Ok, so I feel like I'm writing about Christmas during July. But I can't help it. The other day I was surfing the web and I came across this picture of a sweet mustache [oxymoron??]. Let's just say that the picture was inspiring, very inspiring. As I looked at the picture I began contemplating weather or not I had enough time to pull off such a feat, after all Cinco De Mustache is only three months away.
To be honest with you, seeing how I have never had this kind of stache before, I have no idea how long it will take to grow out. But I thought to myself "this grand event only comes around once a year, why not go all out this year". And so now I declare to you all that I will be growing for Cinco De Mustache, in my humble opinion, the mustache of mustaches: a Rollie Fingers. Incase you are new to the mustache world and have never heard of this type of stache before, let me introduce you to it:

I know what you are thinking: "You're going to wear that thing for three months". But that's the beauty of Cinco De Mustache, it's a one day event! Just grow out a beard or gotee for a few months and then on the eve of this most sacred day, at 11:59 p.m. shave it all off, except for the stache of course!
Last year I had some friends here in China who helped me celebrate this great holiday, but unfortunately they have all returned to the states. So this means that I will be celebrating alone. If you desire to help out a lonely friend ,then by all means join me this year for Cinco De Mustache.
But maybe you're a little nervous about the stache. I mean, after all, it does have a bad "I've got some candy in the back of my van" [said in a low raspy voice] reputation. But think of all the reputable, upright, honorable people who have donned one of these furry beauties: Ron Jeremy, Salvador Dali and Adolph Hitler to name just a few.
Ok, on second thought maybe that doesn't convey the point I way trying to make. But I do believe that the stache is in right now. Don't believe me, then just look at Orlando Bloom, Borat, Geraldo Rivera and Dr. Phil. Ummm.....Uhhh..., so I guess I'm shooting myself in the foot at this point. What I am really trying to say is this: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE join me for Cinco De Mustache. Seriously though, some pretty cool men have been known to wear the stache: Cary Grant, Grizzly Adams, Clark Gable, Ghandi, Michael Jordan, MLK, William H. Taft and probably the manliest man that was ever called President: Teddy Roosevelt.
I plan on keeping a photolog of my stache [righthand corner of my blog] in hopes that it encourages you to participate this year. If you desire to join me in this festive event, then do so by leaving a comment to that effect. Maybe you can email me some of your pics and I'll post them here in hopes that others will join us in our adventure. Until then I'll leave you with a little motivation...just incase you're still skeptical.

I am so amused it's ridiculous. Your justification for basically a Salvador Dali 'stache is Ron Jeremy. Dude, just do what you want. I may join you, I haven't decided yet. I've been clean-shaven for a while, and I don't know if I need to break the streak. Plus, I have the mustache growing abilities of a 12 year old... sigh. But I will definitely support you in your endeavors.
And remember, no loving from the wife is the price you pay for Cinco de Mustache. Be careful.
