IT'S NOT A TRAP!
Welcome...
I did some simple Googling, check these links out:
Fred Perry @ 6pm.com
Coach Shorts @ Speedo (check out their other options, too)
This isn't a US site, but the shorts are great.
There is also a local company in SoCal called KATIN, they do custo…
Hahaha, this one made me smile and laugh silently to myself.
I will say one thing in Bear's defense, as I've already sided with Les Stroud...
After just now catching the last half of a "Behind The Scenes" episode of Man Vs. Wild, I still have great respect for Bear, but also for his crew. Those guys are all…
Pretty awesome. I wonder what some of the comments say...
Stroud does everything on the show twice. Once to set up the camera, another time to show us why.
I've been cutting my hair since I was 12 or 13, and I've got the kind of hairstyle (high and tight) that I can do easily by myself (with a little help in the back, sometimes). I only started getting my hair cut recently (in the last 3 years), so tha…
I would no sooner cut my own hair than give myself an appendectomy but your post did bring to mind something that happened years ago:
I had a coworker who was really struggling financially. He and his wife had moved to SC from OK following the oil…
I really want to get the kind that doesn't have plastic hair guards, I want metal guards. I want to have to repeatedly wrench into them, oil them up and hear them purr!
I did clippers on myself for years. I got a pretty nice set that lasted me well for about $45. (Still have them, just have to find them to get the brand off them.) I spent an extra $10 and got every size clipper guard available.
Must be a coast thing, we're terribly condescending. The show was pulled directly because of it's poor reception in the Mountain and Central timezones. That is middle 'merica, hence my generalization. No offense, well not much. I'm bitter.
It was still rather early in it's storyline opportunities, you can tell that loose ends weren't tied off and there was a lot more to come. Futurama is a sitcom with no linear structure, so it really doesn't have much in similarity. They really juice…
I can't afford to get to my barber as much as I'd ideally enjoy, so I want to get a nice pair of shears/clippers, possibly for my birthday that's coming up.
Now, I've always wanted a great pair that could last me years and years, though all I've had…
I've got a bag, halfway packed at all times, guns behind my door, but nothing ready to grab in case. Though I have thought a lot about what I'd do. I did think of Zombies happening, moreso than the apocalypse. But either way, I'm just about ready fo…
Hahaha, glad I wrote what I did without reading the last posts. Proves my point all the more.
Without even bothering to go through every page, I agree with all the thousands that said Arrested Development. That is by far, the most ridiculous decision that the geniuses at FOX could've done.
I don't live in middle 'merica, so I don't know wha…

- Books
- Back in 2003, my friend called me while I was in Lake Tahoe during the week of Christmas and informed me that they had caught Sadahm Hussein, he then went on to tell me that Sadahm's favorite book was the same as mine. That said, Ernest Hemingway once wrote a confusing, yet oddly amusing and erotic tale of a man and his struggle for self gratification, he called this book Old man and the sea. To the unlearned person, this was no literary movement, it was a giant piece of wtf? I love it, call me learn-ed.
Hunter S. Thompson was more than most people think, more than just a drug-crazed reporter. His writing spoke out against the criminal injustice, and in favor of the common person.
Animal Farm by George Orwell has always been a good read, I need to look into his other works, I hear 1984 is an eye opener.
Miranda July has newly become a favorite author of mine. Her stories are so well written, I can't help but enjoy them.
Robert Kirkman is responsible for a lot of really great comics including The Walking Dead and INVINCIBLE. Check them out.
I haven't been an adimate fan of reading books, but great writers such as these, I largely respect.
- Movies
- La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful) is my favorite movie, I've got a quote from LIFE (Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence) tattooed on my arm and I wish I had a copy of the video from our trip to tahoe 2k3.

- Yea, and he was hanging from the rafters of the newly-constructed gazebo we were all relaxing in. I just looked up from my "Mai-Tai" and spotted him about 6 feet from my head. Blacksnakes aren't poisonous, but STILL!

Hey Chris, I see you listed Hunter S. Thompson in your book section. Very cool. You won't see THAT name many places in this community... LOL. I'm liking you better, all the time!

Sure, it's only a .22, but it's the best .22 I've seen...
Click here to zoom.
Winchester Wildcatt .22 Target/Varmint (not with that scope).
She's a gorgeous bolt-action repeater .22 with a .827" boar barrel.

I've been a terrible AoMer lately...
I hadn't touched a computer from late Thursday until yesterday night (and only to do some work), so I've fallen behind on my 30 Days to a Better Man challenges, too far behind for my liking. I plan to make them up in full, just feel awful for getting this far and falling behind like I did.
I hope you are all doing better than I.

Late June/early July is the season for new beginnings, the halfway point in the year...
...Make the most of it. Quit your job if you haven't already, start something new and fresh. The economy's really not that bad.
The first half of 2009 was definitely challenging. I currently work for a company that deals with sending golfers to Mexico for extravagant vacations. I've been the only web/graphic designer for this company, the last 5+ years (almost 6), it was my first job out of college. 2009 brought lots of controversy to Mexico with the drug cartel violence, shootout… Continue

Psyillium, it'll make you better.
I have never posted a blog here before, so I'm going all-out with my first - No holds barred, I'm talking men's room topics and everything.
I have been a viewer of AoM for some time now, over a year easily, but only recently joined the AoM Community recently to start in the 30 Days to A Better Man project.
What's better to aid in becoming a Better Man than taking care of yourself? I say nothing.
