Finding this thread is a strange coincidence.

Hours ago I used electric shears to removed a grotesquely long beard that made me look like a bum. I had high-quality shaving accessories that I purchased 4 years ago, yet never used, and I'm clean-shaven for the first time in over 17 years.

The freshly-shaven skin is so smooth and I realize that while my body may be ugly and useless, my face is still quite handsome.

I think that I may be entering a manic phase.
