Urban Dad's Gentleman Daily Post.
A gentleman knows that the gym is a place for working out, not merely a place for socializing, and certainly not a place for finding a new love interest or attempting to impress others.
He wanted to build, she wanted to blame...

Today would have been Bob Marley's 69th birthday!
Happy Birthday to a great man, Mr. Nesta Robert Marley. Your legacy will live forever. The Legend!!!
"If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give-up. If you give up, you're not worthy. Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."

American Rhetoric - Ace of Diamonds
American Rhetoric - Ace of Diamonds

Below is a small excerpt from a speech by, Russell Conwell's speech 'Ace of Diamonds', I recently heard that resonated with me. I wish more young urban father's would take these word into account when planning their future for their families.
My friend... introduce me to the people who
own their homes around this great city, those beautiful homes with gardens and
flowers, those magnificent homes so lovely in their art, and I will introduce
you to the very best people in character as well as in enterprise in our city,
and you know I will. A man is not really a true man until he owns his own home,
and they that own their homes are made more honorable and honest and pure, true
and economical and careful, by owning the home.
