Jordie's Movember Update: Week 2
A couple weeks I wrote a blog titled “How To Handle Movember If You’re A Little Bitch Like Myself And Can’t Grow Facial Hair”. Since then, I’ve done my research and have found that 1 in every 8 men nationwide suffer from male pattern facial-baldness. So where you are right now, just stop and look around. At least one of the guys around you physically can’t grow a good beard. Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s Steve in accounting. Regardless, it’s a real issue. But I wasn’t going to let a little face-baldness stop me from raising awareness for causes such as Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer and mental health issues affecting men. Which is why I’m powering through this Movember despite the man obstacles in my way. So after 2 full weeks down, here’s what I’m working with so far.
As you can see, we’re already starting to fill in way more than week 1. I still can’t fill in that gap but like I mentioned last week, it’s just because my facial hair hates Hitler so much. Sorry for being progressive like that, I guess. As far as mustaches go, however, this is the best one I’ve ever grown. Don’t want to toot my own horn too much but it almost looks like I’m a man. Not a man who you’d want to leave your kids around. But a man who you’d maybe consider selling alcohol to without asking for an ID. The soul patch adds both age and wisdom to my face. Not bad at all for a kid who just hit puberty.
Now next week is going to be the real test. Thanksgiving week. I have a strong suspicion that both my mother and grandmother will disown me if I show up to Thanksgiving dinner with this thing above my lip. But sometimes that’s just the price you have to pay. It’s not my fault that Thanksgiving falls right toward the end of Movember. That’s poor planning on the Pilgrims’ part.
Wawa Order Of The Week:
Sometimes when you make a Wawa run, you’re looking to just get in there and get out. Sometimes you don’t have time to order a sandwich at the kiosk and wait around for them to make it. Which is why the wraps are always one of the more convenient choices you can go with. Personally I think the Peppered Turkey & Bacon is #1 on the Wawa Wrap Power Rankings. But you could really make a case for any of them. I also went with a side of Cheddar Jalapeno Bites because… well… to be honest I think it was a jalapeno cheddar stuffed pretzel but they fooled me with the packaging. You live and you learn.

As is customary with any item off the Wawa menu, it is thrown together very sloppily. Presentation means nothing, however, compared to taste. Now truthfully–there were a few bites towards the end that were strictly lettuce. Obviously that is NOT okay. But for the most part, you got a little bit of everything in each bite. Each ingredient compliments the other so well. I almost felt bad for finishing it because a sandwich that delicious should be preserved and treasured forever.
Sweater Of The Week:
Chris Pronger Hartford Whalers. Have to imagine it’s the only one in the Greater Philadelphia Area. Any time you can walk around with the Whale logo on your body, you know you’re putting out some serious Hockey Guy vibes.
