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.

How to be happy. Four things to remember.

Remember that hateful people don't win by hating you, they win by making you hate them. We have all been angry. We have all felt hate whether we admit it or not. Your jaw clenches, the back of your neck and ears get hot, your fists clench and your mind is racing with every horrible thing you can think about this person who has wronged you. Typically this is a passing feeling as you react to something and once you calm down, it's back to normal for you. However, there are some people who stay in this place living in hate. Think about how you feel in that moment of intense anger. Imagine being trapped there all the time. This is the life of the hateful person. Think of them as a drowning person who is trying to pull you down with them. Or as I like to think of it, a hateful life is a lonely life and if I hate you and make you hate me, I'm not alone in that angry dark place anymore. You can't always transform hate, but you don't have to let hate transform you.

A Short Biography of Joseph Pulitzer

"Joseph  Pulitzer  was born in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847, the son of a wealthy grain merchant of Magyar-Jewish origin and a German mother who was a devout Roman Catholic. He was educated in Budapest. He decided to become a soldier and tried in turn to enlist in the Austrian Army, Napoleon's Foreign Legion for duty in Mexico, and the British Army for service in India. He was rebuffed because of weak eyesight and frail health, which were to plague him for the rest of his life."[1] After two other European armies declined to admit him, Pulitzer joined the American Union army. [2]  This occurred when he met a bounty recruiter in Hamburg,  Germany  and contracted to enlist as a substitute for a draftee, a procedure permitted under the Civil War draft system. "Pulitzer migrated to the United States in 1864 and served in the first New York cavalry during the American Civil War."

Canine Influenza: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Pet

Influenza affects millions of people every year; people rush to get flu shots every winter, and many become gravely ill from influenza infection. What a lot of people don't know is that our pets can get the flu as well. We don't usually think of our dogs getting the flu or coming down with a cold, but it is much more common than you might think. The canine influenza virus known as H3N8, was discovered in 2004 and has been found in cases throughout the U.S. This virus is commonly referred to as dog flu, however, this term is not favored by experts in the field as it creates confusion and leads people to falsely associate it with viruses affecting humans such as the bird flu and swine flu. It is important to note that this is specifically a virus impacting canines and is not transferable to humans. While H3N8 is not a direct threat to people, it is of specific concern to dog owners.
