The Art of Manliness
Last November I was assigned with the annual task of carving our family turkey. I’ve performed this task several times, but always with terribly disappointing results (mangled pieces of turkey lying strewn all over a platter). This year I decided to take my turkey carving skills to the next level by checking the internet for advice. I was directed to an outstanding video that was created by a blog called “The Art of Manliness”. Being a man I decided to investigate this site a little further and have since come to greatly enjoy their writing. The posts cover a broad range of topics including how to grow a manly beard, a simple daily exercise routine, how to pack the perfect travel bag, etc. I should mention that this is not a Christian site, but thus far I have found their posts to be enjoyable reads and actually very helpful.
They have even put together a Guide to Manliness in 2008, which I would highly recommend for any man, but especially for young men who are wondering how to avoid being a “scallywag”. They cover topics such as cell phone etiquette, proper tipping, and even the proper use of facebook. You can get a free copy of the Guide to Manliness in 2008 by signing up for their RSS or by clicking on this link (it looks like their having a problem with their RSS Feed providing the link, so I’m giving it here). They also have a free man’s cookbook, which I have yet to try but am confident will turn out to be well a good resource. So, check out http://artofmanliness.com and let me know what you thin.
