that is sweet. I got the standard cop goin right now, but someday will be looking for th flying V.
I rep the "Bunny-Down/Grizzled" look, apparently.
hard panned when i get lazy... wispy wiggins when i trim. grizzled when i screw up
Cool, looks like I"m a "maltese" or thereabouts. I want to work up to a "queen's brigade".
Mine probably resembles the "grizzled" beard moreso than the others except that it's mostly dark blond with a little white here and there.
Love it! I'm currently working on a set of Ear Spoilers, although the bit below the jawline is a challenge ...
And I'm between "Bunny Down" and "Hard Pan."
My ambition is to have a "Lose Your Keys."
So rad. thanks Chris. I guess I'm either a "Wispy Wiggins" or a "Bunny Down" whatever that means... :)
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I guess I'll start by saying that I live in Southern California...
In my little Mazda Protege5 wagon I carry a lot: a lot, though it isn't all necessary. Just sayin'...
Some of the most important things, I've come to find:
-Jumper cables
-flashl...
Not sure if any of you have seen this already, but:

I've always had a few names in mind for future sons, they ring somewhat violent, though: Gunnar & Hunter.
My father's name is Michael (Patrick Partida), seems to be a crowd favorite. My brothers are David Daniel, Christopher Patrick (myself), Ste...
Any idea what barber shop this took place at? I'd assume somewhere in NYC...
I wouldn't mind stopping in for a cut, the next time I am out there.
I have no qualms with cleaning up a friend's kitchen (back of the neck). Just let me know when, well if your wife didn't get a chance.
You trim your armpit hair down to a 1 or 2? Don't the sharp ends irritate? I've never thought of trimming them, but that's not to say I wouldn't. Who knows, maybe I'd sweat less with less hair?
Hi Corey,
You are definitely not the lone gal amongst us all. My girlfriend also reads AoM religiously, as well as plenty of gals I've seen here in the Community. She certainly wishes that there was a comparable site for women.
That said: welcom...

- 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.
Directors/ Screenwriters Spike Jonze, Wes Anderson, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Gondry, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, Cohen Brothers, Roberto Benigni, Charlie Kaufman, Darren Aronofsky, Harmony Korine, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Chris Cunningham, Alfonso Cuaron, Jim Jarmusch, Tim Burton, Jon Favreau and many more.
I also love NETFLIX. Love like a man has for a DVD rental service.

- 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.
