Hello everyone. Man, I just keep on letting far to much time pass here at FA. I miss you all so much, but I am trying to keep up with a few of you, but even that falls apart at times. Miss wishing so many of you a happy birthday, but I hope that will change soon and I get back into the feel of things once more.

Saying that, I hope you all had a nice Halloween? I had a normal one for a Mystic Minotaur and looking forward to The Day of The Dead as well.Busy busy Minotaur.

And to keep myself even more busy, I am going to have a Week of the Bear going on as well. What that means is that for one week starting today, I will be doing some small things for  bb for the 7th is his cub day. So the Mystic Minotaur will be doing a few nice things for the bear, seeing how the bear himself has been helping me out during here and there. So I wanted to do this for him and start by making this The Week of The Bear. I am sure he will be surprised by this. Hehehee...and I want to take the time to thank all of you for your well wishes and what you could to to help him out as well.*Hugs you all*

So by all means wish him a happy Week of the bear and a happy birthday on the 7th of Nov. And thank you all for waiting around for his silly Mystic Minotaur to show back up.

*Hug and licks for you all*

No no, I am not 100 years old today, but I am 55 years old today. Just another 45 years to go to reach that goal. No, this just so happens to be my 100th journal, on top of this being my "Calf Day" and what a day it is starting out to be.

Here I was sure I see maybe three or four shout outs,but you all have fool me. I see so far 30 of them and counting. A few from a few furs I didn't ever think would give me a shout out. Man, you guys know how to make a big not so mean, minotaur feel loved and wanted. Thank you all for your shout outs, the art, notes and emails. Wow, I had no idea, so many have been touch by my being in this world for the now past 55 years.

So many things have happen since the last journal I did. I will not bore you all with most of it, but some of you know my good friend  BB is without a home right now and I been doing what I can to help him out. And many of you have done what you can also and I thank you for the aid many of you step up to help him out with.

So my plans for the cons are I think I might not make AC this year, but I do plan on getting to MFF for sure. And if all things stay as they are, there might be a big move for this minotaur by the summer. We will see how that works out.

Well that is all I have time right now to say, but once more I want to thank you all for your help with  BB, and for all of the many things so many of you have done to make this old minotaur feel loved and appreciated over this past year. And I look forward to being a good and proud friend to each and everyone of you.

Hello everyone,

Well, it is that time of the year where I am off to Califur and planning on having a better time than I did last year. This time I will be staying at the hotel with  blueeyedwolf  pawfan and  omni-aura And hoping to meet up with a few other furs as well.

So a few of you I am sure by not have taken note of the new avatar I am spoting. Well you can thank  trashedbat And just in time for this will help me keep the near mindless zombies that the con under my control, so I can have some of the best eats around there. (Zombies know all the good folks to eat after all).

So everyone have a great weekend and hope to hear from many of you again real soon.

*Hug and licks*

Meanbeard

Before I get started I wanted to thank everyone for being there for my birthday and the nice things you all said and did. Many thanks! *Hug*

Now for this meme. I did answer this for a few others so here it is now on my journal.

YOU JUST WOKE UP NAKED IN BED NEXT TO ME..... using only 3 words. What would you say to me???

And if you comment you gotta post this too so I can comment on yours!

Hello everyone,

Yes, today March 8th is my calf day and in less than 18 hours 54 years ago, I came into this world or so I am told. So here I am now moving into my 54 year on this planet and so happy to have so many of you as friends, sons, grandsons, nephews, a few bros, slaves and pets. Thank you all for your love to this silly old mystic minotaur. You all warm my cold heart and make it feel like it can beat again with the love you all show, in your cards, well wishes, phone calls, IM's, notes, poems and drawings.

Thank you all for your great show of love. *Hugs you all* So what am I going to do with my day? Well work for the most part of it.But after the job is done, I and a friend (non furry), will get together and have a nice pizza party for me, do some chatting and watch some monster movies. Shame my calf day had to be during the week or I might do more. Hehehee..I can always hold off till the weekend.

So I am sure a few more things will happen as the day mores along and I will be happy to let you all in on anything new.

Thanks again, one ad all.

Also, don't get the high numbers scare you off. The request she will do is unlimited so she will get to you someday.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2096948/

Just remember to do what she ask and you are good to go.

Hello all of my dear watchers,

Let me start off saying that I had a nice time looking at Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D with my pal  blueeyedwolf We had a very nice time and for the most part the 3D makes the movie seem more real, but that is about all it did for it. I was surprised by the many guest voice-overs they got to play parts in the move. Very nice.

Saturday, I went to the PS furmeet with  pawfan and Onim (hope I got the name right? Was great seeing so many furs and furs in suits. Even got a nice box of candy from my fur son  krew, but he took off before I got the change to try and thank him. *Wink*

Well, I am sure a few of you have seem a down play with my old mate and a slow up play of my new one. I am still good friends with my old mate and still hope many of the things we wanted to do together we still will, but as good friends. Friends that have some benefits on the side. Mmmm....

But with the passing of that love over the past few months, another has taken its place of late for me. That would be my fur son  bob_buffalo So happy Vilentine's Day to you my sweet fur son and mate. Looking forward to the day we can be together in person.

And to the rest of you out there all my friends, watchers, sons, grandsons, nephews, pets and slaves, have a great Monday!

Hello Everyone,

First off I want to thank my wonderful fur son  bob_buffalo for the wonderful new avatar base on his drawing of the two of us together.

Next it seems there is only one month to my next calf day coming up March 8th. It is hard to believe I will be 54 years old then. Inching my way to 100. Yeah! So those of you that kind can't say I didn't tell you my calf day was coming up and you miss it. I am not going to say another word about it till March 8th so there you have it.

Everyone that watch me thank you for the watches and for the many furs out there that enjoy a good chat with the minotaur, I thank you as well.

Meanbeard

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

Now that the winter solstice is here, I can make ready to keep the evils that come around during this the longest night of the year, and send up prayers for the sun to grow strong and live once more. At the same time I am proud to say I have been a member of FA now as of today five years. My how the time does fly when you are making friends and enjoy great art. Last while there is still time, go and wish my fellow minotaur  toro a very happy birthday.

Now as the rain falls this way, I am out of here to take care of the night.

Meanbeard

I was tag by my minotaur bro  zevti_bull So here we go.

Appearances are very important to furs in terms of identification. We choose a form that represents us and for the most part can be seen as a direct allegory for what we are on the inside. But once we become our true selves we still go about our days eating, sleeping, and having fun. But where? Where does your fursona live? Whats your house, apartment, lair, den, crib, cage, domicile, or parallel pocket dimension like? Is it a patch of hay, or the loft over the hot dance club?

So...

-Where do you live?
-In what do you live?
-If someone were to come in and visit what would they see or experience?

Meanbeard is a mystic minotaur that loves living to extremes. Being many things to many beings. So to some he appears to be a wander that appears in and out of their lives, seemingly with no home to call his own,but enrich the lives he come into. Others he seem to have a modest home out in the woods or on the edge of a city or town. Here he keeps his more closer friends near by, so they can enjoy his company with few to get upset by the loud grunts and growls that come from his home. Few see it from the outside, as they are just find themselves with him and don't seem to mind just appearing before him and then returning to their lives as if nothing had happen to them, till the next time he or they want to be with him again.

But few have had the honor of being brought to his real home. A place that is in a small out of the way pocket dimension, in its endless glens of near perfect weather, one can find every creature of myth living in peace with each other and away from the worlds that no longer have room for them anymore. And somewhere in the tall mountain range one can see his massive castle on the same scale as the gods of old he use to service. Gardens of great beauty surround his castle. Fountains of many sizes and sizes can be found though out the gardens and glens. A few nice pools and rivers are to be found as well. In his castle itself, many of its grand halls reflect the many cultures he has had the pleasure to know during his many roaming around the world over his said 3,000 years on the earth. What is great and grand of each culture and time can be found in many of his halls. He does have a grant pool for his own use, a private library and museum where he house his massive collection of books, strolls, ancient artifices (both tame and magical), objects of power, and alien tools. That his what he likes to call his Meal Hall, is where his food is fix for him by his many slaves (all willing), who wait on him hand and hoof. His bathing room is like that of an Olympic pool room. With a pool for him to be bath in, a steam room and a massage room. Next to it is his Play Room were every fetish can be enjoyed by him or his very special guests. All many other rooms can be found, some for his slaves, some guest rooms, his spell casting rooms and a host of others to many to go into.

Now if you want to take on this Home Meme by all means do so.

Hello everyone,

Seeing so many others doing this I wanted to get in on it as well. So here is a far that is going 50 free stories and all the details can can be found at his journal link here.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1687432/

Hello my friends. As I am trying to write this we are having a another Earthquake. Not a strong one, but again one that lasted a lot longer than I am use to dealing with. They are saying its a 5.7. Again, not a very strong one, but it does get your attention. So, I didn't miss this one like I did the last one when I was on the bus and miss it all together.

But I am already and this was just to let you all know when you hear about it, that everything is going well.

*Hug and licks*

Meanbeard

Hello everyone,

Yes, the big minotaur of the west coast is will be leaving tonight to go to AC. Will be there by Thursday in the early part of the afternoon. Will be back on the around the 30th. Give or take.

Now while I am gone I hope you all will take the time to wish a few friends a happy birthday for me while I am gone.

 zakrhyno on the 26th.

:iconramsey 276:  braford0005 and  memox All of them on the 27th.

Tell them all Meanbeard wanted to you to wish them all a happy birthday.

Take care all.

That the big minotaur got the white fur gorilla to say... "Meanbeard will you be my mate this day?"

And the big bull agree and has been happy to this very day.

Happy First Anniversary as the love of my life  altwaal

Hello everybody,

As the title said, I am going to Califur # 6 and will be wearing my "Bear Furries Are Forever" Blue T-shirt. Hope to see some of you there. For the rest, I will be back fully on Monday.

Take care all.
Hugs and licks,

Meanbeard

Happy Easter everyone.

Seems we just have one of our earthquake here in Los Angeles. Well, it was more in Mexicali in Baja California. What a nice way to end my spring break feeling a 6.9 shake from there. It was like being on a boat in the middle of the sea. Just this rocking back and forth, but not so bad that I got out of my chair or anything. But you can bet they have been hit hard in and around Mexicali. So your west coast minotaur is alright for now and not looking forward to going back to work on Monday, but that is how things go. *Hug and licks*
