Role Model


The piece of 100% man to the right is Thomas Magnum, as in Magnum P.I. We don't like to think of him as Tom Selleck, because...well because for some reason when we think of him as a real human being, he reminds us of an ex-girlfriend's father, and this dad was a doozy. To be fair, we gave the dude a few reasons to want to kill us, but its been years and he's still got it out for us. The last time we saw him, we were at a social gathering, and when he spotted us, he drilled us in the chest with a rock. But back to the focus of this post, Magnum P.I. the show was great. But Magum the dude was an inspiration.

We are at a personal crossroads in our lives right now. We are faced with two decisions--two decisions that will lead us down different roads--each different, but each good. We've been thinking the choice over and have come to the conclusion that we will choose based on which verdict will get us to the life of magnum quicker.
It's been quite a revelation, and we are going to start basing all major decisions on this thought process. He came up randomly in conversation tonight, and after mentioning how badass the dude was, We started rattling off the evidence...it's startling

1. His name is Magnum.

2. He lives on a Hawaiian island.

3. The 'stache and how he never hesitated to flaunt his rather sculpted sticks with some short shorts, shows that he had unreal machismo.

4. One of his two friends owned and operated a helicopter.

5. One of his two friends owned and operated the hippest nightclub on the island.

6. Look at those wings under his baseball cap.

7. He only worked when he wanted to.

8. The majority of his clients were hot chicks. Hot victimized chicks...mmmmmmmmm.

And now to the good stuff:

9. He lived in a millionaire's guest house, and the millionaire was never home.

10. He didn't pay the millionaire one red cent for living in the posh digs.

11. He used the millionaire's Ferrari as his main source of transportation.

12. He didn't pay the millionaire one red cent for driving his sweet ride.

13. The millionaire employed that Higgins dude to look after everything, so Magnum had no responsibility.

We salute you Thomas Magnum. Your life of leisure, but yet excitement, gives Us hope, and molds our aspirations. You will forever live on...in our hearts, our minds, and weeknights from 2am-3am on our local CBS affiliate.

Take the road less traveled. The option that scares you the most is the one you should take. Unless you plan to get an MBA/JD/MD or plan to become a professor, Grad School probably isn't the way to go. You'll end up putting yourself into debt, and becoming a slave to the system. Live life.
