Shaving is a ritual that millions of men perform every day. We do it to show the world a clean-shaven face that reflects our serious demeanor and dedication to a presentable appearance. Though some women prefer facial hair, in my experience a clean shave is the look that appeals most […]
My Introduction to Game
I first stumbled across Game years ago. It was Maniac High’s “No Nonsense Guide to Laying a Chick for Beginners“. I don’t remember how I found it, I was probably searching for porn. Though the Guide never got me laid, it was my first introduction to the idea that hot […]
Moving to Poland
I’ve made the leap and moved to Warsaw, Poland’s capital. It’s a trial for now (6 months), but it could lead to a longer stay. I lived here for almost two years as a kid with my family, and 20 years later I’m back on my own. There are many […]
What’s Your Time Worth?
Working for a salary is a problem. Making money is great, but over time you’ll come to realize that salaries, even generous ones, don’t pay you what you’re worth. I make in the neighborhood of $65K annually. While this is a good salary for my education-related field, I also live […]

Untethering may seem like escapism to some, but its true value lies in the opportunities that we can open up for ourselves by letting go […]
We Remember
More than 6,000 U.S. military personnel have been killed since 9/11 and tens of thousands have been wounded. After over a decade, its hard to remember that we’re still at war. While we should pay tribute to those that serve every day, especially the wounded and fallen, Memorial Day is […]
Focus
Being ambitious is easy. Staying focused on whats in front of you is hard. The greater your ambitions, the more goals you’ll have and the more numerous the steps will be to achieve them. In my ten years or so of gaining leadership experience and learning theory, I’ve come to […]
Competition
A recent post by Dagonet talks about how as men, we need to compete. It goes back millenia to when men had to prove themselves as leaders in a tribe, a process that was never settled, since there were always new challengers to dethrone the top dog. Today we don’t have […]
