"I never trust people with no appetite. It's like they're always holding something back on you, don't you think?"

Fetching
"Some guys will like the cookie cutter idea of sexy. Some will think
sexy is you barefoot and natural. Some guys find the fact that you wear
those bike shorts under your vintage dresses sexy. That you try to
covertly burp alone, away from everyone but get overheard is the cutest
thing ever. Tomato, Tomato. To each their own.
I mean, my definition of a “sexy” man ranges. Activities that men do that are sexy to me. Sexy is appeal. It is a moment captured when you would like to jump a person’s bones because you are overcome with the overwhelming urge to. If your book shelf gets a lady’s motor revving, heck more power to you. Maybe it’s the way your mouth hitches, or the way your hands move. The way you walk. The way you prepare eggs in the morning. The way you scratch your morning beard. It’s the fact you can have me laughing into the pillow at 6am on a Wednesday morning. That’s what is sexy to me. Not 5 inch heels and rhinestone corsets, or a ripped bod.
I just know that beauty products are not fail proof, that our asses sag, that styles go in and out, and our skin wrinkles. However, a great sense of humor will only get better with age, like life in general."

Egg head
My shadow draws a circle on the ground with his boot.
"The Town is sealed," he states, "like this. That's why the longer you stay in here, the more you get to thinking that things are normal. You begin to doubt your judgment. You get what I'm saying?"
"Yes, I've felt that myself. I get so confused. Sometimes it seems I'm the cause of a lot of trouble."
"It's not that way at all," says my shadow, scratching a meandering pattern next to the circle. "We're the ones who are right. They're the ones who are wrong, absolutely. You have to believe that, while you still have the strength to believe. Or else the Town will swallow you, mind and all."

Modern Maturity: Create More, Consume Less
"I’ve taken some flack for being too hard on video gamers. In truth, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playing an occasional video game. The reason I frequently mention video games in connection with the problem of arrested manhood, is not the games themselves, but what they symbolize.
Whereas men once fought as soldiers, they now pretend to be ones. Where men used to play baseball and football, they now control avatars who play for them. Where men used to play an instrument, they now press buttons on a plastic toy. Where we once created, we now consume...
... The labor one performs transforms something in the environment, which in turn transforms you. The act of creation shapes you as a man, refines your sensibilities, improves your strengths, hones your concentration, and builds your character. Passive consumption leaves you untouched and unchanged. Consumptions breeds indifference; creation begets empowerment...
...Growing up doesn’t have to mean donning a gray flannel suit. It really means taking an active role in the world instead of a passive one. Making an impact. And creating your world instead of consuming it."

Spring at Le Bal Café
"The dishes at le Bal Café are resolutely unfussy, the food piled on the plate without any ceremony, but the flavors are so deeply satisfying, that at the end of the meal you don’t just feel full, you feel nourished."
Remember... Not just full, but nourished.
