Itchy Lips http://itchylips.posterous.com Movember: Our mustaches raise money for cancer research. You can help! posterous.com Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:46:08 -0800 I've got Sabotage under my skin. #Movember donation request. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ItchyLips/~3/TPWIspNWicQ/ive-got-sabotage-under-my-skin-movember-donat http://itchylips.posterous.com/ive-got-sabotage-under-my-skin-movember-donat <p> I am woefully delinquent on posting my Movember donation/requests. <p /> This tune, Sabotage, was a challenge because the style is so unique, trying to do it straight would just come up short. <p /> So I tried this version where I sing it to the tune of Sinatra's "I've Got You Under My Skin". It's still not where I'd like it to be, but the year is almost over and my wife is getting sick of my 'stache. Not to mention, I need a haircut. <p /> So, Colin and Louise, thanks a ton for your donation. And Happy (belated) Anniversary. I hope you enjoyed it. <p /> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vS3IAAYsu50" allowfullscreen frameborder="0" height="417" width="500"></iframe><p /> <br />===== <p /> Chris Fowler <br />561-chrisF1 chrisF(at)hzdg.com <br /> Hirshorn Zuckerman Design Group, Inc.

To be honest, I will have conflicting thoughts when I remove my 'stache in the coming days. <p /> I say "coming days" because I won't be removing my 'stache until I record/post a few Movember song requests. I'm regrettably late getting one video up and I got a few donations today from coworkers who've yet to decide what songs they'd like. And I'll be conflicted because for the past month, I've had a built-in excuse for looking as goofy as I normally do. <p /> A big thanks and congratulations to Michael, who captained our team and personally raised over $1,000 this month. That's a job well done, sir. I'm really looking forward to next year's campaign when I will fundraise and grow my 'mo with more wisdom and vigor. <p /> Here's a couple parting shots for your viewing enjoyment. <p /> ===== <p /> Chris Fowler <br />561-chrisF1 chrisF(at)hzdg.com <br /> Hirshorn Zuckerman Design Group, Inc.

Freddie Mercury is one of the best rock singers of all time. <br />2. I'm not. And I botched the lyrics. <br />3. The band had never played this song prior to this recording.</p> <p>All those things noted, here's a short-form attempt at Fat Bottom Girls. I'm not sure this satisfies my own requirement to record the whole song, but I wanted to get it up here b/c Sabotage (for Colin and Louise) has to get done before this Sunday.

Apparently the itch does not come with the beginning stages, but with the pesky under layer that lags behind the rest and does not begin to grow in for about 2 weeks. WOW, what a difference a pesky under layer makes. It couldn&#8217;t even do itself justice by contributing any color.

As the Mo-stache gains mo-mentum, my donations lag. However, at the same time I am all too aware of the need of such efforts for the sake of those dealing with the ramifications of various cancers and other health problems.<p /> Four or so weeks ago a good friend was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy caused by Amyloidosis (rare plasma disorder). A few days after this diagnosis her college age daughter (oldest of four) was struck by a motorcycle at school. 27 days later that daughter is still receiving surgeries for a range of internal injuries as well as additional corrective surgeries for broken bones. About a week after the accident the mother was diagnosed even further with Multiple Myelonma. <p /> Three weeks ago a colleague at the office lost her husband to brain cancer. He was just diagnosed in the spring. He was the first of two other husbands affiliated with the office, and diagnosed with brain cancer, to pass away. All three of those diagnosed are Vietnam veterans who served around the same time. <p /> Last week while explaining my Mo-Stache to a few folks at the office one colleague demanded more information and the links to donate. I found out later that a close relative had just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer that morning.<p /> Point being, the effort to help can seem overwhelming and perhaps insignificant given the enormity of the issue. But I think it is important to remember that every bit counts. For families in these situations, to just know that people care and are paying attention goes a long way.<div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/edOOlU1olaM1HT64bPOE6T2zPZx2sftX4xFBwmhmjsr70Bsno0AZIBeqf0ag/image.jpg"><img alt="Image" height="375" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/NuqsOh2ZthnbNHgmjd8bNlVbTUxUOMYoEvhY3LIart3Px6aMF8nA846RXFeX/image.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> </span> </p> <p><a href="http://itchylips.posterous.com/funds-lagging-but-humility-abounds">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://itchylips.posterous.com/funds-lagging-but-humility-abounds#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ItchyLips/~4/Sn2iWLrTSSs" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/431160/TwitterImage-sm.jpg http://posterous.com/users/5eHyrcSP0UGB Colin Storm colinstorm Colin Storm http://itchylips.posterous.com/funds-lagging-but-humility-abounds Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:31:00 -0800 #Movember - I need $50 to make me holler. @chrisF to sing for support. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ItchyLips/~3/sFRrZcC3EmI/movember-i-need-50-to-make-me-holler-chrisf-t http://itchylips.posterous.com/movember-i-need-50-to-make-me-holler-chrisf-t <p> <p>We're now half-way through Movember.

But there's a catch; the song must have been recorded by someone who wears (or once wore) a moustache. <p /> So, when you make your <a href="http://us.movember.com/mospace/223705" target="_blank">$50 donation</a>, either post a link to the song you'd like for me to record as a comment to this post OR as a comment to your donation. I will then, in a matter of a day or so, upload a dedicated video on this blog to honor your commitment to combat men's cancer. <p /> There are a ton of artists to choose from, so surprise me.

Welcoming feedback on the handle bar approach, too comfortable?<p /> Also working to get those first donations in. My 1 year old is the person I see most often, and while she is probably more wealthy than I, I haven&#8217;t taught her how to use a credit card yet, maybe next year.<p /> Thinking about getting some of those cheapo home-made business cards to give to folks I run into a the grocery store. Getting looks, but tough to get folks to write down a website to research and go donate.<p /> Louise is already looking forward to having my goatee flip back over on Dec. 1. <p /> <br /> </span> <p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/ZiqWEoAMq5YIVdBTW44GTNqO8gwqxcKLfrc6huGJyEYGk0EhTpTiXadfe547/image.jpg"><img alt="Image" height="375" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/2HQssWdRUQjW6aeFTAFbQDlS6ChkaMriModsYnPsRXHSu6bFuN0rlsW5GnCN/image.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/Ex16NQ7YAsdKc35sCdomgq2BdQf1knqzR1T7vhHaUEVJtRYmJlbCSqtbYdjN/0image.jpg"><img alt="0image" height="375" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/itchylips/jvYPnwAzB6GMDlb5Nr5wn8M7AlUQKsEPBFvuUYbF4bUvKljG61Wi5dxHkurI/0image.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> <div class='p_see_full_gallery'><a href="http://itchylips.posterous.com/turn-that-goatee-upside-down">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> </p> </p> <p><a href="http://itchylips.posterous.com/turn-that-goatee-upside-down">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://itchylips.posterous.com/turn-that-goatee-upside-down#comment">Leave a comment&nbsp;&nbsp;&raquo;</a> </p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ItchyLips/~4/nLpDYuFxNNw" height="1" width="1"/> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/431160/TwitterImage-sm.jpg http://posterous.com/users/5eHyrcSP0UGB Colin Storm colinstorm Colin Storm http://itchylips.posterous.com/turn-that-goatee-upside-down
