The Man Post #1

Welcome to a new series of posts I will be doing titled The Man Post. I will be covering all things that are considered “manly”.  Manly is an adjective corresponding to manliness, manhood or masculinity—embodying the essence of being a man. Every picture will have link on it, so all you have to do is click the picture to go to the website.

I will be starting out with one thing that all men love… beer. I introduce you to the beer wheel. If you feel the need to have this spice up you bar/man area click on the picture and buy it.

This is awesome… every beer drinking man should have one.

I am a big fan of digg and they came out with their own bottle opener.

Potato guns are great especially when demonstrated by women. No disrespect to the ladies just thought this was funny.

Want to make your own potato guns check out these sites.

Instructables.com (search for potato gun)

A kick ass poato gun!

Bacon floss… I immediately thought of my friend Josh Emerson when I saw this. He loves bacon. I am not sure if he loves to floss but if he does this is the product for him.

This concludes the first Man Post. Hope it made you laugh a little bit. I already have content for the 2nd episode of The Man Post, so stay tuned

Coffee Shop and Basketball Game

Went to my nieces basketball game and I thought it would be a perfect time to try and catch some motion shots. First I went to my favorite coffee shop Reality Tuesday Cafe. I don’t even like coffee but I love this place.

As I was writing this I came across these pics of when I use to play in a band. We played quite a few gigs at Reality Tuesday Cafe.

One of my favorite drinks… a vanilla steamer. They also have invented a few drinks that I love called “The Grasshopper”, its awesome.

A picture from my seat.

I am supposed to be not eating as much sweets since the Holidays wrecked me in that area. But this chocolate cake was beckoning me from the display.

That is my niece Sarah getting stuffed… stuffed really good too. Sorry Sarah, I still love you even though you got the smack down on you.

Sarah either shooting the ball or going for a rebound.

Sarah taking a shot.

Another motion shot. These are the first time I have taken any motion shots. It was tricky to get. Most of the shots turned out grainy since I had my iso cranked up.

Amie driving the lane.

Sarah, I think she was embarrassed that I was taking pictures of her.

The final score… we won!

Prayer at the end of the game.

Early Morning Snapshots

The reason for this post is because I can’t sleep. I am trying to shock myself into a somewhat normal sleeping pattern. It probably won’t work since I will probably crash at some point during the day.

The sunrise… I don’t get to see the sunrise that often. I was also using some photoshop actions <— click here, that I got from Pioneer Woman. My whole idea behind these pictures was to make the blues really stand out.

The best game of around the world was created on this court with my best friend Clayton, its 18 holes (shots) we are golf nuts! The last 2 holes are from the deck. I always win cause I am better then Clayton.

This is also where Donny Smith delivered  a royal beat down in a game of 21.

I love my baskeball court. So many memories. This is where my Dad showed my how to play the game of baskeball. We would spend hours out here playing horse, around the world and one on one. I hope to be able to do the same with my son someday on this same court.

And now I leave you with this message from Chuck Norris.

I had to post this as a tribute to Jim Gaffigan…one of my favorite comedians.

the doughnut ham hamburger… I think if I ate this I would go into cardiac arrest.

Here are some of my favorite Jim Gaffigan Clips.

This is a audio clip of some lady who is a christian who is offended at Jim Gaffigan’s stand up on religion. No wonder the world thinks christians are douche bags.
