My wife and I have a little Halloween tradition we’ve started of watching the Rocky Horror Picture Film each year around that spooky night. (Last year we saw a live performance in a movie theatre while drunk off flat champagne… good times) Anyway, something struck me last year and was internalized even further when I […]

Another day, another big Twitter argument with “that” corner of the internet. And all because of a little bitty quote of mine from Monday’s email Rivelino (@alpharivelino) sent out: “Ethical players must stay away from decent girls, or must change their ways and date them seriously. You are scum otherwise, no matter what you tell

“Hi Pat. I hope you’re well. I was just reading the Mary Magdalen section in “The Way Forward” that reminded me of a question I asked Mr. Tomassi. I’d very much enjoy your answer to the same question. “Hi Rollo. I’ve been meaning to ask you about something that’s bothered me a bit about some
I remember as a teenager, meandering through the Cherry Hill Mall (shout out to South Jersey!), always feeling strange when walking by Victoria’s Secret. The place has a “forbidden” element to it. It was for women. Given the models and lingerie everywhere, you were a “pervert” if — as a man — you went in

Friday night I put out in passing on Twitter: “Joke with your kids if you want them to develop their instincts.” The thought crossed my mind as I had finally found a parking space in a cozy little alley, deep in old italian South Philly. This neighborhood is “gentrifying,” but still has a lot of the
Yesterday we talked about sex and enlightenment. Today we’re going to talk about it too. As you know, I think most psychological growth comes from deep, intimate relationships. The reason for that is simple. People you spend time with hold a mirror up to you. And the closer you get to someone, the more they

It seems more and more that the divide in “the sphere” is between cad and trad — those who want to sleep with a lot of girls, and those that want to settle down. Most consider me on the side of the latter. Which makes sense. I’ve taken more than a couple jabs at the “gather-notches”

As most of you know, I’m currently in France. So it should be no surprise I’ve taken time to visit some wine producers. It’s fascinating to see how these guys work. There are certain “universals,” obviously, to how they make wine — but they styles are so distinct. One guy has a real cult following

It’s no shock to people that I enjoy my drink. Alcohol is fun, though truth be told its the culture around it I love. (Why 95%+ of what I drink is wine, unless I am in Poland or Mexico, when it’s vodka or tequila shots respectively) And so, I’ve had my share of “hangovers” and

I wondered about sending this email out — after all, any association with Bronze Age Pervert (BAP) — the “fascist, steppe barbarian, nudist bodybuilding” leader of Frogtwitter — has tons of risk and very little reward. But I’m a curious guy, and we explore all sorts of ideas here. Also: I do not give a
