Mustache Month '08: Because It Takes Balls to Grow a Sweet Mustache: Be Proud of Who You Are and What You Can Grow

Grow them long, wear them proud, and for God's sake keep them waxed!

Well its September again and that can only mean one thing - its time to spend a month celebrating your manliness with a bunch of friends, a few strangers, lots of cops, Wilford Brimley and the rest of the mustache loving world.

Everybody is welcome to participate in Mustache Month and even to post comments. Both can be done without getting permission from me. If you want to post an article or be listed on the side under "Proud Participants & Fans" you'll need for me to add you.

WARNING: While growing a mustache will provide you with instant machismo and camaraderie with the 46 other guys with mustaches, its not without risks. The sudden apprearance of a mustache has been know to cause intense jealousy amongst "significant others" as they struggle to deal with the increased attention you'll receive as you strut proudly about with an impecably groomed upper lip accessory.

Be Proud of Who You Are and What You Can Grow

One thing I've learned from this experience is the true value of being able to grow something you can honestly call your own. Growing a mustache is not just about trying to "Be Cool" and fit in with the rest of the Rusted out Camaro Driving crowd. It is something of a personal journey, where man and mustache form a special bond. It is this bond that forms who we are, as mustache wearing men, and in some respects, is what forms how other "view" us.

Let us not dwell on the negative view that others have on mustaches, as we have come to realize that our creations are part of us. And when someone "disses" your stache, just ask yourself, "Is this person even worthy of experiencing the mere sight of my creation?"
