And this is why Razors are the bane of my existence...
So, I've taken a break from the blog, big surprise. Spending time in a new relationship, and making some decisions about future career paths. And I could sit here and blog about Kate and what fun we're having, or how I'm planning on going back to school for a Teaching Certificate and thinking about moving down to Portland...which is all true. But what I really want to discuss is my mustache...that's right, I'm growing a mustache. Now it's not in homage to Josh, though perhaps his 'Stache is a fuzzy beacon in the distance...nope, it's for charity. That's right, charity. 826Seattle is holding their annual Mustache-a-thon, where willing Mustache Farmers like myself grow facial hair for charity. Feel free to follow along with my progress, both on their site and on here, and if you're inspired by donating money to kids programs in reading and writing, feel free to support one of my favorite organizations in Seattle. I am also open for suggestions on what kind of 'Stache I should grow, because while my hair does grow fast, I only have until November 21st in which to compete.
The night when I first shaved was Yom Kippur, and clean shaven and dressed in a suit, I never felt so corporate. I have to admit I was tempted to go to the nearest Chili's and be a dick to the wait staff... but oh, well, I guess that ship has sailed. Now I have the stubble of a Hollywood Soap Star, trying desperately not to look pre-pubescent. Them razors can change a man...
Well, off to get back to the job market, I'm trying to get a gig at a local supermarket (natural foods, preferably), or anywhere with benefits and discounts on food.

Whoa! I can't remember the last time I saw you clean shaven.
I'm workin' the facial hair myself. About three weeks in and its almost a proper beard.
what sort of kid would want your shaved off facial hair? such a twisted type of charity you're doing, bro.
