I for one am very very EXCITED to see the male version of VH1's Charm School, Mtv's Gs to Gents. I think there's nothing more sexy than a well rounded gentleman. A real man with manners, etiquette, and a killer suit. It's old Hollywood all over again. Bring back the classics like Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, and Steve McQueen. Debonair makes a comeback, and I say "YES PLEASE!"

Welcome to the Gentlemen's Club
I for one am very very EXCITED to see the male version of VH1's Charm School, Mtv's Gs to Gents. I think there's nothing more sexy than a well rounded gentleman.

Freaks and Geeks (And I don't mean the show!)
But:
A) Don't practice on me...i'm misanthropic when it comes to strangers...so i'll probably crush your confidence by being rude. (I'm practicing being a new yorker...SORRY)
B) There is NO and i repeat, just like in a prison visiting ward: there is "NO TOUCHING". I don't care that you think my hat is cute or that your niece would like it. Personal space is key.
C) Don't approach someone who's already 10 mins late to work and is trying to catch the next bus. They'll be extra rude, because you're making them even more late.
D) Don't say, "I LOVE WOMEN and I don't CARE what AGE", ever so enthusiastically. It just sounds creepy, pervy, and sums up a pedophile. I went to sleep early last night and I'm pretty sure I don't smell like berries. (If you don't know this reference: American Dad, the episode about the secret peanut society).
E) Brush your teeth before you go to bed, or gnomes will come murder your mother.
GOOD LUCK!

Chivalry Still EXISTS?!!?!
I Voted!!!!
I voted for the first time in my life! (I know, I know...what a crappy citizen, blah blah blah...)
Look! This experience was totally nerve-racking! "What if I vote for the wrong thing?" "What if I make a huge mistake?" Those were the types of questions floating in my head as sweat dropped down my forehead and I chewed the crap out of my left hand nails.
Of course it didn't help that the voting guide was printed on the same type of paper that SATs and AP exams are printed on. It brought me back to highschool memories as I was chewing the crap out of my left hand nails, hoping I fill in the right answer. (Hey old habits die hard. The voting experience was like a flashback, only what I'm filling out doesn't decide which college I go to, nor do I don the braces no more, either!)
But it's done, the envelope was sealed and dropped off at the polling site. (**side note: The polling site was located at a retirement home. Old people are so cute. They were all smiling at me with no teeth, and happy that a young person is voting.) SO I wear my red "I Voted" sticker as a badge of honor!
