For those of you who don't already know, I am participating in the Movember fundraiser. Basically its a fun way to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of those "taboo" topics due to the location of the cancer development. If it wasn't bad enough going to the doctor's every year, the prostate check definitely is added to the list of "cons" during the routine yearly physical. One thing that I did not know what that prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men. It is going to be diagnosed in about 25,500 men this year, not including cases that go undiagnosed due to men's unwillingness to go for annual check-ups.
One of the caveats of this fundraiser is that I have to grow a mustache, this somewhat simple goal is made more difficult by my non-hairy genes.
What really sucks about growing a lame mustache, is that it makes me look extremely sketchy. I am now 2 weeks into this ordeal and so far the most common statement I have heard is "oh are you trying to grow a mustache??". As innocent as that question is, it hurts my everything specially since all I see when I look in the mirror is a hairy upper lip. Two weeks to go, and as much as I am hoping I will not look more sketchy... I know things will not get better on the sketchy-scale.
