November is Movember. For more information, click here.
So there is an actual person in my ward here at BYU that has cancer. I don't know what kind, I really don't think it's testicular, but he has cancer! He came to church one day without any hair, and when I asked him when he joined the ROTC, he told me the real story of chemo-therapy. Is that how you spell chemo? Keemo? Hmph... I didn't pry too much, knowing it could be a sensitive subject.
In light of all this, I am growing a mustache this November for testicular cancer awareness... or rather, just for awareness. I find it a truly noble cause, because I am down-right hideous with this growth on my upper lip. I'm pretty sure they turned me away from the plasma clinic yesterday for just being ugly (They claimed I had too few proteins in my blood after I had just eaten two home-made cheeseburgers... ya right!). So, expect Ignacio Libre to turn up for Thanksgiving in a few weeks, definitely not Todd.
Who will be a mo-bro with me!?
In other news, one of my desperate attempts for income was signing up for online survey taking. Now when people ask me what I do for my job, I tell them that I am a marking research assistant, and it's not that far-fetched if you think about it. I could be just getting scammed through all this, but you never know until you give it a try. Right? Why did they ask me my pants size?
In other other news, I got two sets of ladies' digits in one day, and did so much country dancing I almost died! Man, with all this social activity, you think I'd get a date someday or something.
Finally, I went to mentor's day today for print journalism, and received inspiration for how I may yet get my foot in the bolted door know as the Daily Universe. It all starts with Movember.
Here's a rare funny video from a recent SNL that has only one swear word in it.

Sweet. Started my Mo-stache on the first. Will post pictures of status as month goes on on Facebook. You sign up? I couldn't talk Pete, Dad, or Jonno in joining me. Only Jake seemed interested. He was going to ask you. You have to get donations as well. GL
