The Beginnings of Beautiful Endeavors

Starting Trends and Breaking Arms
After two time extensions, we have a clear-cut winner of this week’s poll. I see it has become evident that my general readership truly wants to see me hurt myself. The top two choices were parkour and unicycling. Merry Christmas, Mike. Here’s a broken ankle Happy New Year, Mike. Enjoy the head trauma. But seriously, … Continue reading
Polling our Lives
Happy Chanukah from Who is Mark Mathleton! Also, Merry Christmas. Hopefully you enjoyed my attempt to learn puppeteering over the course of seven days. It wasn’t perfect. There’s only so much a person can do in seven days. I’ve krumped in three days and built and used puppets in seven. What’s next? I’ve had suggestions … Continue reading
The Amalgamation of Truth into Halves
I’ve been building puppets for one week. I don’t claim to know anything about puppetry other than what I learned through my research upon beginning this task.

Exacting a Cause for Wonder
When I woke up this past Thursday (the 1st of December), I was excited to see a plethora of comments on my Facebook page regarding the skill that would launch my blog. After a moment of deliberation, I decided to leave the choice up to a third party. I didn’t believe I could be impartial … Continue reading
Krumplestiltskin
I’ve begun my research on krumping. After a quick google search, I decided that the best place to start was a 2005 documentary called Rize. It was directed by David LaChapelle (not to be confused with Dave Chappelle). I’m happy I did because it really amped me up to begin krumping. However, after watching Rize I … Continue reading
