Back and Better Than Ever
Hey everyone!
I know it has been a couple months since my last post, and I apologize for that. I have gotten so busy and distracted by other things. I have recently gone through some serious life changes.

Surround yourself with people that make you better. No matter who you are there will be people who try to bring you down and downplay your dreams. With encouraging friends, nothing can hold you back.

A couple days ago I went on a casual dinner date. We had a good time just talking and having dinner. So as we’re going up to pay, I told the cashier I had both her & my meals. She was shocked saying she never had anyone pay for her meal before. The cashier said there’s still good men out there….

Temptation
I know many people will see the subject of this post and scroll on to my next one. No one likes to hear about facing temptation or conquering it because that requires change. A change among actions in our every day weaknesses that constantly control us. Personally, I know what my biggest temptations are and which ones seem impossible to overcome.

Man Up
Be the man you want your daughter to marry.
Treat her how you’d want someone to treat your mother.
Never say another guy is “cute” then say “no homo”.
Don’t be a wuss, if you feel a certain way let her know.
If you give her the title then treat her appropriately.
NEVER lay your…

Gentleman Rule of the Day #10
I believe one of the key values a gentleman holds is his ability to reserve judgement of those he comes in contact with. A true gentleman accepts others as they are and looks inward for their character and morals.
