Captain Thunder, Nitro and Zap, Dog names from Dr Awesome
The fourth category is probably my favorite, and I'm dividing it into two subcategories. The first subcategory is "names you'd expect to hear in the WWE." This includes names like Captain Thunder, Lord Humongous, or Gigantor. The second subcategory is like the first, "names you'd expect to hear on American Gladiators." This includes names like Nitro, Turbo, and Zap. If you think it would be funny to hear "Dennis Awesome" called out by a nurse at the vet, imagine how great it would be to hear "Captain Thunder." Plus I think it would be great for your children to have to present a report about Captain Thunder to their first grade class. The possibilities for names like this are endless.[via To Every Man A Manswer]
Life is a game with a glorious prize,
Life is a game with a glorious prize,
If we can only play it right.
It is give and take, build and break,
And often it ends in a fight;
But he surely wins who honestly tries
(Regardless of wealth or fame),
He can never despair who plays it fair
How are you playing the game?
Do you wilt and whine, if you fail to win
In the manner you think your due?
Do you sneer at the man in case that he can
And does, do better than you?
Do you take your rebuffs with a knowing grin?
Do you laugh tho’ you pull up lame?
Does your faith hold true when the whole world’s blue?
How are you playing the game?
Get into the thick of it - wade in, boys!
Whatever your cherished goal;
Brace up your will till your pulses thrill,
And you dare to your very soul!
Do something more than make a noise;
Let your purpose leap into flame
As you plunge with a cry, “I shall do or die,”
Then you will be playing the game.

Saying No for stewardship
"What are the essential responsibilities that I have said yes to?" And, therefore, "What do I need to start saying no to?"
Say no, so that you can keep your commitments that you have said yes to.
Say no, so that you can keep your commitments that you have said yes to.
A man, above all, recognizes his duty and therefore does not accept it lightly
A man, above all, recognizes his duty and therefore does not accept it lightly. He understands that his word is his bond, exercised by everyday actions and daily decisions. He will not waft through life selfish or disconnected, like someone who carries a fickle mind. A man, a real man, will not make promises he cannot keep, and chooses his words as carefully as he does his commitments. And because this man honors his words, he is in turned honored in his actions.
And while years may fall carelessly from the calendar, and the world may pass us by like a reckless wind, it is never too late to man up and mean it.

Teaching their son to be a man
[ from http://writerdad.com/ ]
I would tell my son that he must never walk away from what he knows is right, and though it may be hard to stand tall against our enemies, it is even harder to reach for the sky opposite our friends. I would tell my son that he must do both, always and without fail. A man who goes along with that which he knows is wrong, whether it is to be a part of something or simply because it is easier, will see less than he wishes when looking in the mirror.
We may not need to wear three piece suits, seven days a week to look our best, but that doesn’t mean we should leave our houses looking like slobs. Proper grooming reveals our respect. Respect for ourselves, respect for those in our company, and respect for those we happen to meet. Proper grooming is not the sole domain of the affluent. Soap is cheap and time runs in equivalence to air.
My boy will know to open the door for his wife, because every day he watches me open the door for mine. Somewhere in the midst of the feminist movement, there was a misunderstanding. Just because we are no longer required to do something by the reduced laws of society, doesn’t mean we never should.
