Yes, full beard. It hurt.

When I was younger, I had this idea that I could control pain with my mind. I do something like "segment" the pain in my brain. For instance, if you pull a hair, that hair comes from a location that's 1 billionths of my total body. So, I think "the rest of my body feels fine!" And the pain goes away, and I don't feel it.

Don't know if I explained that right or not.. Anyway, I probably won't do it again, but no more "shadow"! Freaking awesome.
