this guy’s pretty legit. but here’s my take on what characteristics the ‘ultimate man’ should possess.

Characteristics that a man should possess

First, let me start off by saying that I am in no way the authority of what a real man should be because I think that I possess every single one of these characteristics or values. Each and everyday I learn something new about myself, or even a new way of thinking.

One thing I have definitely learnt over the past year, is that life will humble you. It humbles all of us at one time or another, which is somethin that we either embrace, or we fight. If we resist, and we’re never humbled by ‘these moments’, we’ll never learn.

The first step we must take in becoming the man we are meant to be, is to realize exactly who we are, what our strengths and weaknesses are, and what we can offer the world. I’m not perfect. I’m terribly imperfect, and I’m reminded of it everyday, which allows me plenty of room for growth.

That being said, I’m pretty awesome, and you’re reading this blog, so you’re obviously pretty awesome as well :) So, I’d love to hear what you have to say.

I had a great conversation yesterday with my Grandparents who live in the beautiful province of Newfoundland. It was great talking to them. My Grandfather’s a funny guy, he’ll always make a crack about me having a girlfriend who’s too good looking for me, which I don’t disagree with. I’ll fire back calling him an old fart which’ll make my Grandmother laugh. I haven’t seen them in years and it was great talking to them. Read the rest of this entry »


“he’s a stand-up guy, he’s old school”

This lovely photo was taken by Erica Chan at her birthday this past December. What a fun party!

When I think of a guy who’s ‘old school’ I think of values, principles and a guy who isn’t afraid to live by what he believes is important and right in life. I think of a stand-up-guy who takes pride in how he looks and acts. You won’t see an old school guy in sweats with his hair all outta whack, he’s got class - not that sweats are a bad thing, I just couldn’t picture a guy like Sinatra wearing sweats holding a slurpee.
