BACK after a short hiatus

Well...




What's going on guys? I know it's been a while. Like I said.. adult life sucks

Stay in school....FOREVER


You could be sitting at home "studying" like this guy




and nobody will bother you because people can respect somebody who is studying but they cannot respect a grown man sitting at home not working AND not getting married, and for that reason alone...I work....once in a while haha.

Anyways, in November I got a new job (let's just say I'm a telemarketer, cuz I'm tired of explaining what it is that I do): I don't work retail, hospital, infusion, etc. Yes I'm still a Pharmacist...kinda.

AS USUAL START READING HERE IF YOU DONT GIVE A F**K ABOUT MY LIFE


so I was reading an article from some of my fans (yeah there's still a few of em out there) which got me feeling like I've been neglecting ma peeps and it had some things I wanted to touch on.


I. Article : 

https://www.thrillist.com/sex-dating/nation/grooming-advice-for-men-things-women-hate?ref=facebook-869 

ALLEGEDLY written by a woman (you trust me more....right??)

A. Things I agree with:



1. An outrageous amount of pubic hair

 a. well this one we have discussed pretty thoroughly, and here you have it...from WOMEN. The current era respects men who remove their hair (oh to be in the 70's and 80's again). Be careful when manscaping, my choice of tool:


 

Norelco Bodygroom.


And now I'll be posting my video on how to use it.
















No...wtf do you think this is?

In all seriousness though, I don't see any reason for you to KEEP alot of your hair, I feel it makes me run faster when I shave trim my excess hairs, but to each his/her own (No shame to have alot of hair girll....Like I always say, it's easier to take hair off than put hair on).

This takes some trial and error, also be careful (WOMEN AND MEN). Take your time with grooming...these are sharp objects moving around gentle areas. 

b. Speaking of which....I started using a flat blade to shave..best decision of my LIFE.

Like I've said in earlier blogs, you won't have that feeling of pulling 5 blades against your face, but it does take a LOT of practice. 
I watched videos for two weeks before I started using it, so it's completely possible to do. You will not regret this decision (minus the cuts during your training phase). 

MAIN POINT: Keep your skin taut (like when you give flu shots) and only shave up/down do NOT shave side to side.

2. Lack of lotion




a. Does this actually need to be explained? Don't be ashy. The hunnies don't wanna run their hands up against your rough/dry ass skin.  

b. From a medical standpoint...I've seen (not by choice) too many skin reactions from not taking care of it for me to just sit here and not tell you to moisturize your skin. If your skin doesn't itch naturally after a shower, just make sure you do a lotion check before you leave your house, or just stick it at your door so you don't forget.
3. Picking things
a. Nose, balls, etc. 
Full disclosure: this shit is easier said than done. HOWEVER...it might be easier to not have to adjust your junk IF you wear lotion (just a thought). Other than that, just be conspicuous about it. Some things just cannot be UN-seen.....so don't put yourself at a disadvantage with the hunnies by accidentally adjusting your junk in front of her.
4. Poor nail hygiene
a. So....people always ask me "Do you seriously get pedicures?" and im just like...



I get too much shit for gettin pedicures pretty frequently. It feels good, I work hard, and my feet need to be pampered. Also, they get up in that corner like I never could. Believe it or not, girls DO look at your toes, because they can tell alot about your character from it. 

If you're a lazy bum chances are your toe nails are dirty and girls (especially successful ones), are looking for you to be goal oriented and they can tell from your dirty ass nails that you are not....so atleast put up a facade until she really gets to know you.

b. There are way too many over-the-counter nail fungus remedies for you to be going around with that gunk in your toe nails (I'm not talking about the excess from your sucks, I'm talking real fungus). So just go to CVS/Walgreens and get yourself some help for that fungus. ( I SHOULD BE CHARGING FOR THIS)....
SUPPORT PHARMACISTS FOR PROVIDER STATUS...heh.
5. Too much cologne



I can smell you from a mile away...



MORE IS NOT BETTER. 3 sprays should be enough...you shouldn't be trying to cover up body musk with cologne. The best spots so that your cologne emanates are where your neck and chest meet, behind your ears, and......your elbow....(don't ask me why...just do it). 



6. Soul patches
a. Amir Khan would disagree with me, but it's also not 2003 anymore....so.
There's a reason I've NEVER condoned this style in any of my posts. Honestly like I've said before, if you can rock the clean shave...that's the best but not everybody is blessed with that. Only you know your face, but soul patch "flava sava" is not for you....or anybody for that matter.

B. Things I don't agree with: 


1. Chinstrap beards

a. I'm not sure what exactly they are getting at, but there are definitely do's and don'ts. At the end of the day...do what YO hunny says. 

However in general,
NO:

YES:

If you can't grow thicker than a chinstrap....it might be time to consider a goatee, or clean shave (sorry bud).


2. Waxing anywhere (except the back)

a. Okay this is a double standard you should feel free to wax wherever you feel like. and it makes no sense to say you can wax your back but not the rest. that's like the concept of a donut having sprinkles and frosting on only one side:


Wax away fellas (and hunnies you too....PLEASE). jk women's rights, etc. you can do as you please


But....please....

3. Using bar soap for your entire body
My parents/ancestors grew up using bar soap (you think they bought mf'in shower gel in India?
You were lucky if you even HAD soap....

Their reasoning is that you are touching different parts of your body with the soap...




SO what exactly do you do when you use shower gel and a shower poof?





II. Miscallaneous things that have been pissing me off recently:


1. Odd highlights (too light, uneven, etc.)



Okay they might not be this bad....but Indian girls getting blonde highlights...chill bro. I think ombre is actually better. HA.

Dark brown or something maybe other than that....just stop it guys.

2. Ankle socks with shoes and pants and me seeing your shins



3. Overly negative people



Things could always be worse...

4. People not going after their potential

I don't say this enough....but you can do some much more if you let yourself be successful.
Take the shackles off and enjoy all the blessings you have.





IV. Last but not least....I like hearing from those on their weight loss journeys, only one person still checks in with me there was a few more that started out, but haven't reached out afterwards and that's partly my fault. Sorry for being MIA, being adult (bills, working, etc.) takes a toll on you. Sometimes I just need some ideas from my (ever decreasing amount of) fans.

Hope everyone can finish off lent strong and use it to SPRING FORWARD (one less hour of sleep) to the rest of the year and be the best you can be spiritually, emotionally, and physicall (Beach body 2016...we can do it!)
