FAIL

Fail
I failed straight up, I don’t know any other way to put it. On January 1st, 2009 I typed out my goals, personal, professional, and athletically. One of those goals was to run 3 miles for 30 consecutive games, I made it to 13. I am very disappointed in myself, mostly because I know I could have done it. I carry a little too much weight to do it, and my lower body aches after about 5 days of running.
In 2010 I will lose 10 pounds, run 3 miles a day for 30 days in a row, run 100 miles in one week, and run in a half marathon.

UAH Football

Open letter to the UAH athletic director

Idea: Hire Bobby Bowden to start The UAH football program

Why it would work and benefit the University: It instantly produces more national attention for the University than anything academically or athletically could (I.E. USA Today, ESPN, and PTI). Bobby would be cheap and could easily raise the money to pay for his own salary and the entire football program. His mere appearance would raise the quality of the entire Athletic Department’s ability to recruit. This hiring would also give the football program and uncommon head start for newly created programs.

Why it would benefit Bobby: He has stated that he believes after retirement comes death. Alabama is his home state, and his son coaches UNA. He will have no expectations of any kind. He gets to be intellectually stimulated until he chooses.

Why it benefits you: Your career will be instantly elevated.

Thank you, Robert Daniel Wise

Juelz Santana: Mixing Up The Medicine

Sporting Heros: Dhani Jones

From Men's Journal

The Cincinnati Bengals linebacker and star of Dhani Tackles the Globe takes us into his world.
Interviewed by Sean Cunningham


Belt
I wear a tarantula belt all the time. I got it at a belt and bag store on Bleecker Street in New York City; two years ago, there was a shooting on Bleecker, and Brandon Short of the Giants hid in that store. If there was a spider crawling on your shoulder, regardless of how big and strong you are, I’m pretty sure you’d be — pardon my English — screaming like a bitch. I would be, too. But in Cambodia the kids carry tarantulas around in their pockets. It’s just part of their culture.
Drink
I met this master of vodka when I was in St. Petersburg, Russia, who made this 120-proof homemade vodka. We drank the whole bottle. Its smell is very pungent, but on your tongue it’s very smooth — then there’s an eventual kick that hits you in the neck.

Outfit
Black jeans. Black Chuck Taylors. Black T-shirt. I like a basic uniform for guys. Steve Jobs is my fashion icon, because he wears the same outfit every day. If you always wear the same thing, you make a statement. Then put a bow tie on and -really stand out.
Accessory
When you wear a bow tie, doors open for you. Your posture is a little more erect; your shoulders are a little further back; your style is a little more dynamic. It’s about the reestablishment of the gentleman.
Photographer
I love looking at Marc Baptiste’s nudes. Nudes aren’t pornographic; they’re the ultimate expression of people. A nude can be so vulnerable, but Helmut Newton’s six-foot-tall nude women look so powerful, like Valkyries. It’s all in the way you present it.
Wheels
The Aston Martin 1964 DB5 that James Bond drove in Goldfinger. But seeing as I will be the first black James Bond, and I’ve moved to Morgans, I’m looking forward to receiving my Aero SuperSports and using it one day for a film.
Athletic hero
Paul Robeson was an athlete, Rutgers valedictorian, lawyer, writer, actor in movies and plays, great voice — a black male doing it all, back when some people thought he shouldn’t. One reason I do all the things I do is to break stereotypes that people can only do certain things.

Sport
America’s Cup racing. (1) It incorporates traveling. (2) It incorporates my love of the water. (3) I can keep doing it when I’m 50. When I get old, I’d love to be a deckhand on someone’s boat for two or three years. I’ll handle the sails, make the beds, scrub the floors, anything. I’m a collaborator; I’m not a guy who thinks I can do everything myself. As a grinder, you’re basically the engine.
Camera
I love photography, and the Nikon EM I started out with is probably my favorite. That was the one I used to take my baby pictures.
Wings
I’d love to own a PC-12. It’s a versatile plane that can go anywhere — high altitude, short runways — and it’s a turbo prop, so it uses less fuel. I’m working on my pilot’s license. I just love the adventure of flying. In the off-season I spend more time on an airplane than in my house.
Book
We don’t devote enough attention to the mind. It’s the most important thing in life, the center of all actions. My dad gave me Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl when I was in 10th grade, and it affected my understanding of life, my attempts to reach self-actualization. The intellectual connection my father and I have allows for a certain creative interaction, whether it’s in person or over the phone late at night.
Song
Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” is my ultimate karaoke song. It is a wonderful world. People forget we only have a certain amount of time, and it can all end at any moment. Armstrong and Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” are the ultimate one-two punch.
Movie
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption. There’s one line that will stay with me forever: “Some birds aren’t meant to be caged; their feathers are just too bright.” I don’t want to be put in some box. I want to spread my wings, so I can look back on life and say, “That was a good run.”
Transportation
I always ride my fixed-gear Giant Bowery ’72 to practice. It’s all about being outside in the elements and clearing your head. All of my teammates used to make fun of me. One guy challenged me that I wouldn’t do it in cold weather. I proved him wrong.
Comfort food
Popeyes chicken, white, spicy, with red beans and rice and a lemonade. Aw, man — nothing beats that. I’m quite healthy and I don’t eat a lot of fried food, but I have Popeyes when I want to reward myself. I should go get some right now.
Philosophy
Carpe diem. Live this moment without flinching, live this second without wincing, live this year in its presences, and just be.

Home
I have a simple house in San Diego, two bedrooms. The unique part is that none of the rooms are closed off — they have partial walls. I’m not into big houses because life is meant to be lived outside. Plus I have stone steps down to the beach — who could argue with that? I’m a man of style, so I put on my best Matuse wetsuit and I’m ready to surf

Miami

Dear, Miami
From the moment I saw you from my window seat I was awash with happiness. When I first ran your beach I felt stronger. When I laid eyes on your architecture I was inspired.
The scents that feel my nose when I am with you peak my interest. Your night skies were made to make love under. Your tasty foods were cooked to please the stomach. Your sunshine makes my cloths sparkle.
I have heard your sounds, felt your breezes, and received the touch of your women. There is no one else like you.
Miami I love you.

BEST DOGS FOR RUNNERS

The September 2009 issue of Men’s Journal featured a men’s buyer guide to choosing and purchasing a dog. Included in the buyers guide was a breakdown of what breeds make the best running partners, this of course caught my intention.

****
Here’s there breakdown in no particular order

1. The Schipperke


Bred as a watch dog, good in small spaces, loves killing rats, and needs more training than most dogs.

2. The Australian Shepherd


Bred as a herder, eager, and needs agility training.

3. The Blue Heeler


Needs to be ran, rugged coat, and nippy without training.

****

I hope this helps someone out there make a wise choice.
Here is my running partner



He last about a ½ mile.

Crazy

Crazy
Never call someone crazy. Calling someone crazy is the same as calling someone the n word. Crazy? That’s offal dismissive.

If you don’t understand someone or something, crazy is not the answer. In the same when you don’t understand the sensibilities of an African Americans or a group of African Americans the N word is not the answer.

You don’t understand this person so there crazy?

Ivy Styles Open Letter To Khaki makers,

I personally don't want khakis with a buckle in the back but I agree with parts of this.


Dear Maker of Khakis:

It has come to my attention that a number of designers, executives and creative directors in the apparel industry read this blog. Therefore I’d like to address you directly with an idea for how to get a quick sales spike this fall with an otherwise quotidian commodity item like khakis.

Put a buckle in the back.

Sometime around 1956, khakis with a buckle in the back became a huge trend among the young and collegiate. A useless and trifling furbelow, the buckled khaki hit the market like a starting pistol launching young men in a race to be the first on their block with a pair.

Buckled chinos (or Heiney Binders, or whatever you decide to call them) have come up in my interview with Bruce Boyer, and most recently in the J. Press interview and “Tea and Sympathy” posts below. An old discussion of back buckles was also recently resuscitated on Andy’s Trad Forum.

Designers, manufacturers, retailers: The American man has spoken, and he wants to see the return of khakis with a buckle in the back. Will he pay $10 more for it? Of course he will: Fashion demands it, and fashion is a tyrant.

You don’t even need to alter the pattern of the ones you’re already making. Simply have your patternmaker create the specs for the buckle and tab and e-mail it to your factory. Approve the sample ASAP (no need for a hard sample for such a small addition; just approve the 3-D virtual sample), and you can have buckled chinos in stores this fall accompanied by marketing fanfare.

Do it today. It’ll be good for America.

Cordially,

Christian Chensvold

PS: And now an open post-script to readers: Use the leave-comment feature to put the following companies in the order in which you think they will bring out khakis with a buckle in the back. You can put them in three categories: Yes, before Christmas; Yes, but next spring, or No, will not introduce them before next spring. If you’re right, I’ll personally make sure you get a pair.

a) Brooks Brothers

b) Ralph Lauren

c) LL Bean

d) J. Crew

e) The Gap

f) Lands’ End

g) Dockers

h) Abercrombie & Fitch

i) Orvis

j) Old Navy

k) Uniqlo

l) Target
