BRINGING MAN BACK

I'm bringing man back.


there has been too much of this:(you need to enlarge the pic to gain a true appreciation.)

and this:


(this shirt is what's known as a "deep cut v-neck." apparently the original v-neck t-shirt didn't show enough of a man's delicate collar bone, thus the need for the "deep cut" version.)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this:


sorry, but it's lame and unmanly.
i'm afraid i don't understand the drive for a man to dress and style himself after a woman. men are not pretty, were not meant to be pretty, will never be pretty, and should not try to be pretty. we should let women wear clothes that have become the norm for them and we should stick to what we know.


so how will i bring man back?

first i'll be examining pictures like this:would robert duvall be caught dead having a beer with the any of those nerds?

how about bear grylls? does he wear chick pants?

negative, he wears man pants.

how about some grizzly adams?

the dude hung out with a bear.

what have i learned from these pictures? first, a man needs to be dirty. occasionally cleanliness is acceptable, but we shouldn't go overboard with cleaning products or good-smelly stuff. next, every day clothing should accentuate manliness, which means it should be basic and functional. facial hair, though not necessary, is clearly the direction in which to err. each of these dudes wore boots. just sayin, toms and all other shoes with wussy soles won't get you too far in the realm of manliness. lastly, no hair styling products.

my goal is to bring man back. in order to do so i will take several vows:
i vow not to shave my beard off for the entire school year unless it is into the form of other facial hair such as a mustache.
i vow not to use hair styling products such as gel or wax
i vow to wear flannel at least once a week, once i get some flannel.
i vow to wear boots twice a week.
i vow never to wear a v-neck t-shirt.
i vow only to wear pants made for men.
i vow to carry a knife in order to cut things.
