On the left, I’m unshowered and unshaven, with my glasses. On the right, showered, shaved and no glasses. How old am I?

It’s been a long time since anyone commented that I look really young, but—prior to being twenty-four—this was a very common occurrence. I always got ID’d at bars. But then I got glasses and slowly those comments faded away. In fact, I’ve had several people think I was significantly older.

I thought the days of having a baby face were behind me, but last week I posted a picture on Instagram after getting out of the shower to show how long my hair is getting. To my surprise, I had at least eight different people (through various channels) comment on how young I look.

Am I having a Clark Kent/Superman moment here? Except instead of turning into a superhero, I turn into a teenager. Do the glasses add 10-15 years? If so, I need to fix my broken, defective eyes, chuck out the glasses and start hanging out around high schools. Sup ladies girls?

Today’s post from In Focus, with the same title, is particularly moving, but I love this banner.

Demonstrators hold a banner during a protest against Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, after Friday prayers in Kafranbel, near Idlib, Syria, on February 17, 2012. Demonstrations against Assad were reported by activists in several cities across Syria, including the capital Damascus and the commercial hub Aleppo, after Friday Muslim prayers despite the threat of violence from security forces.(Reuters)

This is a photo from walking around Stanley Park in Vancouver last week. (Updated with a better picture. The photo quality between the iPhone 4 and 4S is crazy.)

Look at this awful moustache. You can still barely see it. But it itches. There’s lots of blond hair in there as well. I swear!

Getting the ball rollin’ on donations is always the hardest part, so I donated $50 to the glory of my moustache and the cause. Cancer has certainly affected my family. Is there a family it doesn’t touch? It’s a silly moustache for a good reason. And I can barely wait until I shave it off, but until then I plan to raise a little money.

Could you spare $5, $10 or even $20? Please donate.

Last year, I pushed my moustache all month and by the end I felt like a month was too long (yet not long enough to actually grow a respectable moustache). This year I wanted to take a different approach. You are now entering moustache blitz week! It’s the last week of November (how the hell did that happen?!) and now I need your donations. Give purpose and meaning to this awful moustache and donate!

Bonus: Gerry Ritz’s moustache

I’m part of The Western Moducer’s team and if we collectively raise $10,000 Gerry Ritz (Federal Minister of Agriculture) will shave off his moustache.
