Well, well, well. I'm back.

Gentlemen--

This has most certainly been a long time coming but I have made my return to the blogosphere with one thing in mind:

(No, today I am not talking about the deprevations of the single life)

Today, I am talking about the fact that it is OK to be single.

First, the obvious benefits:

When you're single you can do this:

Wear this:

And no one ever holds it against you if you are caught doing this:

But lets be honest: is that what you want to be doing anyways...?

Obviously, yes.

But should you...?

Probably not.

Have some self-worth! Have some integrity! There is honor in being single!

You can do this:

Visit these:

Eat this:

And live here:

Enjoy the time you have left to yourself and learn some things in the mean time. It's learning, discovery, fine dining, and good living that make a gentleman. It may be a trial by fire, but the end result is worth it.


So have some pride in being single, my friends. Have some pride in being a man and have some pride in being a gentleman.


Cheers.

Art.

Lets cut straight to the point:
Put some art on your walls. 

Find some prints or quality photographs, blow them up to poster size, and either frame them or buy some stretcher bars at your local hardware store to turn them into canvases. Find art you're passionate about; things that really catch your eye. Our goal here is for a woman to walk into your home and think to herself, "This man has culture," or "this man has personality."

And lets be clear: swimsuit models don't qualify you as either cultured or interesting. Neither do unframed movie posters. Sorry, gents. 

Check out these websites for great deals on inexpensive art:
