All-American Manliness: Rhode Island & South Carolina
I’m slightly behind in
posting about the manliness to be found in the U.S. So, today, I’m doing a double post for Rhode Island and South Carolina. It is fitting, really. Both men that I have highlighted have pursued their passions, taking risks to have their careers.
Rhode Island’s native son, Bryan Berard is a star from [...]

I’m a sucker!
You Are a Vampire
You are charming, sensual, and even a bit manipulative.
You can’t help but get people to do what you want.
You have sharp senses and a strong predatory instinct.
You go after what you want, without mercy.
While you have the heart of a killer, many people are drawn to you.
You are elegant, timeless, and mysterious. [...]
