MAN LIST THAT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH OF A MAN

A good man list leads with one thing: Be attentive. Without paying attention, what’s the point. Wait, where are you going?

SPENDING TIME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER GET OLD?

Spending time together in the right places make the best memories. The guys in the image are two brothers I follow on twitter. One is a sports talk guy, the other is a regular guest.
