I love the sound of a typewriter typing. I love increasing my vocabulary. I also love note cards. Imagine the love discovered by combining these three disciplines.
Mr. Clark was emphatically instructed to insure the removal of all personal property upon vacating the premises at Lincoln Pl during his hopeful yet doomed relocation from Brooklyn to Orem. With all this required - he did a bang up job. However, some personal items remained upon my habitation of his old apartment. Among them: two pool cues, various church manuals, assortment of pens, pencils, & other miscellaneous art supplies and one 12x9x6 box from St. Louis Business Forms, Inc. of Fenton, Missouri originally purchased by Climate Source, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah filled with 4000 white continuous 6x3 index cards for computer printout.
The pool cues have been kept on the premises for protection from potential intruders. The church manuals have be turned over to those that can best utilize them. The pens, pencils, and other miscellaneous art supplies have been enlisted in various fashion up-start ventures. Finally, the continuous cards for computer printout (A.K.A 6x3 white index card) have been employed to more efficiently "learn me some new words".
Below is my homage to Jack Kerouac's 120ft teletype paper that he wrote On The Road with. 
Would you like a tour?
First we start out with:
Later on we run into the unpleasant topic of:
Deeper in the roll we come across a real shrill: 
*editor's note: cacophony is a lovely sounding word despite the fact that it is use to express something sounding unlovely.
Moving along we happen upon:
I hope you took time to notice the beauty of the type in the above picture. The uneven inking of each letter. The unique texture of each word. The type feels imbued with sincerity. It's nonuniform uniformity gives it a greater sense of legitimacy. For example - if you got two identical letters in the mail, one was typed and one was printed, which would you be drawn too read first?
Finally we finish with:
Isn't typing and vocabulary mixed with continuous cards for computer printout fun?

Listen People!
2012 is an awesome movie.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry... or to use another cliché.
Seriously

The decision to be dedicated to growing out my beard was a decision to be Abraham Lincoln. I consulted with my beard mentor Brigham on how long it would take. I stopped shaving and started growing on October 5th 2009. That gave me 5 weeks of solid growth.
For the actual costume I had my Karl Lagerfeld H&M double breasted long coat, a black vest Collin gave me from a production that he worked on, my black wool crêpe pants, and my black boots. I went to the trim store and bought black ribbon - two yards just incase I messed up - which I did. I tied the bow tie on and then I cut it to the historically accurate shape that President Lincoln wore. The hat came from my A. Lincoln birthday party I hosted back in February.
(Side story... I wanted to get a real hat. There was a beautiful one on ebay that I wanted to win. I determined to get it no matter the cost. I figured no matter what I paid for it there would be a market and could resale it for what I paid for it. I watched the auction for five days then put in my bid for $200 and went out for the night. When I got home I had been out bid! It went for $255! Everything worked out in the end though. While waiting in line for the parade to begin it started to raining hard. The top hat was fur and would have been destroyed and lost it's resale value.)
In preparation for my once-in-a-lifetime roll as A. Lincoln I memorized the Gettysburg Address. While at party later that night Hillary yelled out say the Gettysburg Address. I grabbed my jacket lapels and laid out the Address like it was nobody's business. I made two errors... but guess what? - nobody was the wiser. People had looks of surprise and delight on their faces at my recitation. When I finished Collin started a chat of "FOUR MORE YEARS". It caught on through the party. It was a worthy reply for my hard work.
My friend Brittany Watson wrote a most delightful blog post about A. Lincoln's beard. I suggest that you read it.
Oh... there were a few other Abe Lincolns around town that night but they were pretty amateur. First of all, they had prosthetic beards. Secondly - I know for a fact none of them had even thought of taking the time to discipline themselves in the quest to memorize The Gettysburg Address. Nonetheless I salute them for their endeavors and encourage them to keep working on their Lincoln methodology.

Oh Berlin Wall - I remember the times I was told about you when I was but a child. I remember the time in sixth grade when the teacher wheeled a TV into the classroom for us to watch you come down. It's been twenty years ago today. Oh what fun we had.

The Royal Tenenbaums was filmed in the house pictured above. It is located in Harlem, but until Saturday I had never been there. I have been growing my beard out for 5 weeks in preparation for my Halloween costume when it dawned on me that I could also be Richie Tenenbaum my favorite character from The Royal Tenenbaums.
Then I realized that I could go to the house that the movie was filmed and take pictures out front.
I have never seen my dad or brothers (nor my sister or mom) grow out a beard. With Brigham coaching me as my beard mentor I discovered that I could indeed grow a beard.

For those of you that have not seen The Royal Tenebaums here is a good scene with Richie.

UPDATE.... NY Times article
What could be the reason for this Mighty line?
What Mighty thing was behind all the clamoring around this record shop window to get a peek from umbrella holding girls and burly Harely riders. Not to mention, justify pics from a Mighty cute NY Times photographer?
Why it's Mighty Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher)!
And Mighty Vince Noir (Noel Fielding)!
And the Mighty Howard Moon (Julian Barrett)! Also known as The Mighty Boosh. My most favorite TV/comedy troop of all time (they're British).
Here is a Mighty Mighty Boosh fan with his Mighty spoil. What's that you ask? Why Yes, it is a Watch Tower. This Mighty Mighty Boosh fan is a Mighty monkey genius, he knows just what the perfect item is to have signed!
Watch Tower close up. This will surely put the JWs on the map!What's that you say?... you don't know or have never even heard of the Mighty Boosh? Well that is Mighty wrong my friend. Let us rectify that situation post haste! Watch these two Mighty clips and everything will be okay in a Mighty way.
