In my opinion, especially in a work environment, men should never buy cheap shoes, because you really do get what you pay for. I blew through 2 pair of Cole Haans in a summer (yes, Cole Haan is cheap quality now) and have since switched strictly to Allen Edmonds. The initial price tag can be scary, but you’ll thank yourself in 10 years when you’re still wearing the same pair of shoes. $380 up front sure beats $150 every 2 years.
Never be cheap on items that separate you from the ground (shoes, bed, tires, etc). The extra money is worth it, even on our small post grad budgets.
A few years back, brought home “the girl I used to date” on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. All was going well, thought it would be an interesting time. As soon as she gets into my room and takes her shirt off, she throws up all over the carpet, almost immediately sobers up, and begins to lecture me about how I need to treat her like a friend at the moment who needs help cleaning up.
Needless to say, nothing happened, and I had to lie to my mother and tell her I threw up on the carpet and left a large stain. Moral of the story, probably not a good idea to try and rekindle.
Wonderful read. I’ve found that you’ll never be content if you have an internal list of qualifications for a potential partner, because no one is perfect, and no one can check all the boxes. For 2 years after college I was single, and had an internal list of what I wanted from someone. Looking back now, this list is what kept me from opening myself up to anyone. I could always find some small “flaw” that would turn me off to anyone potential mate.
I say ditch the list of surface level qualities and characteristics and be open to others. As I have experienced, you may meet someone who checks the boxes you didn’t even know you had on your “list”.
Speith made over a million bucks this weekend playing a game. Definitely worse than my crippling hangover on Saturday, I am sure he would gladly trade places with me.
I generally think big game hunting is a ridiculous sport, but I actually feel kinda bad for this guy. Lions are probably hunted a lot more than most realize, and he just happened to shoot the most notable lion in all of Africa. This guys life is effectively over for the time being until the media finds some other ridiculous story to cover.
With the exception of 10-8, I’d happily live in any of these cities. I don’t know anyone in the top 7 cities that don’t love it. If these cities suck, I’d love to see a list of “great cities” from the author.
Minnesotan here, this will sell. This Bloody Mary is tame compared to some others around Minneapolis, most notably one that comes with a mini cheeseburger. As is standard in Minnesota (and some other parts of the country) this comes with a beer back, in this case a Bud Light, so the $19 gets you 2 drinks, which is par for the course in regards to stadium pricing.

This is why I love capitalism.

Stayed at Bay Hill and drank an Arnie Palmer next to the man himself in the dining room. A fine moment in my life.

You’re really asking for it after this one, Dorn.
Nothing beats a late evening 9, when you’re the only person on the course and the sun is setting through the trees. Something very peaceful about it.

Yeah, but it’s just too cold. *looks outside and checks weather app* oh, 90 and sunny for the next 10 days. Brrr.
I pay $950 for a 1 bedroom here. If you look outside of the new overpriced mega complexes, there are plenty of deals to be found.

I think Minneapolis is the worst sports city in the US. Teams in all 4 major sports, and constant heartbreak and mediocrity.
