The Man’s Guide to Love
About:
All over the country, we’re asking men: “If you had one piece of advice that you’d give another man about love, what would it be?” These are their answers.
“Sometimes I agree, and I don’t even know what I’m agreeing with.”
“I don’t know whoever came up with the idea that love is forever, cause it’s crap.”
“It’s the smallest gestures that are going...

Iron & Wine ::: Boy With A Coin
“You ever think about how in, like, a Tom Hanks movie, everyone lives in a reality in which there’s no such person as Tom Hanks? Because otherwise, people would be mistaking the main character for Tom Hanks all the time? So either Tom Hanks doesn’t exist in the world the movie takes place in, or he does exist but he looks like someone else? I mean, you could have a character break the...

Anthropologie always has pretty bits and pieces. Yet every time I try something on of theirs, I feel like I’m playing dress-up in my mother’s clothes. For now, I will just admire from afar. I do LOVE their undergarments. So playful & vintage.
GUESTBREAKER: You Use The :-P Emoticon In Every Text/Email/Facebook Post You Send Me Look, you’re a great co-worker, and we had some nice talks at work. So I didn’t think much of it when you added me on facebook, or asked for my number. I figured we could hang out sometime. But I’ve started to notice something: you end every sentence with the tongue-sticking-out emoticon. Seriously. You...

Rogert Ebert: The Essential Man
Growing up in Chicago, I have a special place in my heart for Rogert Ebert. Great article from the March 2010 edition of Esquire.
By: Chris Jones
It has been nearly four years since Roger Ebert lost his lower jaw and his ability to speak. Now television’s most famous movie critic is rarely seen and never heard, but his words have never stopped.
For the 281st time in the last ten months...

Sinatra's Rules
“For me, a tuxedo is a way of life. When an invitation says black tie optional, it is always safer to wear black tie. My basic rules are to have shirt cuffs extended half an inch from the jacket sleeve. Trousers should break just above the shoe. Try not to sit down because it wrinkles the pants. If you have to sit, don’t cross your legs. Pocket handkerchiefs are optional, but I always wear...

What would you do?
Eschuk, a user on the social media site Reddit, has created a detailed, eight-phase, 1600-word survival plan in response to the question, “If you became the last person on Earth, what would you do? Realistically.” Eschuk’s vision is nothing if not realistic. For the full version, see here. Here’s a snippet of his plan:

The final season of LOST as seen by someone who has never seen LOST is awesome. This guy’s point of view is pretty spot on. This last season is quite mismashed, with plots being thrown in left and right. Supposedly, this is all the guy knew before beginning this quest.

A plane crashed and now all these people are LOST on a deserted (yum!) island.

“Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”

When Madewell hit The Domain in Austin I was ecstatic. Then I graduated. And then Brooke and I drove halfway across the country back to Cali. Goodbye Madewell. If I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure Madewell offered a discount to college students. Amazing and so smart. While Madewell offers a few bits and pieces on Shopbop, you cannot buy directly off their website. So unfortunate. As a...
