Ambition: The desire and motivation to succeed. It’s a beautiful word. Everyone considers themselves to be ambitious but very few actually are. It’s a word used at school to get into College, then into a University and after “Higher Education” – to land oneself a (preferably) graduate job. Okay, so a person goes through that and after graduating with a fabulous degree ends up in a menial job. The relevance of the degree is lost or wasn’t worth doing in the first place. Imaginations run wild most times yet I’ve noticed one thing among many people. A lack of ambition. Ambition encompasses drive, determination, willpower and motivation. A bit like a 4 in 1 Shampoo (I’m hoping for this note’s sake-it exists!). It is what will carry a person to reach a goal that has been set and visualized by the mind’s eye. People often have the end... [Read more]

If admiring a woman’s body is sexist or misogynistic then I am the lord of all pigs – Greg Dragon. There comes a time when a man will spot a sexy woman or an okay looking woman with a pert waist and an awesome backside. At this point it is easy to get entranced as the cheeks lift and descend rhythmically and you run into a wall or another person before snapping out of your momentary daze. One of the most embarrassing things is to get caught by a fellow employee or someone’s mom because you were hypnotized by the onion in her form fitting skirt. Well we’ve all been there, we are all guilty of it and many of us have been scarred by an angry recipient of our “wandering eyes”. Women know when they are sexy, but like breasts, it is still a no-no for us men to ogle them uninvited. Unfair I know guys, I know but like most things in life this is yet another game between the sexes,... [Read more]

Being confident and sexy for women is something that some men are blessed with naturally and others have to work at it. Often times magazines and blogs offer guides as to things that should be done in order to attract women but is this general outlook on the fairer sex even realistic? Women are as different as men are so one woman’s attraction is another woman’s turn-off, for this reason following a how-to guide will yield about the same results you had before reading it. Many men lack a good presence to them when they move around throughout society, the guys with swag stand out. In order to be “chosen” one must standout, be apart, be your own sense of cool. Please re-read that last sentence, you must have YOUR OWN sense of cool. When you go emulating Joe Hollywood or your wolf buddy Samuel , you present a transparent façade to the world and no-one will take you seriously. When... [Read more]

We are now in the Information Age, it is inevitable to hear things about people with whom you will never ever meet in your limited time on this earth. Back in the day an artist could be the vilest most pungent individual and it would not affect his sales being that news about the scores of young women he ran through and the illegitimate children he left behind was kept quiet. A celebrity could still live in relative privacy from his/her adoring fans’ probing concerns into their daily lives The Information Age ushered in all sorts of change to media; the professionals who went to school and learnt investigative reporting has been replaced by nerds with a computer, a cheap camera and minimal writing skills. We know way too much about our celebrities and even worse, we care too much about our celebrities. People like Tom Cruise who had an enviable career that spanned decades was torn to shreds... [Read more]

Rule #31 (Get your own drink honey!): This should be common knowledge but since Hollywood writes it into these modern day movies, I am thinking that guys believe it to be okay to do. What am I going on about? Buying random women drinks to break the ice, this is simp activity, bitch-made guy actions. You DO NOT buy a woman a drink unless you know her prior to going there. Let me ask you this, how many times have you seen James Bond offer to buy a drink? I’m waiting, and I’ve seen all the episodes several times over, dude is always in a bar in some woman’s face. When has he bought a woman a drink? That’s right, he doesn’t do it. 007 strolls up the bartender, scopes the room for his prey, orders a Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred) and takes his drink over to her to chat her up. In Casino Royale Bond wanted to get into Vesper’s panties really badly and... [Read more]

I don’t typically post music videos on the Hall but Ciara could easily have her own section on this site for being so excruciatingly hot. This is her video with Ludacris for the song “Ride” and if you can manage 4 minutes and 39 seconds of fire on your screen then go ahead and hit play and watch the princess dance. Now there are some of you who are probably going to see this and say “I don’t see the big deal”, well unless you can submit a video of yourself popping those gym-toned hips to a beat through several unique dance steps then I suggest you sit your hatin’ ass down and find something else to do. For those of you that can appreciate poetry in motion, witness Ride or as I like to call it “sex music”.

“There is always an option, quitting being one of them” Jobs expect you to live check to check, they don’t expect you to be doing well with money. If you are doing well with money they know that if your work situation gets too hot, you have an easy way out. You aren’t lock into the job like everyone else and they cannot read you or keep you locked down and a menial salary. Actually when you are financially set with ambiguous income streams, your boss who knows this will be more likely to play ball when it comes to raises and promotions. A dangerous employee is an employee with options. This is the case if your boss is the standard guy that is using you as a “necessary evil”. Most people play into his hands because they live check to check. They whine but make no moves towards bettering their position. You should always have options, whether it be a start-up that... [Read more]

For those of you who are not in the know, a LARP is a Live Action Role Player aka a nerd (many are female) who plays out an adventure using props, swords and armor. Yes people do this… This past weekend on my ritual sprint session, a couple friends of mine experienced LARPing for the first time and their reactions were shall I say entertaining? The huge field around which the 5k track ran is normally a place for people who wish to play soccer, walk dogs or attempt the picnic thing. On the day that we went however it was beyond hot and the park was empty except for 14 people with plastic swords, staves and shields running around in what I assumed was a form of melee. Question for the LARPs So being a huge fan of Sword and Sorcery (even the 100% white Middle Earth) and a former desktop Advanced Dungeons and Dragons player, I get the wont to become your character versus imagining him/her in... [Read more]

I think I should start this article by saying this is primarily my advice for single people. It might apply to people dating/married but I tend to think if it did, it would be to a lesser degree. Ok so single people out there, sometimes in life we get to deal with annoying little reminders that we’re single and everyone else isn’t (or so it seems). One of the best reminders is when an ex gets married. Not only were you not good enough for the long term, but they found someone who was. One of the biggest temptations a person can have, or so I’ve experienced, is to hate on your ex. I know everybody is different, and hell some people are bff’s with their exes, but I think it’s time to cover some ground rules for this occasion. Some of the temptations will creep in to tell the person off and explain how idiotic they are for marrying “that douchebag/... [Read more]
