Legendary.

So the roommates and I have decided to really work on our Mustache’s. We are about 5 days in. When I say work on I mean begin to grow. And it has been interesting to see the new treatment I get with the mustache. People definitely respond to me differently; some people say I look like I’m 40. One of the roommates says I should be wearing a red hat and overalls; and jumping over goombas to save a princess from a castle. I think he also expects me to be cooking Italian food, and keep saying Bertolli.

Speaking of Bertolli – have you had the frozen Italian meals, they’ve become a meal down here, and they are relatively cheap, especially if you split it with someone.   

But last night was maybe the best, actually its not much of a story at all; but it lets me tell you about a place I go regularly.  There is a neighborhood minimarket/restaurant/sports bar – where you can by the food you forgot at the grocery store, a sandwhich ( which I believe are the best in PR) or watch a sporting event and drink a cerveza (if you so desire). SO the atmosphere is really lacking, but the functionality of the whole place keeps us coming back often.  the name is classic in a of it self –  ”On D WAY”. spelt in english with a “D”. 

So i’m there often, and people begin to be friendly when you use their business regularly. Last night however the usual friendly faces have turned into faces of apprehension and concern. I can tell they don’t know what to think about the mustache, questions race through their mind:  ”is he serious ?”, “did I just hit a time warp (much like the kid in acclaimed classic  ’The Flight of the Navigator’) and everyone gained 20 years on me ?” -

Saturday should be interesting – we are hosting a game of ultimate frisbee on campus – no one here has really heard of it or played before – So since the 4 experienced players will all have mustaches -it could become a PR legend that to be good at Frisbee, you must first grow a mustache.  - I think this is how Uraban legend’s start ….
