If you had to come up with a list of ‘things’ that every man should master, how many would you come up with? What is more important, that a man can tie a bow tie, swim at least 3 different strokes, or know when to split cards when playing blackjack?
Luckily for you, Esquire has done all of the work for you with their list of the 75 skills every man should master. Keep in mind that I’ve mastered 43 of these skills, and I’m a chick… so take a look and let me know how well you do!
This evening I saw a commercial for a YouTube video that looks too unbelievable to be true. I won’t give the whole story away, but I will start you off with this question - who would win in a fight in the wild: buffalo vs. lion? buffalo vs. crocodile? baby buffalo calf vs. multiple lions AND a crocodile? Watch for yourself. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM
Anyone who knows me knows of my obsession with Hawaii. After visiting for 2 weeks last winter, I have decided that I would love to move to Maui one day. The only deterrents being the high cost of living, lack of PR/marketing jobs on the islands, and the natives who disapprove of the mainlanders who try to ‘take over’ and monetize their once peaceful and sacred paradise.
Earlier this week a native Hawaiian group (which is only one of many) has occupied the grounds of the old Hawaiian monarchy’s royal residence in an interesting attempt to demonstrate their dedication to stay and do the business of the kingdom’s government. During the turmoil, visitors to the Iolani Palace had to be turned away.
“It is through a greater realm than ours” that the group took this action, said Mahealani Kahau, elected leader of the group, called Hawaiian Kingdom Government. “Today and every day, we will be here to assume our role.”
According to CNN the group, along with others, rejects statehood and seeks to return to the constitutional monarchy that ended in 1893 when a group of politicians, businessmen and sugar planters — aided by the U.S. minister to Hawaii — overthrew the kingdom’s government.
