Back to Basics

About a week ago I was reminded of what makes a true man tick. Thanks to a good friend of mine I was able to go back to the basics of man hood. If your confused you havn't had a good project to work on in a while.

I was able to help take apart a old Chrysler New Yorker. We took the windows out, ripped all the crome off the car and ripped out the seats. The best part was the dirt, sweat, and all of the grunting that was involved. While trying to rip out the back seat I think that just about popped a couple of veins from using pure brute strenth to rip the once cozy seat from it's resting place.

When the sun was just about gone down I looked at myself and couldn't help but notice that after some good physical manual labor that I had earned at least 2 extra man points for the day. Just before we got in the car to go home I stood there with my hands at my side, the last bits of day light barely able to glisten off of the sweat that ran down my greasy and dirt covered arms. A truely satisfied feeling came over me as I realized how important it is to revert back to basics once in a while and let yourself be a man.

Sorry that I don't have any pictures of the truely magnanimus scene that transpired that day.

Rad. Nothing like tearing apart a Chrysler to make you feel more like a man. Good stuff. Of Course, there are some Chryslers I could tear apart just using words composed on this very keyboard. Hmmm... congrats on still being a man. Not that I was worried or anything, but you know what I mean.

Now you know why I still hang on to the whole I'm a Cowboy thing... Being a man takes lots of work, and luckily there is a lot of work out there to be done. PS Did you hear Kinkin is getting hitched?
