Tomorrow is the last day December 30, 2009
Hey Beard Fans!
Tomorrow is the last day of Year of the Beard. What a year it’s been. I know I have fallen off the blogging wagon recently so you may have been wondering how the beard growing is going. Rest assured, I still have the beard and all is well. Until Friday. Then this monstrosity is leaving my face. For good.
I’ve gotten a lot of questions recently so I’m going to try to answer a few here.
How much money did the last fundraiser make? We made $1,807! That’s absolutely absurd! I guess the chance to win a 40″ TV is all you really need to bring in some mad cash.
What are your plans to shave? Is there a party? No. I’m going to be shaving alone. It’s going to be a private, quiet, personal event. However I will video tape it and put it up on YouTube!
What’s going to happen to YearOfTheBeard.com? Well we still have the domain name registered for another year, so if I see anything beard related, I’ll throw it up here. I’m not going to update regularly (not like I was doing that recently anyways), but at the beginning of the year I will post a video or two (one of me shaving, and another montage). So keep an eye out for those. I also am going to go back to my old video game blog. I sort of have that up and running now, but I’m going to get it more finalized, then I’ll post a link on here, if you wish to follow my writing career.
Will you ever grow a beard again? Yes. I will start 2010 clean shaven, but honestly I think my best “look” is when I have a two week beard going. So I’ll probably be clean shaven for a bit, just to stay as far away from the beard look as possible. But I think pretty soon the task of shaving every day will annoy me, so I’ll rest on a comfortable stubble. But who knows.
What are the plans for 2010? Any other challenges/charities? I have already signed up for one challenge in 2010, the Mile Challenge. The goal is to run 365 miles in 365 days. You don’t have to run a mile every day, it just has to average out. It’s not for charity, but it should help my health, which is good. I don’t have any fundraising planned yet, but I do plan on doing some volunteer work, most likely with kids.
Those are all the questions I can think of off the top of my head. If you have any others, feel free to email me. If you pledged money at the beginning of the year, I’m going to be emailing you tonight with my address. Please try to get your donation to me as soon as possible.
Thanks for the great year everyone!
