You can pledge money to a cause without having to pledge to run a fucking marathon.
In fact, you'd probably get a lot more pledges without telling people that they have to run a fucking marathon.
If you don't care to read my "asinine views", then don't post your asinine views for me or anybody else to respond to.
And especially if you're going to throw around the word "asinine" while claiming that growing a pink beard and running marathons actually generates money that couldn't have otherwise been generated without all the pink bearded, marathon running, nonsense.
How much of that generated revenue is actually spent on licensing, police overtime, etc. etc?
How much of that could have actually gone to your cause without all the hoopla?
The pledges don't run. You run and they pay you to do so. You are raising money to give to an organization independently more or less. I have given plenty to family and friends who do these runs as they get the general public thinking about it and in turn donating themselves. I don't run as I've got the knees of a ninety year old from jumping off too many high things as a teen and can't run more than a KILOMETER.
The same with the mustaches in November. I, and I assume most, don't think about prostate cancer regularly if ever (aside from those of you getting the doctors finger of approval yearly), and that makes me think "oh shit, I don't want cancer in my ass" so I'll donate to further understanding, find treatments, and hopefully cure whatever afflictions people want to do fundraising for.
And the vast majority of the people involved in these kinds of benefits are doing so for free or as volunteers on their days off (talking about police and paramedics etc at marathons) because they are not so down on the world that they need to get payed to do something good.

summers short beard, winters long beard. it's the canadian way.
-
got bored. maintain and grow? so much protected space now
-
that would be a pretty sweet way of revenge. It would also get the group moving out of the prison and onto bigger and better things.
-
my main plan is walking around drinking with the guys and hopefully seeing weird shit in doing so.
Timothy Hoyer painting in the mail right now! stoked on this!
-
I have never been either. snowmaking convention was originally the reason to go, no it's just a weekend of getting too drunk and throwing away money... may as well give it a go!
-
brick wall in our apartment for now the two extra pieces will have to wait for our house though. wall real estate in my tiny apartment is quickly dwindling
I've also thought about how I'd do it different but Jen digs his work so I'll just buy his work.
-
It was 350 plus shipping. dude gave me a deal because it was a bigger piece that he wants to use for his portfolio or whatever and it was for a wedding so he said it was even cheaper. mines about 6 feet long and three and a half feet high so it's significantly bigger than most stuff he does.

I think he's got prices for all the stuff available.

^ main reason i showed that. haha. waiting to see who'd do it
-
inside right panel. still all the construction white threading on the suit so it still look completely unfinished. just need to hem the pants and finish the vest and I'm stylin'.

I was told to go there. they have a mini-gun apparently, so I'l pay for that experience for sure.
I'm up for anything really. the groomsmen that are coming along are on a tighter budget than me, but I think I'll be able to convince them if the entertainment is worth it.
One of them wants to see the dirtiest cheapest strippers, which I'm not that into, but will gladly take the walk and check out whatever sketchy region it'll undoubtedly be in. something along the lines of a "show" involving foreign objects would probably suffice for him. not that he's into that (I assume) but more so to see something fucked up while in vegas.
I'd be pretty keen on gambling, but don't know most casino card games well enough to attempt so whatever casino has the most ridiculous shit to waste money at.
and good scotch, is it true that you can roll with open liquor wherever on the street? if so duty free will keep me plenty lubricated on the cheap.

ALSO I'm headed to vegas from thursday to sunday. what should I see while I'm there?

Holy hell I had no idea how much shit people give you when you get married.
Plush as fuck new towels, bedding, knives so sharp they might create an atomic blast when I slice through atoms.
There is the major costs though, still have a bit of savings leftover but it'll be a while before we've got enough for a down payment on a house again.
Got almost all my shit together.
Been cleaning these rusty ass bottles for centerpieces.
Jen's wedding gift to me. Kwest sculpture, soon to be added on a shelf also made by him which I can't wait for.
Getting a custom tailored suit because I own three different articles of clothing: t shirts, dickies, hoodies, all of which are apparently not good enough for my wedding so I decided to spend all my fancy clothes budget on one suit. I have dubbed it my life suit, as I will wear it to every occasion I have previously been underdressed for. Got my third fitting tomorrow so I'll post a pic
The tailor wanted a picture or pattern for the insignia or whatever it's called so while at school with nothing but soapstone and a welding table I sent Jen this:
and she sent the tailor this:
Thank fuck she offered to actually draw it because in hind sight a custom suit with my drawing would just not sit right.
Got a giant navajo inspired wood work piece from this dude MSGHandmade. he's got that instagram shit so check it out if you're into it.
hanging it in the barn behind the head table which Jen doesn't know about yet.
To try and match her wedding gift to me I got a hold of her favourite painter, Timothy Hoyer, and a couple teacup machines from mike pike.
I'll post pictures of the shit that happens in the lead up and the wedding if you fucks care to see.
If you want to help us pay for the wedding get tattooed by Jen, she's in chicago right now, and will be in brooklyn before the years up and austin at the start of december. (and I doubt any of you live in iceland but there for a short stint as well)

is it captcha? that shit is used to digitize mass volumes of scanned text into digital books. TED Talks are awesome time fillers and subway entertainment.
-
Agreed. although I still look forward to watching this every week when it's on. and am excited to see the next season as well. They just introduced tens of randoms who can get fucked up by zombies or fuck up zombies. larger numbers equate to bigger zombie shenanigans. ten zombies in the yard is no big deal with the numbers they've got now, so more extreme shit has got to happen.
Or they start farming and fortifying and live happily for an entire season of drama between the group....

bordering on nonsense.

I'll start writing some stories from the mountain and the idiots I worked with again. perhaps that has a major role in my introversion. working 12 hour night shifts on a secluded mountain with five people for five months of the year. it was hard to tell wether I like the job because there is nobody around, or if I like being alone because of my job.
-
Congrats and all that. Just man up and quit being a goob about talking to other people.
true enough! although it doesn't work when I've tried. I mean I can talk to people when they are legitimately interesting, but spare that it's a lot of me not giving a fuck and obviously being disinterested which turns people off. Again, I don't care, but I'd like to not be a hinderance to her and her connections made in the tattoo community.
-
I just like to watch/listen without being the loudest and most opinionated person. Some people would perceive this as being introverted, I do not. I do value my time to myself very much and when I am alone but out in public I tend to introvert slightly. People and groups of people tend to annoy me as I get older tho.
Fuck bitches get money. Congrats on the vow's there bud, you still up the mountain?
Back to Toronto for the summer and possibly for good considering the marriage. Went back to the mountain solely for the party celebrating the retard I worked with for five years getting fired. Three days in Vancouver and five bottles of scotch and I'm fairly certain everyone knows exactly what I think of them there now.

congrats man. surely you've tried this but maybe not. alcohol? im not saying get wasted (unless you wanna) but maybe having a drink or two will loosen you up and allow you to give less fucks about how terrible people are and shoot the shit with 'em. this works for me but i'm trying to work on being able to talk to heads i dont know/identify with, without the help of booze.
When I have a couple drinks everyone I talk to knows exactly how uninterested I am in what they have to say. No poker face with a few drinks.
btw.might wanna peep this book
Got it the thee week when looking through the book thread. Decent.
congrats....but you're not an introvert you're just a prick yeah?!I am a bit of a prick. But I blame that on the person, who perceives me as being a prick, is actually obviously pretending to give a shit about things they don't.
i write on things because i can't function in society..fact.
waaaaaaaaaaa , waaaaaaa .....i'm different ....waaaaaaaaaaa
thats fucking lame.
fact.
I don't want it to be misconstrued that I am crying or bitching about being antisocial. As I said I have five friends that I'd be glad to not add to for the rest of my life, but for my girls benefit I'm trying to be more talkative and personable. However that's hard when you've spent your life not lying to people about what you think of them. Or maybe I am bitching. Who cares. Fuck you.
-
That's the first thing my girl and I did alone together was go walk at night and write on things.
I've had the same five friends for the last 9 years and am happy with that but feel bad when I go to places and need to pretend to be interested in strangers. I mean the majority of people I've met through her are really interesting and have plenty of stories, but I just find a lot of people put on acts to impress, aside from a few there's been a heap of bullshit.

I was on the subway today and my eye started doing that twitch that crazy people get because there was a shit load of kids and teens getting on after school. just got off and walked. how do people not know what personal space is. crowds are the most annoying thing to encounter.
Who are you people?
