Good post ^ Don't let the following video title throw you off. There is tons of good wisdom to be found here on becoming a better person and man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAIqAznKS3Y

lol

It would have been funnier if you said "high on the ganja" - using an old term, since you so old.

You're high

That movie with the Baldwin brother having a sex scene with Cindy Crawford was a definite watch.

nice post

Yep, me too. Culture is what is screwed up. I used to think something was wrong with me because I didn't fit into it; turns out, I'm sane, culture is insane.

how much time has passed since you last talked? Have you thought about just showing up at his house for a surprise visit? Was it a slow falling out or abrupt?

I happen to think that some of the problems we currently face is a lack of real Masculine Role Models. Drifter's "Get off my lawn" thread highlights problems with family that probably have roots in "single mother" homes and lack of father's. 50% divorce rates, etc. So what does Being a Man mean to you? Share your thoughts, passages from books, how to videos, famous quotes, etc. I'll start with a passage from a book I'm currently reading entitled The Art of Manliness on Self-Reliance Every Man Should be able to Save his own Life from Endurance, 1926 by Earle Liederman Every man should be able to save his own life. He should be able to swim far enough, run fast and long enough to save his life in case of emergency and necessity. He also should be able to chin himself a reasonable number of times, as well as to dip a number of times and he should be able to jump a reasonable height and distance. If he is of the fat, porpose type, naturally he cannot do all, if any, of these things; he has nobody to blame but himself, and his way of living that has brought his body into its condition of obesity. Suppose - and it has happend many times - there should be a fire at sea or on a lake or river; should one be half a mile or more from the shore, he would be mighty thankful to realize, were he compelled to jump for his life from the fire, that he could swim that distance and reach the shore in safety. Suppose one were in a burning building and he had to lower himself hand under hand down a rope or down an improvised rope of bedclothing tied together to reach the ground in safety; he again would be thankful a thousand times that he possessed the strength and endurance in his arms and coordinate muscles that would enable him to save himself. Such things never may happen, and let us hope they do not, but what has happend always is possible to occur again - and, in fact, is always happening to someone. I do not believe in everyone striving to be a long distance swimmer, a long distance runner, or any kind of endurance athlete. But he should be able to swim at least half a mile or more; he should be able to run at top speed two hundred yards or more; he should be able to jump over obstacles higher than his waist; and he should be in condition to pull his body weight upward by the strength of his arms, until his chin touches his hands, at least fifteen to twenty times; and as for pushing ability, he should be able to dip between parallel bars or between two chairs at least twenty-five times or more. If he can accomplish these things he need have no fear concerning the safety of his life should he be forced into an emergency from which he alone may be able to save himself.

I feel you man, I have lost several friends because they became so self absorbed with their own lives. There is a lyric from a NIN song that always struck me about this situation. "Everyone I know....goes away.....in the end." It's a great song, but Johnny Cash's rendition of it is heartbreaking/legendary

I just meant that MMA seemed to be a lot bigger now than it was back in the day.

I don't get into Pop Culture much. About my only "experience" with it is watching Breaking Bad, Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy. I was into UFC way back in the day, just after High School; Hoyce Gracy days, but I didn't keep following it. ^ good video, thanks for sharing.

I didn't know who Evan Tanner was. I just looked him up. Nice! I'd love to see a 6" beard on someone from the forum. I haven't measured mine yet, (uh oh, might get thrown into the 'no context thread here) but I'd say its about 4" long. lmao It should take 1 year to get 6" since beard hair grows at about 1/2" per month. It grows faster in the summer, by the way.

I love Fall brews. Oktoberfest especially!

eh I don't know about this one.

Yeah, good points there. Something like Todd's gang "We saved your ass, now cook for us" only Walt is wanting revenge for them killing hank and taking his family or something.

@dr diamond - New Deadlift PR - 204 x 4 Not nearly close to you though. I just started getting serious about upping the weight though.

where can I get those wires for wrapping? I'm gonna order my bonsai pot next week.

haha, nice. I'd keep my greys if they came in symmetrically; but as of now they are just sporadic. I'm thinking I'll dye until I'm 40 and then see what's up. I did trim my mustache down across my top lip. It was getting hard to eat with those big old box cars. I trimmed up the side burns too so that it makes my face skinnier but kept all the rest. Still going. 3 more months to make a year!

and what's the M-60 for? lol

Yeah, this was intense at the end. I have been saying for the past 3 episodes, why doesn't walt just use the disappearing guy after he was getting heat. It's a huge hole in the plot.

damn, fucking cliffhangers
