Remember, the best of us are not the best because we exercise a heroic amount of self-control and willpower all the time.
The best of us put ourselves in the most ideal situations and cultures for success.
Make it EASY to be a man!

I don’t just enjoy it, I live it. No deodorant or cologne will touch this body, ever! Even after I shower, I still permeate man-scented goodness. You can scrub me down, but you’ll never rid of my manhood. And, quite frankly, I wouldn’t change that for the world. Don’t like it? Tough! You can either learn to like it, or fuck your girlyboy, floral smelling self right off from my wonderfully masculine stinking bubble. There’s plenty of men I can proudly continue smelling natural with. Leave the ripe pitting and sweaty nut sacking to be huffed and enjoyed to the real men, while you mask your sad, self-emasculating, sociatle-conforming, perfume-scented selves out of our permanent “post-hard day at work” stinky dude lifestyle. #staycalmandkeepstinking

So yeah. I bought an additional vehicle. This one is for the winter, and occasional camping. Still fits with the “things 12yo me would think were cool” motif.
12 year old me would approve of adult me.
I’m immature enough to feel this is cool.
Toys n vices.
My Brethren It Is Easter
As a gift that keeps on giving, I wanna share The Chosen with you, if you haven’t heard of it already. It’s a show that is HBO quality giving what may be the most human depiction of Jesus’ life in all of media.
It’s a passion project done by multiple denominations of Christianity, entirely crowd-funded, and it is completely free to watch.

A while back I heard my friend (male) insult another dude by saying, “You look like the kind of guy who wouldn’t go to Wal-Mart to buy his girlfriend a box of tampons” and I still think about that crowning insult sometimes
My dad once called another guy “someone who thinks loading the dishwasher once in a while makes him less of a man”
I like your dad already
one time my dad’s boss was giving him shit for always leaving work early so he could get home and help my mom with me when i was a newborn and his boss said “i’ve never changed a diaper in my life” really proudly and my dad responded “i’d be ashamed to ever admit i was that worthless of a husband”
oh WOW
This is by far my most popular post.
“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”

“Let me tell you something kid, everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either ‘cause they’re too scared, or because they don’t recognize it when it spits on their shoes. This is your big chance, and you shouldn’t let it go by…”

“Aristocratic gentlemen in Europe, and sometimes in this country, go out with a couple of friends and try to kill each other with swords or revolvers at twenty paces. Why don’t they settle the question with their fists? There would be no loss of life and it would be equally effective in determining who is the better man.”
John L. Sullivan (October 1858 - February 1918)

“We are such spendthrifts with our lives, the trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.”

“For decades, in show business, the ultimate goal of every comedian was to host The Tonight Show. It was the Holy Grail, and like many people I thought that achieving that goal would define me as successful. But that is not true. No specific job or career goal defines me, and it should not define you. In 2000 —I told graduates to not be afraid to fail, and I still believe that. But today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.”

“I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true — hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.”

“And finally, in our time a beard is the one thing that a woman cannot do better than a man, or if she can her success is assured only in a circus.”
