The style guide for guys sucks. I don’t like any of these styles. I want clothes that are classic, timeless, and most of all, masculine. These styles seem silly and childish. Get your $#!% straight H&M!

WatchThis video is the reason why I’ve come to accept that it might not be necessary that I suffer for my art.
Eureka!
Bloody hell, I think I figured out where my stoked-ness went! I haven’t been working out consistently and my testosterone levels must be way too low. I’ve felt like a piss poor dude lately, and frankly I am getting on my nerves, big time. I’m going to workout tomorrow and from here on out, no matter what.

I thought there I would find solitude, and in solitude I would find God. But I am only a piece of his creation, and so only a small part of his...
