This is why men don’t call other men handsome

I was out with my wife the other day and we saw a couple that we know. Her husband and I gave each other the man-nod and exchanged pleasantries. That’s the simple head tilt upwards quickly followed by a “what’s up?” or “how’s the weekend?”. It may not officially be called the man-nod, but it is virtually guaranteed that no women greet each other that way. That is because women, usually after the initial greeting say “you (or possibly that outfit) look so pretty”.

Steve McQueen, a Mustang, Charger and our #FirstCarMoment #ad

I partnered with Life of Dad and Michelin for this promotion. I have received compensation for my participation, but my first car memories are my own and I’m jealous of my 16YO self. My dad wanted me to be Steve McQueen. Granted he never actually told me that, nor have I seen my dad avidly watching his old movies, but he did. My first car was a 1968 white Ford Mustang. The year was 1984, Van Halen just released their classic album (ask your mom kids) and I was driving one of the coolest cars ever. That’s our #FirstCarMoment and while I don’t remember what tires were on it; I can say that our son’s first car won’t be as cool as mine, but it’ll darn sure have great quality tires.

To old friends who are dads of all ages

I found out that a friend of mine from college was in town and I messaged him immediately to if he’d have time to get together. He said that he’d be in town for three days and would have some free time at the end of his conference. It was great seeing him again because it brought back some great memories and encouraged me about today’s young people.

My feet, #PoweredByRockport and comfortable #Giveaway

As a stay at home dad to two increasingly active boys I know the schedule. The exact times may vary, but they will always consist of: go somewhere, buy something, build something, knock something down, run and run some more until we go to sleep. I’ll be at the helm for these fun times and my go-to shoes for general wear are Rockport. We’re giving away two pairs of the awesome Walk360 Toe Guard shoes.

Don’t be a luffa, #RealMenScrub with frank and it’s great

I partnered with Life of Dad and frank body for this promotion. Note: A luffa is a scrubber that is used in the shower. Aloof is an adjective used to describe someone who appears disoriented or uncaring. For example, ‘that guy sure is aloof about his hygiene, he smells like a billy goat and his temperament is questionable too’, but enough about some of the other dad bloggers involved in this. The first time I tried frank Body Scrub I immediately saw a difference and had unexpected results from people around me.

Old Spice giveaway and Dadsong, #SmellcomeToManhood

This post and giveaway were made possible by Double Duty Divas and Old Spice. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.”

Dadsong sounds like some lame song that you’d hear on an old movie from school. Wait, maybe that’s Ryan’s Song, either way I can’t believe old yeller was a sled. Dadsong is the new campaign from Old Spice, it’s the sequel to Mom Song from last year. That was the hilarious spot with just a little bit of Adventure Time surrealist mixed in. As a dad to two boys I’m not too attached to their youth now, but I can certainly see aspects of Dadsong in my future.

Drive an exotic sports car on a racetrack near Atlanta, really

Cars are expensive. Exotic sports cars are even more expensive. Driving an exotic sports car is something that I, along with most of my friends have wanted to do. As most (see: none) of our friends have an Aston Martin, McLaren, Lamborghini or Ferrari that they’ll let us rip wide open I guess it’s up to Xtreme Xperience to put me in the driver’s seat.
