So, Jason is a funny guy. At least thats his reputation in my family. It takes awhile to get to know him, but once you do, you realize that he's quite laid back and funny. One of the things that I love and hate at the same time about him is his absolute disregard of what others think of him. While his self-confidence is something to be admired, sometimes his lack of caring is annoying. It means I can't ever convince him to wear certain clothing or present himself in a particular manner. Which brings me to the topic of facial hair. And really for that matter, his head of hair, or lack of. When I married this charming young man, I had to accept the fact that he was balding. And that was alright with me. What I didn't agree with was his desire to "Beat the baldness." He had accepted the fact that baldness was in his future but he was determined to do it on his own time, not natures. We fought A LOT about this. I wanted to enjoy "Jason w/hair" for as long as possible. He didn't.

So one fateful morning, I made the mistake of leaving him at home, alone. He picked a perfect day to pull his little stunt. There was a family birthday party that night. I was already there, he was getting a ride. I remember the exact spot I was standing in when I stared at the little red Geo my grandma drives and thought, "Who did she bring with her?!" And then it hit me, she brought Jason. That funky looking bald man climbing out of the car belongs to me. Perfect setting to make a grand entrance, I was shocked and annoyed in front of our entire family.

Since then, I have grown use to the almost hairless Jason. So in an attempt to find something new to annoy me with, and out of boredom he so claims, he tries out new facial hair styles. At first I have to admit that I found it slightly embarrassing. Now, I just laugh it off.

I wonder what he will try next to annoy me. Luckily piercings and tattoos aren't an option.

Amy, don't you know that's guys' only saving grace upon going bald is to just shave it and have the "cool" bald look and not the "my hair is obviously leaving me" look?
Jason sounds like a cool guy. I'm not loving the facial hair style in the second from the bottom picture. And what the heck are the pictures with the Beatles hair?
You are too creative with your posts! I have no time to use my creative juices with my blogs...."Meet my bleeker" was the best of the creativiness! Anyway.....love the post! You are too funny!
Take care of my Ms. Stacia for me while I am gone....she may need a few more diet cokes or shakes for McDs'!
See you in 13 days!
Alicia- Doesn't he look a tad bit like Uncle Rico? We we're at an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" Party. I'll have to do a post of that event some other time!
Jason is a designer at heart and sometimes when he uses himself as a palate...well, it can be questionable...however we have all come to love the way he annoys Amy and I think we will always continue to love the way he annoys Amy...and hair or no hair...Jas you rock!! (hahaa...that's not got anything to do with the pond either!!)
**Request**---make a video of Soph and Pablo...
Sure beats the comb over.
My favorite one is the mustache that goes down his chin. He looks like a country western star. Or a bounty hunter. That is boss.
He does look like Uncle Rico! I was trying to figure out who the picture reminded me of, until I read your comment! Hilarious!
He looks way better without hair, a bit more perverted but better. I so don't remember the stacheard, but yeah, most definalely "boss"
Haha....cool mustache beard thing. At least he isn't growing what is left out long all mullet-style or opting for a comb over? Either would be hilarious (for me though...not so much for you I would imagine.)
I haven't seen Jason with hair until now.
When Aaron and I started dating he had awesome long skater hair it keeps getting shorter and shorter. He has no balding excuse so its not acceptable.
I think his next stunt should be to grow out his ear hair and use that to comb over his head.
About the balding... this could so be my story. Except I saw the final project and just shrugged. Oh well.
BILL said... I absolutely love his sense of humor. Kinda like my own I guess. He seems like a guy that I could get along with fo sho. I did that same kind of thing once. The night before a family vacation I bleached my hair purely for the shock value. Anyways, this is Alicia's Bill.
I love the fu man chu. When I was 16 I was convinced that I was going to go bald early, since everyone on BOTH side of my family do. So I started to call the rogain people. They told me they couldn't help till the folicles started to die off. I must say that I am shocked that I haven't yet to make that fateful call.
So was he dressed up as Ron Burgandy, or some hipster named Chet?
Who cares how silly it looks? Crazy facial hair is the bomb dot com. When I grew my fu man chu out so I could be Paul Teutul Sr. from American Choppers, I had to wear it for like three weeks before Halloween. The stares and attention I got were well worth the abuse from Nancie. Unfortunately for Nancie, this post has probably given me the courage to ignore Nan and wear a pedo-stach in public, kind of like the one I wore when I was Nacho. Thanks Jason. You're an inspiration to us all. And thanks for the nudge Amy.
