The Rules Of Hallow's Eve

What to do on Hallow's Eve, A Gentleman's Guide

1. Never dress up on the intent of scaring a small child. Instead, opt for a simple "Boo" if in want of a little fright

2. If you are passing out candy, do not hold back. Give out good, tasteful candy. After all, you will give the child happiness and not have to deal with the rush of sugar later

3. Let your own costume be tasteful. Never wear anything sold in a super market as the manual-labor glue will not hold through out the night.

4. Drunk = loss of gentmanly sense. Due to the invention of cameras, taperecorders, video recorders, facebook, college, etc, your wasted night of "fun" will last for more than one night

5. Have fun but, as stated before, hold your sense of manners. Just because it is a holiday, does not mean you should "howl all day" like some sort of animal

6. If you must trick someone, look up a group of fellows named "The Three Stoogies". This is not how you should trick. Instead, just a light tap on the head will do

7. Make your candy last. Do not eat it all in one night as the resulting crash will insure you do not wake the next morning

8. Know your way around a computer. This will be needed as you will not follow any of the above rules and will need to delete any source of your "fun in a thousand definitions" night before it becomes "facebook offical"

All in all, it does not matter how you act tonight as long as the traces of it do not exist. Every gentleman has his wild nights; he just knows how to clean up properly afterwards

Stay safe and Happy Holloween

Birthdays

To start this party off, I say "Happy Birthday" to my wonderful girlfriend (yes, the lonegentleman is taken) who just turned 18. I hope you have a wonderful day and continue having trillions more. Now, as many things do, this has caused me to think of something: parties in relation to your age. I can clear as day remember my fifth birthday. It was Harry Potter themed with party ballons, games, and the lot. Now, at 18, I only went to the local pizza parlor and did not do much. The strange thing is I am perfectly fine with this except I did not know why until my girlfriend's birthday party. We only attended a resturant and I relized we had a lot of fun just being together. Now this could be just because we are a couple but then I see this with everyone else around me. I think the reason for this is as youngsters, we believe our birthday parties happen because we think we are the center of the world. Now, as adults, we realize just how many others are out there. This can be taken bad as you can see yourself as little or you can take it the right way: positive. By finding we are not the center of the universe, we can find the possibly of  friendship instead of attention. We don't need people shouting our names in praise of living and can instead find happiness in companionship while living. Needless to say there are some people who never get to learn this and sell their personalities for attention. We view these people as annoying because of their lack of maturity but one day they have to grow up. If they do not, they will never live for themselves but always for others. It is sad to see people like this but I hope to anyone out there reading you will take the lesson. As a gentleman, it is my duty to make sure I can better society in anyway. Funny what a simple birthday can make someone think.

Age = Wisdom

I have officially become a true gentleman for as of October 14, 2011, the LoneGentleman has turned 18. Per the usual things that come with this age, I faced a rather hard challenge that goes by the name "The Selective Service System". For those of you who do not know, The Selective Service System is a program for which a 18-year-old male must sign. So one may ask "what is so difficult about this?". As a response I would say, "You are signing up for the armed forces draft.". If America needed men for any time of difficulty, you can be called out. Now, do not get me wrong. I do not disagree with the SSS too much. It is any honor for anyone to go to service for one's country but it is a different story for some males like my self when we find out we can be drafted. The idea of one being called out to go to war with little warning is a tad scary. Even though no one has been drafted since 19  , that is still almost 40 years. I am just worried at the wind though as the future looks clear and a positive attitude keeps it looking clearer. I should note to anyone who may be getting ready for the age of 18 to not be too nervous about it like I was; we need not to worry about anything beyond our eyes. Thinking about my advice did bring up a nicer topic: age is not something to avoid. Just a week ago I was in stress over signing for the SSS and now I don't have an ounce of concern. This came about over time from living. I became wiser just by muddling over my thoughts for a period of time. That was a week now imagine years, decades. I am only 18 and I can not express in words how exciting it is to me to one day be 60 or 70. I can only dream of the amount of wisdom I will gain by then, the knowledge I will have collected, and the stories I will have to tell. To me, the equation of life should be

Life = wisdom(age) + experience x happiness
(life equals wisdom times age plus experience times happiness)

This is what I have learned over 18 years of life. The possiblies of age are endless. It's a gift that needs to be viewed better than the curse society sees it as. This is coming from a young adult, why cannot experienced adults see it the same? I believe that when you do, you will find how much more happiness will be within you and how much more money will be in your pocket after your "ageless creme budget" goes under.
