It's been almost 4 weeks. According to Beards.org it's time for that first trim. Sure some of you may hav e trimmed prematurely and some may not yet be ready, but its officially okay now. The Man&re g; is starting to notice. Starting to sweat. Who are these people that dare increase their sweetness to unprecedented levels? How dare they rock the establishment like s o many hurricanes in so many small, but intimate venues? So fine, trim that beard up. They can take away the scraggliness, but they can't take away the sweetness. That's bui lt into every beard we carry.

Welcome to the end of week three. I see a lot of beards and a lot of happy faces. Transformations of the mind and revolutions of the face. This time of year in particular the clean shaven, string laden puppets of The Man™ would have you believe that beards aren't cool. They would suggest happiness comes f rom gift giving, receiving, and above all consuming, the products of other beardless actors for the sole benefit of the bottom line. Happiness came niether from the creation of the products nor will it come from the consumption thereof. Happiness comes not from material things, happiness is delivered in beard sized boxes.

Our real live original server came back today! As soon as DNS settles down we should have sweetbeard running at full capacity and not greedily swindling resources from friends. Sure it could be a seamless transition, but where's the fun in that? Your mileage may vary, but in the next couple of days the response time should be noticeably quicker . Keep those updates coming, I've noticed a lot of truely sweet beards emerging and its only been a week! Imagine the lives that could be changed in six weeks.

As we come to the close of this our first week of growing, I think we should all take pause to mentally reflect on our many blessings. Each blessing that spings forth from our face, however short or patchy, reflects back to us in the very physical mirrors of our bathrooms. It's a time to ponder other patchy things: pumpkins for instance. A pumpkin grows in a patch, and much like the hair on a man's face it can be orange, and that's okay. I hope the holiday will give our pogonotrophists the rest they so desperately need, and the vitamins and minerals consumed in turkey, gravy, pie, television, sleeping, a little extra dressing since you're passing by, turkey sandwiches, and other forms will nourish the seedlings of hope that are our whiskers. The Indians would have wanted it this way. The Pilgrims had it this way, and even God suggests it.

The day is upon us! Everyone check in with baby faced slickness as soon as possible, which since the site had to move servers and is semi to completely broken, will maybe be closer to the end of the day today. Duct tape, band-aids, and chewing gum have all been extensively utilized to get things working as well as they do now, but more work could be done. If you haven't already, create a profile, set your goal configuration and date, and blog the crap out of us, or whatever it is the Web x.0 kids are doing these days. Join up and get growing.

"Not I," said the cat. So really, more stuff was added, and we didn't say it would be up until the 15th. So there.

I know, I know, I suck. I really wanted a sweet, sweet 70s theme for the site but it get to hard to find items and ideas to inspire me. Now I've tried to go for a simpler look. One that is less busy on the eyes. Or as Maverick put, "the brown like poop color". Whatever. Most beards are brown. So this website is brown. If I get a wild hair up my ass or become overly creative, I'll make a 70s theme.

Most people already want a beard, but we understand that some of the public has been misled by the liberal media. For those few we offer a justification page backed by hard science.

We want YOU to have a sweet beard and show us how it came to be.
