How the beard came to be

Alright, so its fairly obvious as to why I'm called the bearded one, but for anyone who cares to give a shit here goes.

I basically decided to grow it for a year as an experiment.  After the year was up, I decided to keep it.  Over the course of the year, I took a picture everyday just to do a quick time lapse video.  Watch and.. enjoy, I guess?  Whatever, comment, dislike it, I don't care.
