I think we can all gain great insight in the type of person we are and what type of person someone else is based on the way they treat/react to people in certain environments. Let's look at the restaurant scene. Eating out is very common and is a perfect window to view how a person …
Adventures in the Air
Personally one of my favorite things is flying. Everything about it screams adventure and it still baffles me that something so large can sustain itself in the air. Sure there is plenty of science behind it but in my opinion aviation represents the limitless capabilities of humans. With the advent of the modern jet airliner …
Swatch “Swiss Made” on a Budget
There are a million watches available to men but it seems that a lot of these watches are oversized and overly ornate. I like a classic looking watch that turns heads and looks way more expensive than its' price tag. In college I remember Swatches for being overly colorful and trendy but recently they have …
