It seems like every other day there is some new blog popping up by someone who still lives at home (or is heavily supported from home) about how hate for working for someone else is the reason why they’re self-employed. This is such a fallacy on the subject of entrepreneurship that I felt the need to clear things up. First of all having a want to remove yourself from the endless routine of making your boss rich, while paying inflated taxes and living check to check is a good thing – so don’t get me wrong. Recognizing that it will take you down a path where you will work 3-5 times harder than your peers, worry more than they do about your future  and have an easier chance of winding up on the streets is something that shouldn’t be ignored. Ask anyone who has never struck out on their own what they think of self-employment… [Read more]

So I have this friend who is a classic romantic, we’re talking old school, Clark Gable type of guy – so of course women love him. He does these little things for his wife that would never cross my mind and then when it gets posted on Facebook the rest of us men get in trouble for not being him. Ya… you know… he’s THAT guy!

Well break out your notepad apps, your Amazon gift cards, and ease your patience by using the infograph below. Leave the guessing to the pros like my… [Read more]

Ray Lewis could very well play his last game on Sunday, and whether Ravens win or lose the Super Bowl it will be a dream ending.  Ed Reed says that Lewis may not be done, and could get an itch to play next year, but that’s a discussion for another time.  It’s only fitting that Lewis had to go through two of the biggest Titans in the NFL to get there.  He conquered two men at the top of the food chain in their respective careers, and bested both of them facing the end of his career..  Football may be a team game, but the Ravens have galvanized themselves around Ray Lewis. When Lewis announced he was retiring it spurned a lot of reaction mostly positive, but there were those who saw fit to bring up the 2000 murders of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar during the super bowl week in Atlanta.  These people consistently… [Read more]

Rule #66 (Paper-Blocking) It is rarely okay for a man to get in the way of another man’s money unless that man is a competitor or rival in business. People who stop you from making money out of jealousy or some twisted ideology on morality are some of the worst people to have in your life. If you are a man and see that another man is about to become successful off of his smarts or hard work, you should either congratulate him or get out of the way. There are way too many paper blockers in life to deal with compared to the men who genuinely back us up and lend support. Rule #67 (Reckless Eyeballing) As a general rule men don’t stare at other men unless when attempting to provoke an argument or a fight. The standard “peaceful” length of time for a man to stare at another man is roughly .8 seconds (give or take)…. [Read more]

So yesterday the wife of New Englands Patriots Wide Reciever Wes Welker – an ex-Hooters model by the name of Anna Burns Welker decided to throw Baltimore Ravens’ star Linebacker Ray Lewis under the bus and join what seems to be a sorority of dumb New England wives who can’t shut the hell up (looking at you Gisele) after their husbands lose. Anna got on Facebook and wrote the following, before the internet backlash forced her to make an apology: “Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis’ Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!” Since apologizing for posting the comment and becoming e-famous for being stereotypically hot and dumb, Anna was the subject of much article commentary that were both creative and hilarious. The Internet’s Reaction To Anna Burns… [Read more]

Understanding the game of love and happiness can be a complicated one for men and women who weren’t blessed with a tremendous amount of confidence. Luckily for them we have people who have figured it out that are willing to share their secrets with those who are humble enough to ask their help. One such individual is a man by the name of Mr. Locario who was kind enough to give an interview to The Hall of The Black Dragon on dating advice and what he has to offer. Hey Mr. Locario, thank you for taking the time to enter the Halls and allow us to pull your coat on women, the game, and how you can help guys get better at figuring it out. The first thing I wanted to ask you is on getting advice. There are many web spaces out there where you have guys calling themselves Pick Up Artists (PUA) and using formulas and flowcharts to break… [Read more]

In this new series we speak to men and women about the evil exes of their past. What we aim to get out of these interviews is some insight for you readers as to what went wrong in these situations so that hopefully you may avoid the mistakes that we have. Our first guest is Cee, he is an all-around “good guy” in the eyes of the world who was almost destroyed by the woman he met in Bible school… let’s get to it. When and where did you meet your ex?It all started in the spring of 2002. For some reason I was at a 1-year religious institute. It was sorta like a summer campground, but you go to classes and talk about Jesus all day. My 2002 self thought this would be a good thing. Anyway, I had never had a real girlfriend in my life, so everything that happened came with no… [Read more]
