Gone Again
Alright ladies, I think it’s time we set the record straight. As rough and tough as men pretend to be most of the time, there is a side that often times, is not seen by the fairer sex. Now I’ll admit that more often than not men will disappear on women, but every so often us brutes find ourselves alone. Day after day, night after night we spend quality time with someone who means the most to us and then, without warning, there is a sudden “attack of conscious” and we are left alone. There is no rhyme or reason usually, just a need to be alone.
So what happens now? We are told to swallow our pride and forget that whatever had happened before whether it was serious or not and continue on with my life. Whats worse is that our daily/weekly activities that perhaps we had with that person are now things that I should pretend are no longer mine. A feeling of emptiness comes over me every time I step foot into a restaurant that I had eaten at or a song we had listened to or when they wrote about how they I made a new city feel like home. There is a reason that people share interests, moments, and time together. We find people that we understand and can communicate with in an intelligent manner. I enjoy an intelligent conversation and that can handle how much of a nerd I can be while still being able to appreciate all the little things I love about her.
I will never understand the female mind and all it’s needs and wants, but I think that’s what I actually love most. Most of my life I have pursued things I haven’t fully understood to understand them more completely. Each step time I have given myself a bigger challenge. What is it ladies? What is it with the volatile nature of the female mind?
This is the first question of many.

Do Yourself A Favor & Dress Your Age
One of my biggest pet peeves is when Men/Women do not dress appropriately for their job. This phenomenon is especially common in Men. Also, I’ve observed that if you dress even semi-well on the weekend, that is apparently a sure sign that you’re gay. Living in the Bay Area has opened my eyes to how bad recent college grads and other lazy genres of Men dress.
It’s truly not that hard to dress well, (or should I say at least acceptable,) nor does is have to be expensive.
Here are some basic points for not looking like a 22 year old from Aurora in the office:
Shoes: Something very simple and classic; a black oxford or wingtip will do the trick. NO square toed shoes.
Socks: I usually follow that your shoes should be the darkest piece, then your socks, then your pants. If you have smaller legs or hate your socks falling down, get over-the-calf socks. Gold Toes are great in black.
Pants/Slacks: Something that fits; when you stand up hits the top of your shoes, not the bottom! Also, the actual fit of the pants varies by your comfort level, but no boot-cut or flare pants. Straight or slightly tapered will always be in style.
Shirts: This is even easier, go get MEASURED. It’s easy and free! By far the best/easiest shirts I own are Brooks Brother’s Slim Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirts. Finish with a tie; simple is always a safe bet.
Coats: This definitely has quite a few more choices depending on the weather; none of which are your four year old Columbia or North Face jacket! It’s quite easy when you think about it; dress for the weather.
Spring/Rain = Trench coat. (Khaki, Black)
Winter = Top/Over Coat. (Dark Blue,Charcoal, Black)
Summer = Sport coat, blazer, or maybe even a vest or something. (Match)
That’s it…If you need further explanation, comment away…
