    Boy am I thankful for being a man.  Home and garden shows?  Boo!   Handbag shopping?  Barf!   Fashion magazines?  Kill me first.  Phillies games?  That’s what I’m talking about!  Video games?  Rejoice!

    Most of all, not only do I not have to give birth to children, but I don’t have to worry about crap like cellulite and anti-cellulite creams.

    Seriously, when I think about the people I most admire they are people who shun fame, do good, and don’t care two shits about what other people think about them.
