Long ago I had thrifted a pair of boots for 9 bucks, I have been working on them for about a year or so, it was mostly just me trying to decide to whether to dye the boots black or oxblood, after finally deciding and finding a spot that won't stain anything, I finally painted and shined my boots, I would have liked the oxblood to be a bit darker but I think I did a nice job on them. Below are the boots when I first got them and when I finally finished them, I try to keep the half heel but sadly I wasn't able too.

Sometimes I wonder if its worth mentioning a few of my favorite books since they are just short stories, for example, "The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell" which only has less then 30 pages and if the type of book would even be acknowledge, since some have more images then words like mangas and graphic novels, for example my favorite manga is a short one called "Deadman's Questions By Hirohiko Araki" sadly prints are of it rare to find as it was in a magazine/ complied with two other short stories, also not to mention finding accurate English translation. But what are you'r thoughts? should short stories be worth mentioning in favorite books list or in a separate category of their own?

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have an official website for the Society. The web address is www.beagentleman.org

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, As I like to reflect on my journey, my life, and what I see others doing with their lives, I begin to relate to other’s struggles, the pain, the hurt, the desire to being someone or to reach something. And one of the biggest challenges is people who don’t understand your plight, your struggles, and in relationships this is so very real. This is basically for women that are in relationships, but also for the gentlemen that feel trapped, or struggling to just make through another day. What do I wish women understood about men fine I’ll say it bluntly, men are fighting wars in their heads every day and most of you have no idea. He’s stressed, overwhelmed exhausted, and still trying to hold everything together because he knows if he cracks even once you’ll judge him for it, he doesn’t open up because every time a man does or he gets labeled weak, dramatic or not mad enough so he shuts up he bottles everything. He carries the weight alone because he learned the hard way that nobody cares about a man’s feelings until he’s broken. You think he’s quiet. He’s drowning you think he’s distant. He’s overloaded. You think he doesn’t feel he feels too damn much. He just isn’t allowed to show it. Most men are walking around with pain so heavy you couldn’t carry it for 10 minutes, but he carries it every day without complaining without crying without asking for help because he knows no one is coming. That’s what I wish. Women understood men are not cold. They’re bleeding silently. They’re just tired, tired of being punished. To the gentlemen reading this we see you, you are not alone in this struggle. To the ladies, try to understand the struggle these gentlemen face daily in work, at home, in the community you reside in. Just because they might not make the money you expect them to make, or they are not at home as much as you want them to be because they are working overtime, second jobs to provide, give them a break let them know you see them, you appreciate them, and most of all you are there for them.

You know how they say some things are like a bicycle and you and you don't forget? Well, I guess that is not the case with a safety razor. I started using a safety razor and got used to using it with no nicks, and then I grew a beard for a couple of months. When I shaved it off I have noticed that it's almost like starting over again. These last two times I have shaved, I have nicked myself. Is this just me or has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal?
