A lifetime of information in 7:05 of internet time.

Count me as one of the guys that has said “If I could only go back in time with the knowledge and experience that I have now.” Well, that was before I saw this video. Not since UPS built a two year add campaign on the shoulders of a guy with a hockey mullethas anyone captivated me more in front of a white board. Just amazing stuff.

PS. Just keep in mind, in order for all these zones to work, we’re going to need a few gentleman to operate solely in the “No-Go” Zone. It’s not a graph or chart rule, it’s a rule of nature. So if you’re hanging out in the Fun-Zone and you’re not quite feeling it, there’s nothing wrong with you. We’re just going to need you to put on a helmet and be brave.

Double PS. I agree with him on “Tiffany’s.” They’re all crazy.

Triple PS. Hairdressers are supposed to be crazy. That’s what makes dropping north of $20 for a haircut worth it.

Can I Be Frank?: 37 Guidelines to being a Good Dude

Growing up to be a responsible adult male takes a lot of work. It takes years of teaching from our elders. It takes hundreds of mistakes. It is a lifelong learning experience that none of us will ever perfect but we keep trying. I think we have all absorbed many of the same little tid bits to make us better men.

Here are your 37 Guidelines to being a Good Dude:

1. Give a firm handshake…..unless you want to really freak a guy out…then offer him the ‘dead fish’ and a painfully slow wink

2. Chew with your mouth AND EYES closed. Power move.

3. Love dogs. Hate cats. (I hate both but I have no soul)

4. Learn for cook for yourself. If not for yourself, for the ladies. A man in a kitchen is irresistible.

5. Always give up your seat on the bus (do people still ride the bus?) to an older, a pregnant, or a hot woman. If a woman possesses all three of these attributes, give her a high five as well.

6. Fight fair. Always. Unless said opponent is stronger, bigger or tougher. In that case, throw a sucker punch and bolt for the fire escape.

7. Learn to like (or at least fake-like) martinis or whiskey. James Bond & Frank Sinatra can’t be wrong.

8. Always hold the door open for a woman. If you have to hold a door open for a man, then no eye contact or pleasantries allowed. Continue reading →
