Song of the Week

OK, so its a cheesy 80s song, but when was the last time you saw a WWII music video? That alone makes it worth listening to.

Song of the week

The Comeback / Men

Due to a few people commenting that they had actually read this thing, I've decided to make an attempt at revitalizing it, starting with a new song of the week.



A pretty hilarious song that, sadly, seems to represent an increasingly small number of men out there. As Brad says, "It's hip now to be feminized." Here's a list of a few skills I think would be worth knowing for anyone, but I think are particularly essential for a man to know.

1. Use basic hand and power tools
2. Complete minor auto repair (change tire, oil, etc)
3. Drive a Stick shift
4. Make fire without matches or lighter
5. Shoot and clean a gun
6. Defend your life
7. Skin and clean a deer
8. Cook a steak
9. Sharpen a knife
10. Converse intelligently about current events
11. Tie your own necktie
12. Make love to a woman
13. Be a man of your word
14. Be yourself

Number 14 is a rule everyone has a hard time following, man or woman. If you dont want to learn to do something on my list, dont do it. You're your own man; do something because you want to and you realize the usefulness of those skills.

Until next time....

Song of the Week #3

Well, you can see a million miles tonight, but you cant get very far...

Why Toyota is beating GM

In a project I have to complete for an IE class, I needed to collect information relating to a new car loan (interest rates, loan term, etc). I went to two seperate chevy dealerships, where I was instantly dismissed by the salesmen as soon as they learned I wasnt interested in buying a car. Dejected, I decided to try my luck at a Toyota dealership I had passed on the way to the second Chevy dealership.

Not only was the salesman at the Toyota dealership MUCH friendlier than either of the chevy dealership, but within five minutes, he had all the information I needed to complete my project. He understood, unlike the chevy salesman, that I am going to graduate college someday. Someday, a 30 year chevy is going to die. And on that day, I am going to want to buy a new car.

If it werent for my unbreakable bond with GM, I would be unlikely to ever set foot in a chevy dealership again. I am the exception, not the rule. The average consumer has no brand loyalty. Turning a student away today is as good as turning away a customer tomorrow.

Gun Control Means....

...hitting your target, of course!

These shots were taken at 25 yards from a .22 rifle. For people who are good at shooting, doing this off a benchrest is nothing special. Im still a beginner though, so I still have lots of room to improve!

If you've never been shooting before, and are among those who feel that all gun owners are just a nervous breakdown away from a shooting rampage, be aware of this: Shooting well requires traits that are just the opposite of those you would expect to see in a madman. The patience and discipline required shoot well encourage responsability.

If you have never had the pleasure of going shooting, I highly suggest you give it a try. I can promise you that you will have fun.
