The Mindwisps of Kenny B

I want it!...Warning: Midlife crisis ahead!

Piaggio MP3

I've always wanted I scooter/motorbike. Unfortunately, the practical side of my brain always ruled me out due to safety concerns (Having a bike-enthusiast uncle, crash out and nearly perish in a motorcycle accident didn't help). As I zoom passed the mid-30 mark, a one-person transportation device with only skin-bone-leather separating me from the warm pavement is sounding quite reasonable. Since, I like whatever is new and different, this new scooter from Piaggio called the MP3 is looking "sweeet". It has two front wheels instead of one for added stability and handling at higher speeds. Plus, it looks like nothing else on the road (added bonus!).

If the price is right, its mine! Check it out.

300 Bound or Bust?

300

I couple of my co-workers saw the movie "300" last weekend and enjoyed it, so I'm making it a point to go see it tomorrow. Some of the reviews for the movie have been mixed , mostly based on the historical accuracy (or lack thereof) of the historic "Battle of Thermopylae". Give me a break! Its a movie, folks. Its based on the comic by Frank Miller which itself was loosely based on the actual event...its not a documentary. It has everything 18-35 year old men love. Violence, sexual situations, and themes of glory and honor...a sure-fire hit! The movie will definitely give me the "manhood" boost my psyche needs right now. I'll post my thoughts on the movie on Sunday.

Has anyone seen the flick? 

What is it to be a man?

Strongman

What is a man? Is a man defined by what he does or by what he doesn't do? Is it a combination of both? I have come to the conclusion that most men...have no clue what a REAL man is suppose to be. I'm trying to find the answer for myself. Cause lately...I have had my doubts about my own definition of manhood. I hope one day to finally be the man I think I should be.

I found this interesting web article called "What Makes a Real Man" from MenStuff.org.  It gives a little history of men through the centuries and add its own humorous take on the question. Check it out here.

So what's a real man to you?

What's a Mindwisp?

Well...a mindwisp is a word I made-up to describe a tiny thought or idea that needs to be crystallized into action before it fades or "floats" away from consciousness. I envision that this blog will be my forum to "capture" all my mindwisps before they float away. Almost like ethereal "Pokemon". Got to catch them all!

Themeless Blog or Wishy-washy blogger?

I haven't quite figured out a theme for this blog yet. I'm leaning toward a "willow-wispy" stream of consciousness type blog, where I discuss what interests me for that particular day and see where it takes me. I don't want to be tied down which is the exact opposite of real life. So yes...the blog shall remain themeless.
