You Don't Have a Daughter

I was originally writing this on a military message board to a guy who described himself as "unfit" asking military guys for tips on how to get fit.  As I was writing I realized my message was getting quite long and no one on a message board would ever read it.  I also realized that these were actually workout goals I've been setting for myself.  Weird.  It's funny because there are a couple people that I know that are trying to get back into shape so I should probably post this for everyone's benefit.

The Art of Manliness, a new discovery for me, has recently posted up a GREAT article on the importance of paying dues. It's titled "The Importance Of Paying Your Dues." Yup. I mean, I really want to put a quick write-up here explaining my own feelings on how important paying your dues is in this world, and how too often people these days want to skip the whole paying dues process - and what so many others have gone through in paying their dues so that so many of us could live the lives that we've lived - but honestly these manly men have covered it all.
