Ten things every man should be able to do
It seems to me that men have lost a bit of their self-sufficiency in recent decades. We’ve become a gender that now relies on others to do the things we once took pride in. Here’s my list of ten things that everyman should be able to do.
First Guitar: Acoustic vs. Electric
The guitar is far and away the most popular musical instrument to learn to play. It’s prevalent in nearly all kinds of popular music and kids and adults alike to seem to gravitate towards it as their instrument of choice. It’s an extremely versatile instrument and in terms of instant gratification, it’s probably second only to the piano. By the end of your first day with a guitar, you should be able to play at least one or two popular songs. That being said, the decision on which guitar to purchase first is not one to be taken lightly.
What’s the better rock song: Freebird or Stairway to Heaven?
To be honest, before seeing this article, I’d never really thought of “Freebird” and “Stairway to Heaven” in the same terms. They are both epic rock songs and have a good bit in common. Both start out slow and build into frenzied guitar solos featuring amazing guitar work from their respective musicians. That being said, I feel as though “Freebird” is the superior rock song.
Will the United States still be a Democracy in 50 years?
Although the United States of America is technically a Republic, or a system where the people elect officials to represent them and then the officials vote on the issues, I do believe that our current system will still be around in 50 years, and I suppose that is the question posed in this article. In order for the U.S. to be a true Democracy, the populace would have to vote on issues rather than representatives of the populace. It’s easy to see how that could be quite a logistical nightmare. As a country, we’ve been through far more trying times and our system of government has remained relatively unchanged. The government has grown exorbitantly and intrudes far deeper into our lives than the forefathers ever intended, but the system they set forth in the constitution to elect officials and their governing methods are virtually the same.
Guide to Underground Atlanta
Underground Atlanta is essentially a mall that’s been built underneath a section of Downtown Atlanta. It was built when the city raised the level of the streets above and an area underneath was left over, so the city decided to make a mall out of it. Like many things in Atlanta, it’s a good idea in theory, but executed poorly. The area is really neat architecturally, and it has always had the potential to be a great area to visit, but the City of Atlanta has never quite figured out how to attract the right clientele.
