Why women should NOT withhold sex over Movember

This blog post started off as a "what does it mean" blog post. It has now turned in to something quite serious. Women should NOT be withholding sex, action, kisses, love or any other form of pleasure from men who grow Mo's. Mo Bros are growing their Mo's for a very serious reason: Men's health. We're raising awareness and promoting the health of men. This is a serious topic that has recently been glossed over. Not anymore.Directly from the Movember global website:

Movember (the month formerly known as November), the month long moustache growing charity event held each year to help raise funds and awareness for men’s health is officially in South Africa.Having started in Australia seven years ago, Movember has grown to be an international event, taking place in six countries. This global expansion looks set to continue with demand from Mo Bros and Sistas around the world wanting to grow moustaches and celebrate Movember in their own countries. As a direct result, six new countries have been added to this year’s campaign, of which South Africa is one!Movember is about bringing back the moustache for a serious cause and sees Mo Bros, supported by the Mo Sistas in their life, register at Movember.com and then start Movember 1st with a clean-shaven face. They have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache, whilst raising funds and awareness.

I particularly like the part about Mo Bros getting support from their Mo Sistas. Don't be that woman, don't have double standards. You know that if you (ladies) told us that in the name of Breast Cancer you weren't shaving your legs for a month we'd have zero ground to stand on and would definitely NOT withhold pleasure from you for standing up for something that is important to you.So buck up, back your man and if you don't have a man then pursue a Mo Bro this Movember.This Movember I will be growing what some term an "uber-tash". Basically it's a normal moustache, but it just happens to be sitting upon my face, a Greek face, a face that has experienced shaving since the tender age of 12 years old. Yes, you read that right, I started shaving at 12 years old.But I think that this Movember is going to mean a little bit more to me this year.This is the first year that I'm going to be growing my UT (uber-tash) in Cape Town.Movember will mark the beginning of the third month that I have stopped smoking.I'm going to be trying to run by the sea every week day at least in Movember.Healthy eating is going to be the final stage of the changes happening in Movember.So all in all, things have changed a lot for me this year and it seems like Movember is the month that it all comes together.A massive thank you goes out to the rocking Richard Mulholland who is sponsoring my Movember trip this year. I'll be donating half the money raised to a charity close to Rich called Liefling and the rest of the money to Footprings Play.Rocking times. Business is booming, Cape Town is gorgeous, my health is on the rise, I'm finally running again and life is good.

Get inked - SIX in Cape Town

I am an addict, I have confessed before but do it again now: I am addicted to Tattoos, and I am pretty bleak that I didn't make my way down to Cape Town for the Southern Ink Xposure event.The event looked huge and it's really fantastic for me to see how widely accepted and practiced tattooing has become. I will definitely be making my way to the event next year. Maybe the Missing Link crew will come down for the ride too.

Facebook, Cape Town and the Monopoly Board

I am really not sure why but I freakin' want Cape Town to clean up this whole Monopoly Board thing.If you don't know what I am on about then let me briefly explain why I am writing this post. I was invited to join the Vote for Cape Town on the World Monopoly Board group on Facebook. I did, that was about two weeks or so ago.At that point there were under 100 people in the group and Cape Town was situated in the top gagillion for the Monopoly board. I then blogged the situation on SA Rocks and at the same time the Facebook group took off. Since I joined the group there have been more than 4000 people join and begin voting daily for Cape Town.The effect that this has had really impresses and astounds me. In fact it renews my opinion that Facebook can be a great place to rally and market around a product, point, belief etc etc.Cape Town has gone from nowhere to a peak of #8. We now site at a great #9 and will surely soon be climbing further. With over 4000 people voting daily for our success it is almost ensured at this point. With 25 days of voting left, if you haven't voted yet or haven't been voting all day I think it's best that you get started.In general I am absolutely blown away by the success that the Facebook group has had in such a short span. Let's hope that they can pick Cape Town up in to one of the top three spots. Then we'll be top on the Monopoly Board for a very long time to come.

Googlethu lives

I was in CT this weekend. In all the over-Africanised paraphenalia that I stumbled across there was one gem for a geek in CT... Googlethu. Laugh It Off does it again:
