Rather than go on a tangent discussing the origins, I leave the reader to ponder if these are worthwhile today. “The world speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Chinese, or Spanish, or English, or […]

Man Up! Men Mis-Reading Maps

Map and Treasure

There are a couple short cuts, or guy codes, that have gotten us in trouble lately. Several of the most troublesome and stereotypical guy codes are “Man up,” “Be a man,” and “Grow a pair”.

Hoax Number 5 (a satire)

I usually avoid political commentary, but I love to write song satires when I feel inspired. Usually they’re not topical, but a Periscope video with Scott Adams recently mentioned what he considers the fifth major political news hoax. I heard this not long after hearing the song Mambo Number 5 on an oldies radio station. […]

The Missing Cheat Code

Despite there being 14 cheat codes, there are a few things I left out. One of them seemed less like a cheat code, and more like an introduction to all the cheat codes. I was debating whether it should be cheat code 0, or maybe the missing cheat code.

Sick and Angry? Me too.

I was intrigued by some of these “Me too!” threads, so I read a few of them that looked interesting. After reading some and replying to a couple, I realized how bad I was feeling; i was sick and angry, but probably not for the reasons you think.

I Remember When I Lost My Mind

A Lesson in Cognitive Dissonance Good music is hard to find nowadays.  Most pop music is formulaic and repetitive It might have a good beat, or be danceable, but it’s nothing special. A song that’s memorable, or touches you in some way, is a rare find nowadays.  A few years back I found one that […]

Real Men Don’t Walk This Way

As I post this, Donald Trump has been President of the United States for 14 days, and the United States is still holding together. I’ve had a bunch of Facebook friends talk about participating in some of the protest marches around the country after the inauguration.  Some of the most popular ones are the women’s […]

Poker Tells and Insults

When the subject of masculine games comes up, inevitably you’ll hear examples such as football, rugby, baseball, soccer, and even poker.  Whereas the 1st four are physical, the last one, poker, is more intellectual.  If you want to play physical games at a high level, you need to practice physical activities and develop the body.

Gentleman, or Obsessive?

I have written before about love song lyrics.  It’s not a pretty picture.  Love songs are extremely bad representations of love and romance.  No guy should ever copy the behavior portrayed in the songs. The roles of men reflected in the lyrics paint a picture of guys who fail at anything remotely masculine.  At best, […]
