Time to Thank the Powers That Be.
In my short but illustrious career as a man I have seen the trends in women’s fashion change considerably. As a man I have taken it upon myself to be a keen observer of women’s fashion and I have seen the rise and fall of many garments. Some of them I don’t miss while others I wish would come back in style. I personally miss the Tube-Top. I remember as a young man in high school in the late 90’s Tube-Tops were all the rage and from first sight, I was smitten. Tube-Tops are a thing of the past now and since their descent into the underworld of fashion history I feared that nothing would replace them, but the Gods have smiled upon me once again. I would like to take a moment to give thanks, for Yoga Pants.  Who could have known that such a simple idea could bring so many, so much joy? The best thing about yoga pants (okay the second best thing) is how this wonderful creation has become acceptable beyond the yoga studio. I see them everywhere these days; from the gym to the college classroom to the store and in the bar. Women love them for comfort and convenience and men, well that’s obvious. So, I would like to take a moment to thank the Powers That Be for giving us all the gift of Yoga Pants.


Random Thoughts From The Compleat Man.
Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.  Nothing sucks more than when I’m arguing with my wife and realize I’m wrong. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. There is great need for a sarcasm font. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? Was learning cursive really necessary? Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I know how to get out of my neighborhood. Bad decisions make good stories. Mmmmm Ham. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Beer than Kay. I wish my GPS had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important, witness the evolution of the species. Sometimes I think I’m hungry but really I’m just bored.  The only target I hit on the first shot every time is the snooze button. Ultra light beer is stupid, if you want abs, don’t drink beer. What sounds better, steak or Kate Upton?
