I found a perfect shirt recently by Steven Alan.
These awesome bookcases were featured in the February issue of Dwell. They are from a Paris apartment. They are just awesome and would be great for any room. We’ll not my tiny room in New York, but most rooms.
As many people are off work and have some time to reflect on the progress of our nation we also have the ability to focus on the needs of our country as well. We are in the middle of an economic depression and from what I can tell there is not sign of a turn around. It is time to focus on what can bring us forward.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who saw the future and was unwilling to accept the present. His strength and fortitude is one to admire. How can you interpret his principles in your own life. How can you be a leader in your group or find something that is a passion that you can fight for? Mark Luther King Day is a day for me to think about what I should be doing and how I can do it.
I was recently rushing out to work when I realized I have no idea what I wear every day. I kind of just throw some clothes on close my eyes and hope no one stares. One of my resolutions this year was to dress more professionally and make an effort. So far I have pretty much just worn out my Sunday clothes. I have not worn jeans to work, but I am already bored and don’t know what to do. What is the perfect button down shirt? I don’t want something that makes me look like a box. What about the best pants that I can throw off and they won’t wrinkle?
Women have a ton of makeover shows and guys are just let to figure it out I guess. I have not been happy with Banana Republic’s clothes and most of the time Brooks Brothers is too much like my dad’s store. I don’t know how to find the right combination. Any suggestions?
Walk the Line is a fantastic movie about Johnny and Rosanne Cash. The style throughout the movie is perfect and reminds me that having well kept hair is something to be admired.

Channing Tatum is interviewed in Detail Magazine describing every man’s nightmare, but it has a great ending.
He had been shooting the drama The Eagle of the Ninth last October in the freezing cold Scottish Highlands.
“The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your suit,” Tatum, 29, tells the magazine. “We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I’m like, Nah, I’m good. And then I thought, Why not?
“Thing is, he’d forgotten to dilute the kettle water,” he continues. “So he poured scalding water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much burned the skin off the head of my dick.”
He was rushed to the nearest hospital — an hour away. On the way, however, the ice pack he was applying to the burn lost its chill.
“I said to the driver, who was ex-special-forces Marines, ‘You might have to knock me out, because I don’t know if I can take the pain. Just grab something and hit me on the back of my head,'” he recalls.
Morphine eventually did the trick, he says, but it was still embarrassing.
“I had five guys looking at my shriveled, burned penis,” he says.
Looking back, he says, “It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life.”
Rest assured, “I’m good . . . now,” says Tatum, a former stripper. “Now my penis is fantastic! One hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach.”
So with the new year and resolutions I have decided to try to step up my dress game. I have gone to the usual places, but am still searching for a perfect dress shirt. I put on Brook Brothers shirts and they all seem to look like they were made for my father. They are boxy and not trim. I then go to Banana Republic and the shirts just don’t seem like high quality and then some of them look like I am going out to a disco.
I want a shirt that does not make me look bigger but that I can wear to the office and feel comfortable in. I have found a couple of places that work on custom shirts. I have never thought about a custom shirt or what I would want from a shirt. I have started to look at all the differences and choices and realized maybe I need to figure out what I want from a shirt first. Here is my criteria so far.
I stumbled upon Alexander West here in New York. I am running into the city this afternoon for some errands and think I will stop by and see what my options are. It seems crazy to pay over $100.00 for a dress shirt, but then I think about how much I would actually wear the shirt and what my other alternatives are. I would love to hear from someone who has tried custom shirts. Here is a picture of my thought.
Our current obsession is our new citizen watch we bought from Amazon.com. It is sporty but can be worn in most offices.
I have recently moved and am still sleeping on an air mattress. Yeah I know, I am just that great. The room I am in is too small for the double bed that I currently have. I have been looking for a good storage solution and have found the best bookcase for my room. It is the CB2 Array. There are several retailers that carry a similar bookcase. It is a modern look, but has a great amount of storage and can fit anywhere.
