My Dad Told Me To Update My Blog October 13, 2009
And he’s right. I haven’t updated in a while and Octobeard (as it’s been called) has been a big month. So.
Here.
We.
Go.
Less than three months left! Sooner than later I will not have a beard. That will be interesting. I have a hard time imagining my life without the beard. I wonder what it’ll be like to be able to eat without getting any hair in my food. Or how my face will feel. Or if maybe I can finally get a date. Only time will tell. For those of you who are wondering where I have been recently, I promise, my social life will once again be active come 2010.
October has actually been an awesome month as far as publicity goes. First of all, you may have heard of a little publication called “Cleveland Magazine.” If you haven’t, it’s a magazine about Cleveland. October’s issue is their “best of Cleveland” issue, and guess who got best beard? Okay that’s not true. I didn’t win best beard. I’m not sure if anyone did. Regardless, they did do a little piece on me and my Year of the Beard project. You can pick up a copy at your local news stand now, or you can check out the article here.
Now most people would think, “Oh, I’m in Cleveland Magazine, I guess that’s enough press for one month.” But Year of the Beard knows no shame. So what did I do? I up and got published in the Plain Dealer as well. If you’re unfamiliar, the Plain Dealer happens to be Cleveland’s daily newspaper, and boy is it good. Check out the winning captions from “last week’s contest.” Yep. Number 4. All me. You know I don’t want to say some are better than others, but all I am saying is that I’d be pissed if I sent in “Look, Daddy, it’s an Obama tree” for a few reasons. First off, because I’m not funny. Second, because my name would be stricken and replaced by “multiple entries.” So to all of you who submitted that. Good job. Try to be a little more original next time.
And that’s it.
PSYCH!
My Facebook has been blowing up lately with a pretty awesome video that some people found online. It’s a wonderful song about how awesome beards are. I know none of us here at Year of the Beard need any reminding about how awesome beards are, but just in case you may have forgotten, I’ll leave you with the song.
PEACE!
