Welcome

So my old blog it seems vanished into thin air when I deleted my old hotmail address, alas it seems to be the price of growing up. So welcome, advanced warning, I'm opinionated...about everything, I'm sure I drive my wife crazy but such is life.

How about a little about myself. I'm a happily married father of an amazing little girl, hoping for a little boy in a year or two. I work with people for too little money. I'm pretty much your typical man, sports, cars, tools, bla bla bla. But beyond that, I care about my clothes, and go as far as to say I have a 'style' but not so far as to say I'm a 'fashionable' male. I believe a man needs more then just a bar of soap to keep himself properly groomed. More on this later, including a detailed list of what I use and why, plus a fantastic rant on the ridiculous terms 'metrosexual' and 'manscaping'.

Ok, lets be open and put this out there as well. I'm a Christian, I believe in Jesus, and go to church basically every Sunday. I try to filter my entire life through the picture I have of Jesus as depicted in scripture, and I have to say I'm frequently disappointed with how often that doesn't line up with how my fellow Christians act in the world. Again, more on this later, I just wanted to get it out there to be as open as possible, but most of all to inform you that while I do expect to have some posts that will reference my faith, and, probably a couple 100% about that, I want you to know that if you do read this blog I promise I won't preach at you.

So what can you expect? First expect me to call each entry into my 'blog' either an 'entry' or a 'column' I hate the term 'blog' and will not be using it from now on. Second, expect columns about life, current events, celebrity stuff, sports, music (I love music), being a better man, better dressed, better groomed, better read, just better. Stay tuned for my next entry "Simple Rules to Live By"

Thanks for reading.
