As most readers have seen, I have added a link to sign up for the RSS feed. Many people I speak to in the real world don’t even know what an RSS feed is, let alone wanting to link to mine. I will have to do an entire post on this as I hope all who have blogs do as well. Of course, all RSS feeds are free and it is merely a information “push” from a blog or a news site as they update with …

Over at the About page is where you will why I finally decided pulled this blog together. There has been a burning desire to write on this topic for quite some time and I was encouraged to go for it.
Well, the first month is in the books. I have struggled with HTML, themes, plugins, widgets, formatting, the list is huge. I don’t regret spending one moment on it as I know I am learning a skill that I can use forever.
I have no idea if this site …

Watch Pilot Episode Of AMC’s Mad Men For Free

One of my more controversial posts thus far, The Manly Side Of Smoking, reminded me of a show that I absolutely love. The good folks over at the Art of Manliness would probably love this show, since it is all throwback to the 1960’s era of working in an ad agency. The show is called Mad Men and is on AMC as an original series. I found out that AMC has decided to put its pilot episode of the show online for all to view again. …

The good folks over at Wisebread (a personal finance website I follow) wrote a piece today asking the question “Will Companies Ever Woo Again?” I started reading the post and I knew where it was going, so I wasn’t soiling my pants with anticipation of the information. Good writers, good blog, but know the issues and the topic so I was not going crazy with anticipation. They were simply saying that times are tough and they were exploring the issue of when, or even “if”, companies will …

I Don’t Need No Stinkin Water, Throw Me A Beer!!!

Ahhh, yes. Here we are again. July 4th marks the middle of summer and it’s time again for fireworks, sunburns and loads of dehydrated fun in the sun. There is so much to do around this time of year, it can be overwhelming.
Every blog in the ether will be writing something about the 4th of July weekend (at least US based blogs since our holiday weekend doesn’t mean whole heckuva lot to the rest of the world – especially in England 🙂 ) What you …

Manliness Trait:  Treat Ordinary People Extraordinary, Treat Extraordinary People Ordinary

There is a wonderful compliment you can give just about anyone you ever come across (including the rich and famous) – Treat Ordinary People Extraordinary, and Treat Extraordinary People Ordinary. As a Manliness Trait, it is right near the top of my list since it is core to being seen as having the manly skills that turn us from being just a guy, to being genuine man.
I first heard this entire saying several years ago when someone was trying to explain what made Larry King, the reporter, so effective …
