About Me


On September 10th, 2006 I shaved my face bare and started growing a beard. I have decided that I will not shave until September 11th, 2011...a five year quest. Every day that passes without me shaving (though I am permitting myself to shape and groom my whiskers) I am putting aside $1. When 9/11/11 rolls around, I will have accumulated $1828 which will be donated to a 9/11 charity. On that date, the 10 year anniversary of the tragedy, time will have passed, but there will still be families in need. $1828 is not a lot, but it is a start... if you'd like to pledge something, please send me a message.

My Mental Exhaust Fan has shorted out...

I was walking down 5th Avenue, $45 worth of potent acid in my blood, and about 10 times as much in my pockets, just in case I needed more. A crowd was gathered, stretching down both sides of the Avenu...

Do you think you can top my drumming prowess?

Well, this weekend was a blur, and I refer not to the UK band of similar moniker! I attended a wedding, which was cleverly planned for early in the day, allowing the rivers of pickeling fluids to star...
