Please Pull Forward!
I like drive through's because they are convenient. However, some people do not completely understand the concept of a drive through. These people are the topic of my Rant today!
Has this ever happened to you? You are in your car waiting in line at the drive through of your choice (my choice is usually Starbucks). The person in front of you places their order and for some reason only pulls forward about 7 feet! You clearly do not have enough room to get even close to the speaker/microphone so that you may place your order because the last 4 feet of their car is STILL IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKER! This wonderful citizen still has no clue that anyone is in line behind them, plus the fact that they are obviously afraid of the vehicle and driver in front of them- so they are staying cautiously away!
At this point, the employee working the drive through is asking you via the speaker you're not close to, if you would like to try some sort of green tea something-or-other. "No...I just want the idiot in front of me to pull forward a little more!"
4 vehicles in front of you, a happy couple has just received their drinks and is leaving the drive through area. 3 vehicles in front of you a Toyota Pathfinder pulls to the window, 2 cars ahead of you is following closely behind the Pathfinder and then there is your friend...and God only knows what they are doing! They drive forward about another 6 feet, still at a "safe" distance behind the car in front of them, but thankfully you can get close enough to the speaker/microphone to place you order without having to shout. You politely place your order and now the mind-set shifts. I like this part! Now its your turn to make room for the person behind you to order, so what do you do? Well, obviously you must pull forward as far as you can, even if that means making the driver of the vehicle in front of you a little uncomfortable due to the lack of distance between your car and theirs (remember how scared they are of other vehicles).
What is it with those people? They coincidently are usually the same ones who drop their money on the ground, suddenly remember they need to buy a gift card, return their drink immediately and/or refuse to drive away until they have put all of the change into the proper sized slots of the arm rest console.
If you are one of these people, or know one of these people, please, please, please...
PULL YOUR DANG CAR FORWARD!

Mustache- The hair growing on the human upper lip, especially when cultivated or groomed.
When did things begin going so badly for the mustache? What once was a symbol of strength and facial hair growing status now has now been smudged. The mustache has been given a "black eye" if you will. Before the "door knocker" was made so popular by baseball players and youth workers across America (1995-present) there was the mustache.
Commonly refered to today as a "trash-stache", "molestache" or "porn star stache", the mustache in general is not a popular facial grooming style. My question is, "Why?".
Last weekend as I was getting ready for the gambit of graduations, weddings and church services that were coming my way I left my mustache in the "Fu-Manchu" style. I have included a picture of this for your viewing pleasure. When my beautiful wife saw my newly formed 'stache, she informed me that she would not be seen with me at any of the events we would be attending unless I subtracted the addition.

Some very popular and very powerful men have sported 'staches' over the years: Yosemite Sam, Adolph Hitler, Tom Selleck, my uncles Mark and Steve, millions of 11-13 year old boys and more recently Gonzaga basketball player Adam Morrison.

Why are the goatee and the "soul patch" the prefered facial hair styles of today? Is the mustache coming back in style? Did the mustache ever actually go out of style? What type of man, or in some cases woman, keep a mustache? Are facial hair styles cyclical?

I personally think that the goatee will soon join the mustache as out dated. The next popular facial hair style will be the Hulihee.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the mustache.

And until next time, don't forget to style and groom your facial hairs!

Well, this is me. Some call me Homer, others call me Matt, but most just don't call me at all. Now don't feel sorry for me...I like it that way.
Welcome to my blog. I am usually a little behind the cutting edge of technology. Many of my friends have a blog, so I thought I would follow the trend.
I titled my blog, -My Rant-My Ramble- because that is what I tend to do.
An introduction is all I will post for now. Check back soon for my first "real" post. If you would like for me to address a specific topic please let me know and I would be happy to oblige.
