Destiny Awaits us! 48hrs!
T-minus 48 hours.On the brink of something unprecedented. With the generosity of so many friends and family, we've funded 19 classroom projects in under-resourced public schools throughout the US. Over $8,200 of much needed supplies getting to kids in struggling neighborhoods.And also, thanks to so many, I'm #1 fundraiser in San Francisco currently out of 60 mustache growers. But there's a #2 on my tail, only a couple hundred dollars behind me. And up ahead, the possibility of being the #1 grower and growing team in the country.Let's make history people. Help some amazing kids and show them what friends can do when they unite for something good!
mustache exploits
Has it only been three weeks since I embarked on this adventure? Am I truly the same person who set path on this perilous journey so many days ago? Clearly not. My life-- and my upper lip-- have changed considerably.
I feel like a boy gone to a man. A fuller human being. I've grown a manly, respectable mustache for the first time in my adult life, met and come to know many a man from all walks of life that dances the top lip party, and shaved my head bald to get a good portion of what I have been able to raise to date.
And the results have been staggering. Almost $8,000 raised. Fully funded 18 technology projects for public school classrooms-- equipment that the teachers themselves request. Giving kids their first access to computers. Kids whose only disadvantage is where they grew up.
A tremendous thanks to all who have given so generously to get us to this point. And a enthusiastic request for those who have not to check out these projects and chip in for these kids' educational future.
One thousand follicles of thanks,
Ahmad

Thanksgiving dinn @ Tim & Jen's house
the princely mustache made the first official appearance on thanksgiving day.. Jen cooked us a fantastic dinner, tim made a secret family recipe for the gravy while Jon, Sonali and I helped them eat it all...the food was fab! O & my Longhorns kicked A&M's ass..- the stache was happy!
after dinner, the stache was seen roaming around the Clift hotel meeting up w/ Connie, Alex & Yuri + BF ... a couple of donations, and a few pledges were made that night for the kids...

My mustache is born
Despite my better judgement and against the advice of many a female friend, I find myself with one god awful ugly mustache resting on top of my lip.
It the kind of mustache that makes a man just look dirty. Not to be trusted. But strangely alluring. That kind of mustache.
The first one of my life. Sure, I've had goatees and a five day stubble before. And the sideburns have grown long. But never the straight mustache. The facial hair of Magnum P.I., Martin Luther King, Anwar El Sadat and Mussolini.
Do I feel like a new man you ask? Absolutely. A man reborn.
You see, I'm engaged in this manly mustache-a-thon for a remarkable cause. My follicle growth is on a mission to bring critical classroom technology to public school students. On Thanksgiving weekend, we have so much to be thankful for, including the fact that we benefited from computers growing up. Many kids in our own communities have no access to such technology, which as can you imagine severally limits their educational potential.
I ask for your support. Please click to my donor's page to the right and contribute on of the projects I am sponsoring... "takes less than 2mins to do"..
