"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

To Shave or Not to Shave

~I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

I debated taking a break from blogging because I've tried to be so on top of it... cuz that makes sense... but then I decided I have too much to say :) Even though I believe my journal suffers a little because of my blogging.

Alright, facial hair. I do not like it. I guess it looks alright on some people but still... I think it makes people look messy and un-kept. But that's just me. I'm honestly really glad that BYU has standards for facial hair. Though I don't agree with the allowance of mustaches... Haha, it was pretty funny (and sad) when I was actually at a computer testing lab when a guy was told he had to go shave in the restroom or go home and shave because he wasn't going to be able to take his test. Thing is, you could hardly see he had facial hair at all...

I guess I have a strong opinion about it but not tons to say. It's simple to me-I don't like it :)
