Gavin McInnes - The Death Of Cool

I started following this chap's writing about a year ago and can't get enough of him. If you are a male, born in the late 60's or early 70"s this cat (and book below) is a must read. You can find him on takimag.com frequently.

"That's the thing about being male: You quickly forget the times you were victorious. It's the times you pussied out that stick in your craw forever."

MAN of the WORLD - No.1 - Eerily on it

The mail arrived Saturday. Among the holiday Cabela's/Bean/Safari Press catalogs, Midway flyer's and everything else was a very simple, large, white envelope with something heavy inside. The return address said MAN of the WORLD and I had no clue what it was...or what I was in for.

Upon turning the first page I felt like someone had literally crawled inside my head and created a magazine from it. A full page color shot of a Wes Lang, ornithological, drawing on Chateau Marmont stationary! A two page, inside cover pic of a purple, Chevy Malibu lightin' up tires? A photo of the inside of a suitcase that had everything I appreciate like knives and watches and old books. A feature story about Backgammon. And a picture of a guy that looks very similar too me.

The Collection Inside

 I handed the thing to my wife and watched her flip the same pages. She looked oddly at me and said "this is you." How did they find me? What list am I on? And more so how fucking good are data mining companies that they should send the first edition of a periodical to a future subscriber. They nailed it. I'm sold and it appears I am not alone in my pursuits and interests. If these cats do a spread about Bullfighting..I'll shit my britches.
