Guy Movie of 2012

I’m making an early prediction. Safe House with Denzel Washington will be as good as Training Day, which in my opinion is one of the best manly movies since the year 2000 hit. Sure I may be biased. After all, DW is my favorite actor. But this is the character he plays best. The villain that guys admire.

I’m so confident in this release, I’m seeing it on my birthday. Typically my birthday is practically a national holiday (kidding) but that will have to pause for this movie. Here’s the trailer

Men and Video Games

Listen, I love video games as much as the next guy, but I’m a 40 year old voice actor and producer who travels all over the country. I genuinely don’t have time to play games. So this made me wonder. Does; grown man + video games= unsuccessful? Seriously, if I put a lot off time into playing it would take away from the time I spend making money. I’d like to see a study about men who spend hours a day playing and what their median income is.

Then my question would be; Could you take someone who puts a lot of time and effort into being great at any one video game, and transfer that same energy into being successful in some other way that pays a high income? Or better yet, can someone with an intense love of video games figure out a way to make money with that passion?

I think this is something younger men have to truly ponder. We’ve become a digital society, and more time is spent playing video games than ever. This could be a problem. Unless the younger generations translate this into income, we could be looking at the most unsuccessful generations in our history.

My game, when I find time to play, is Assassin’s Creed Revelations.

Dressing Down With Tattoos

Ah, I received a few emails about my post on Florence as opposed to New York.  I should be more clear. I’m not saying you can’t dress down and still look fashionable. Of course. We can’t dress in suits all all day every day. Dressing “down” so to speak, can still look great. Once you figure out your style, casual clothes can say a lot about a man.

I believe no matter what shape and size you are, you can find the look that you’re comfortable in, and people dig.
