My friend and I have had some cool discussions over the last few days about our iTunes libraries. Both of us have have been collecting CDs since our high school days in the mid 90’s. As a result, our iTunes libraries are 5,000+ songs.
Today my friend asked about my top 10 played songs on iTunes. [...]

Top 10: My iTunes Play Count
Manly Vegas Entertainment: Phantom
Like I mentioned in my previous post, the wife and I enjoyed a few days alone in Vegas. We did the fancy dinner and stayed at a fancy hotel. The last piece of the puzzle: a Vegas show with the wife.
Before I booked tickets, we got advice from our friends and family about what shows [...]
Quality Time With the Wife
After watching District 9 and Mongol, I owed my wife a solid chick flick. I made sure the movie at the top of our queue was The Proposal. I like Sandra Bullock, so I was OK with watching the movie. Plus, I had my iPhone handy just in case the movie got boring. However, I [...]
Manly Movie Night
I had some time to kill on Saturday night. My wife was scrapbooking, the kids were asleep, and we were all caught up on the DVR. So, I decided to watch a manly movie. I found Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan on Netflix (watch instantly). When I think of Genghis Khan, one of thee [...]
Star Wars Credits Re-Edit

Looking for that TV Theme Song?
On Monday I was spent some quality time with my boy. Like I mentioned yesterday, he loves Spider-Man. So he asked me to find the theme song from Spectacular Spider-Man.
A few Google searches later and Voilà! Found it on TelevisionTunes.com. I spent a good 30 minutes on that site playing TV theme songs from my childhood: GI [...]
Spider-Man Bedtime Stories
I usually tell my 4 year old a bedtime story every night. It’s part of the nightly routine. Honestly, sometimes I half-ass it with a short story (yeah, I feel a little guilty about that). However, last night I turned in a solid performance.
Lately, my son has been into Spider-Man and Super Hero Squad. [...]
2010 Resolution #1
It is manly to read books. It is even manlier to read a wide range of books.
In the not too distant past, I loved reading books. I read the Harry Potter books, Tom Clancy books, political books, self-help books, personal finance books, religious books, and the latest best seller novels. My wife and I frequented [...]
My Favorite Childhood Cartoon was Ruined
Ever had one of your favorite childhood memories ruined? It happened to me this weekend. You see, my brother and I grew up watching the classic G.I. Joe cartoon from the 80’s. We had most of the action figures (Recondo was my favorite). My best friend had the aircraft carrier. We even had a G.I. [...]
Firing Up the Christmas Music
Thanksgiving is over. It’s officially time to fire up Christmas music on iTunes. And what kind of Christmas music does the Manly Dad listen to? Great question, Mr. Italicized voice. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is the “go to” Christmas music for the Manly Dad.
TSO is a perfect mix of traditional Christmas music, jazzy/bluesy sounding music, and manly [...]
