Thomas Stewart is a dragon master.

It's not something he can go into detail about though, said the 24-year-old graduate student at the University of Florida.

"Some people aren't ready for the knowledge, and you've got to respect that," he said.

Stewart, who lived most of his life in Jacksonville, Fla., did reveal his plan to make a career out of attending school, which he said includes taking out loans until he dies. He added that he is working on several ideas for a blog, with topics ranging from pirates to boxes.

"I don't feel there's enough commentary about boxes out there," he said. "You know, I think that's a big void that needs to be filled."

Aside from his contemplation of containers, Stewart stands out from the crowd with his elaborate moustache and beard. The idea to cultivate facial hair came to him one day when he was hiking in the woods.

"I thought, moustaches are what define a man," he said. "I think a man without a moustache is a man without a soul, and I realized I didn't want to live without a soul anymore."
