounds like the perfect job to combine with your balloons and magic. Great way to get new clients while on the clock

I'm so jealous.

I want a John Petrucci/Jesus beard but all I can grow atm is mexican fuzz moustache, some chin hair, and that dirty crappy neck hair that is impossible to completely shave off. Basically a hobo beard, except not the cool kind of the thin and dirty looking ones that make people want to shave them off themselves.

Hopefully I can get something more respectable by the time I'm 20 or so :S

@Tonight....

Are you growing your beard back!?!?!

@Geovu

The beard will come in time

Sometimes it doesn't come all the way in until age 25.

That picture is old, but yes I am. It's already back in prime form. Not nearly as big as yours, but still with these chilly days approaching the time is now.
