Movember!

Mission #5 is underway! Today is the last day for the next 30 days that I will shave my mustache, for the sake of men's health issues everywhere and the Movember movement.

The chin and neck will have to go, but the mustache...it must stay. My goal is the Clark Gable: 

Swoon ladies...Swoon.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!

If you get a chance, please donate to http://au.movember.com/mospace/792310/

Women have Breast Cancer Awareness and promote vague Facebook status updates, while us men will grow mustaches to support issues like Prostate Cancer Awareness.

Hip hop hooray!

It was Halloween this past weekend, and let me say that Halloween in Australia is definitely not as big as it is back in the US. Halloween is a waaaay bigger deal in the US, and not so much everywhere else. I think a lot of other people don't see the point, but they're slowly coming around...because what's not to like about dressing up and having a good time with your friends? Because of this, I felt like I had to represent for America and I think I did a pretty good job.

It was kind of surreal, walking down the street and getting honked at, people pointing at laughing, getting your picture taken randomly by bystanders, and people coming up to you and asking to take a picture with you. I guess this is a glimpse into the life of an E-list celebrity who's known as that person that does this/did that, like say, William Hung. No real conversations, people just want to take a picture of you for their own amusement.

It was a good time though, being totally ridiculous in a new country on the streets of Sydney, in a tapas restaurant, and in the club. Good times held by all...and because of Halloween here I found an amazing chocolate candy bar called Cherry Ripe.

On another note I think I need to start keeping my ego in check. Life has been really good to me the past few months and I need to stay humble because it's a slippery slope once your ego gets out of control. On top of moving to a new country and seemingly making it and my costume being quite a hit, I posted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on reddit.com (the best site EVAR) and it was #1 in the AMA subreddit and hit over 1200 comments.

It seems like what I accomplished is a dream for many others, and an opportunity for Australians on reddit to circlejerk on how great their country is.

I don't know what to say...ever since I moved here life has been nothing short of AWESOME. I sound like an infomercial and a broken record, but I'll be damned if this wasn't the best decision of my life.

I'm going to have to replace my mission of finding American Bacon and learn how to raise pigs and cut American Bacon, then become a millionaire here.
