1100 days from 30 years old

Recently, I received notification I was 1100 days from turning 30.

The email asked me the same thing it always does: “What have you done with today?”

For the first time in 770 days, I can say, “All I wanted to.”

Don’t Hope for Economic Change. Accept This as the New Normal.

Stop hoping for the economy to rebound. Get used to this “low point” as the new normal and Thrive!

Awesome Groomsman Gift

Cold Steel Trench Hawk Axe

I’m very happy for two friends who got married last Friday night.

While marriages are joyous occasions, true joy comes from getting an aweseome Tomahawk for a groomsman gift!

Amazon had a fantastic description of the item!

The Trench Hawk may well be the perfect antidote to the raw terror of eyeball to eyeball combat in the confined spaces of a trench, bunker, alley or narrow hallway. All it takes is one stroke from either the vicious cutting edge or its brutal wedge shaped spike to end the fight, and if the party starts at longer range the Trench Hawk’s twin -Inchbusiness ends-Inch make an accurate throw a breeze, since there’s double the chance of a lethal hit. When used defensively, the Trench Hawk’s cutting edge and spike also provide a big advantage, as either can be used for hooking or trapping and, like our Spike Hawk, their combined length can be used to parry or block an incoming blow. Drop forged from 5150 carbon steel and differentially hardened, the head of the Trench Hawk will withstand tremendous blows and the awful stress of continued throwing.

Lookout possible home invaders! I cannot guarantee I will reach for a firearm instead of this awesome tomahawk!
