Little Brother!

Well, good news! Jake my little brother is visiting me at State! WOO HOO! He is going to go to class with me, hang out, it's gonna be GREAT! For those who do not know my little brother, he is pretty much me, except a freshman in highschool. He is one of few people who like dogs as much as me! He is really happy to be here too ... we have class at 8:30 AM! That will be fun.

Currently, Jake is watching MacGyver. MacGyver couldn't be a better example of an all around Man's Man plus many more benefits that the average buff coolguy doesn't have. I have compiled a list of the reasons MacGyver is better than Chuck Norris. Therefore, he is the ultimate Man.

1. He blows stuff up. Not only does he use C4 and dynamite, he can pretty much us anything.
2. He is athletic. He is always climbing mountains, hiking, playing hockey etc. He is an outdoorsman.
3. He gets the girl. Every man's man has to get the girl.

Those are the reason's that he measures up to the average buff coolguy. Now these are the reasons that put him over the top as the ultimate Man's Man.

4. He is BRILLIANT. Find a guy with the qualities above that knows that does not carry a gun, rather he uses other things to create weapons or ways to get out of danger.
5. He is one of the only guys that still looks good with a mullet.
6. He wears Nike Hightops. No classy business suit, no expensive designer clothes, just good 'ole jeans and Nikes.
7. He is only known as MacGyver. Does anyone know his first name? I mean, James Bond tries to be this cool, but ends up having to say his first name and then his last name again! "Bond, James Bond"
8. He doesn't need high tech gadgets, all he needs is a Swiss Army knife and Duct tape. Anything else he needs he will just find along the way.
9. He lives on a BOAT!
10. He is always helping someone. He doesn't end up rich or famous, just helps somebody.

If that isn't enough to convince you, I don't know what you need. If you haven't seen MacGyver, look it up. The episodes are online, you'll be hooked, just like I am!

Broke Down

It's true, I finally broke down a created a blog. Everyone has something to say about everything, so I might as well throw in my two cents as well. Now, I'm not promising that this is going to be good. I know for a fact that most of the time it won't even be gramatically correct. The one thing this blog will be is real life. I'm not the most creative person in the world, actually, I'm really not creative at all. You may be wondering about the title of this blog - A Fistful of Real Life. Some people, now I'm not naming names .... CHRISTINE! CARLY! ..... are into the deep meaning of the title of a work. I don't blame you guys (girls), in fact, I really admire it! I wish I could make a really deep title that was catchy, deep, and entertaining. But that is where my lack of creativity comes in. A Fistful of Real Life is exactly that - its a handful of what I have to say - not watered down, not censored - just truth about how I feel. I might offend some people, that is not my intention, and I apologize in advance. I am just throwing into the ethos (those of you who know the joke will get it) my opinion on life. Plus, A Fistful of Real Life just sounds cool and manly. Isn't that what all guys who start a blog need to do, make a title that is manly so that it overcompensates for the girliness of having a blog? A guy can't just make a blog titled, "My Journal" or "Life through the eyes of a humble traveler" without a man putting him in his place! So, while I am very comfortable with my manhood, I am making a MANLY title for my blog so that all who read it are aware that just because I am putting my thoughts down does not mean I am a girly man who is all about feelings. So there it is. I have a blog - for one more inside joke - OOPS! I blogged!
