Introducing the Modern Man

The time it takes for one to realize who he or she really "is" can take anywhere from one second to one lifetime. Sometimes this realization never occurs at all. However, it seems to be evident in our modern world today, that we all strive for a certain understanding of who and what we are, and why we were put here. To find comfort in a chosen identity means a number of things. Sometimes (most of the times) people go through many identity changes until they find that perfect role and they can finally say "I'm happy about who I am." This happens in high school a lot. I'll never forget it. High school was the only setting where I can remember seeing a white dude wearing Timberlands and baggy jeans, talking about the latest Wu-Tang album, "Wu-Tang Forever," and using words like, " whaddup son," and "that shit is dope kid." The very next day, the same guy would be wearing over-sized Jnco jeans, a chain wallet, and a Marilyn Manson T-shirt swearing his parents are going to be getting separated soon, so total anarchy is the only safe bet.

High school was amazing for this. Even I fell powerless to the gods of popular culture and I made it a point to do whatever it took to fit in. The amount of Abercrombie T-shirts and J-Crew sweaters that were given away to Goodwill makes me want to vomit. However, there is something to be said about what high school taught us. That is, no one finds their true identity in times of utter disaster. Only when you are free from judgment, can you find that sense of cohesiveness you always looked for growing up. This usually occurs after college... when you have no time to think about anything and you work a lot, play a little, and for the first time in your life actually have some rational thoughts. This may not apply to everyone, but for most of us out there who are always searching for something more... I'll give you some advice. There is nothing more. What you search for lies in this moment right now. If you are reading this right now, it is possible your life is changing for the better. On the flipside, this blog may make you dumber than you were before. Either way, my intentions are to make you laugh, cry, love, and hate. I want to stir up emotions you thought you never had, so you don't have to be afraid of change.

I seem to change every 3 years or so. I change my thoughts on life, my thoughts on love, and my thoughts on fashion. More importantly, I have not lived in the same location either for more than 3 years. I get bored easily and the unknown makes me smile. I will let you into my head based on one condition: THAT YOU MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER PERSON AFTER READING MY BLOGS. That's it... very simple, I think.

This will give insight into the mind of the modern man. I will write about different things, including reviews on the best male body wash or how to spend your money foolishly (both of which I know very well). I will argue and sometimes agree with decision makers. I will talk about back pain and why penguins are awesome. Essentially, these are essays on the absurdity of reality. Don't fasten your seat-belt... a fine red wine will come in handy now and then. Now introducing... The Mind of The Modern Man.
