He-MAN and the Masters of the Universe

Nothing could be more manly than this Man. He's shirtless and has a battle cat.

"Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword and said, 'By the power of grey skull, I have the power!' "

Let those with swords have the power.

A tragedy beyond measure

Prior to stumbling upon this article I failed to understand the impact that a fallen economy can have on mankind. Sure, I've seen those closest to me struggle to find work. Yes, I've personally seen investments reduced to pennies. Even now I find myself staring at the foliage filled effigy of our president backed by an American flag on the front of a Chia Obama package asking, "When will we rise to where we once were?"
Then I read about a man who knows a thing or two about rising high and his individual struggle to find work. Just remember, you're not alone in this recession. While we all feel its effects, we each have something to be proud of and that alone should cause us as a nation of men to stand tall and firm in our resolve to grow from this experience.

Be a Better Man in 30 Days

In June, our friends over at The Art of Manliness published their "30 Days to a Better Man" and I thought you'd be interested in what they had to say.

Some of my personal faves:

#2) Shine your Shoes

#13) Declutter your Life

#18) "Find your N.U.T.s" (a.k.a. your "Non-Negotiable, Unalterable Terms")

#30) Get a Straight Razor Shave

Even implementing a few of these will certainly increase your manliness and make you a better man to be around. And isn't that what the Manblog is really all about?

Check out all of 30 of their suggestions here.
