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.

College Paper: Critical Analysis of Antigone

Below is a copy of an English Comp II paper on Antigone. For use as an example only. Critical Analysis of Antigone Themes of Life, Death, Sin, and Virtue Analysis of Sophocles' play Antigone and its major themes Antigone is a play similar to Oedipus Rex in its dark tone, mythical themes, and tragic story. However, Sophocles' writing seems clearer in this play, and Antigone is much more character-driven with complex, well developed characters. Through Sophocles' brilliant characterization of people at war with themselves, Inner conflict emerges as the central theme of the play. The play is all about conflict including the obvious themes like man's rules versus divine law, and pride versus honor; as well as the deeper subtext of each character's internal conflicts.   Kreon for example, is caught between his duty to the gods and his pride. His character has changed dramatically from the time of Oedipus to the events of Antigone. He is still aware of...

A Brief Look at the Eventful Life of Samuel Tilden

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. ...
