A Men's Guide to Being More Awesome

Let's face it, as men we are generally James Bond in our minds but more Homer Simpson in reality. We like simple things frozen pizza, beer, couches. that sounds like everything you need for a perfect weekend right? Well sometimes we get these crazy ideas about doing more...getting that unattainable girl, getting that big-shot job, taking charge and kicking life's ass. Well if you want to pry yourself off the couch and be a better man, here are some simple things that go a long way.



Buy Good Cologne

 

Note: Axe is not cologne! If you are dousing yourself in body spray like a teenage boy, it's time to grow up and purchase some men's cologne. The right fragrance sets you apart from the rest of the guys in the club, and indicates a maturity and confidence  that will take you far in all social affairs.

Stop Eating Crap


Eating healthy benefits you in every way. Junk food not only increases your waist size, but also negatively impacts your mood and physical ability. Taking in proper nutrients from whole food sources has great affect on overall health including sexual performance. 


Get Some Exercise


Of course build muscle/burn fat. This is not anything you haven't heard before, but did you know that Exercise has positive impact on mental well being and mood? Running actually releases endorphins to the brain making you feel better. So go for a daily jog to make yourself healthier physically and mentally.

Dress Better

 

If you don't own a dress shirt, buy one. Same for dress shoes. A button up shirt and a pair of jeans allows you to be casual while still bringing you a step up from being the guy in a t-shirt and ball cap. Learn to iron and invest in some magnetic collar stays to keep you looking crisp. Remember, it's all about the details.

Educate yourself

 

Read a book, watch a documentary, have something of substance to talk about. Whether you are on a date or a job interview, nothing is worse than the awkward silence and desperation of being at a loss for words. communication is key in everyday life. No magic cologne is going to make up for a lack of personality, and you can't carry on a conversation consisting of "look how shiny my shoes are. Check out my fancy shirt." However, if you master communication you can talk your way into achieving whatever you want.

What is Shinto? An Overview of Ancient Japanese Mythology Spiritualism, Mysticism, and the Kami

Shinto began in ancient times as a shamanistic practice of nature worship much like the early druids. As outside cultural and spiritual influences came to Japan, what started as a loosely formed nature cult grew into a religion that has acquired many followers and greatly impacted world culture. Shintoism is a religion that is strongly connected to teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. Shinto belief borrows much from the teachings of these sister religions, but still it remains unique in its structure. Without great study of Shintoism, one could easily see the influence from Buddhist and Toaist temples by looking at a Shinto shrine. In Japan it is common to see statues of Koma-inu placed outside of Shinto shrines. Koma-inu are guardians against evil that strongly resemble the Chinese guardian lions found outside Buddhist temples. To further show the importance of Chinese Taoism in the inspiration for Shinto beliefs, the word Shinto adopts the Chinese word Tao which translate...

Samuel Jones Tilden was born in New Lebanon, New York in 1814. He was educated at Yale University and the University of the city of New York. He was admitted to the bar in 1841. [1]  Tilden became an outstanding corporation lawyer, who mastered the complexities of reorganizing and refinancing railroads. He amassed a fortune in fees, which he augmented by shrewd  investments  in railroads, iron mines, and real estate. [2] Tilden had shown leadership ability early in his political career. An ardent Jacksonian in the 1830's, Tilden became a leader in the 1840's of the Barnburners. [3]  "The Barnburners were a radical element of the Democratic party in New York State from 1842 to 1848. The name derives from the fabled Dutchman who burned his barn to rid it of rats; by implication, the Barnburners would destroy corporations and public works to do away with the abuses they foster". [4]  This alliance illustrated Tilden's commitment to the abolition of corruption. ...
