When one thinks of me (The Duke) you either have rising thoughts of incredulity as to several aspects of my life. (Just please go along with this little narcissistic piece please, I assure you Im way more humble than this blog will make it out to be be.) I usually get asked these questions:
Where do you get your money?
Why are you moving there?
How do you land in such lucky situations?
You get the point. However, this can all be attributed to one universal truth. God. No joke. Me and the JC have been in business for years, "and brother... business is a boomin'". I also have a personality that can sometimes be either extremely over-whelming, undoubtedly reserved, suave or Carrot Top awkward. This does not preclude me from attempting to appear... "awesome". Here is a few tips off my list, that may help you, or cause you to stumble...
1. Never miss a chance to blair AC/DC from your car or truck. It makes people think you dive from explosions on a weekly basis.
2. Watch westerns. You can relate to your fathers generation a lot more, and plus people might assume you have a desire to paint your neighborhood red and cross-out your town's welcoming sign and put HELL! (High Plains Drifter)
3. Drink high end beers, and white trash beers. It says, yeah Im sophisticated, but if you fuck with me, Ill smash this Pabst Blue Ribbon over your head then go Bass fishing."
4. Travel as much as you can... and not just to Europe. Go to places where friends will elevate you to a Busch league Indiana Jones. If you can go by yourself and rely on your international savvy.
5. HUNT... or shoot, or own more than 2 guns... this is a general one. Dont try and substitute this with easter egg HUNTS, or owning a line of Super Soakers, or potato guns. Well potato guns are pretty cool.
6. Have friends that are slightly crazier than you. One group of friends forced me to run and jump over a moving train, jump in an ice hole in February (polar bear club), cliff jump into a quarry, and fit my 185 pound physique into a tight as hell cave in the Ozarks.
7. In regards to romance, treat yourself like a catch. Anyone who ends up with you is gonna be one lucky person.
8. Love your family and friends with the love God has given you.
9. Go to church, pray, read your Bible, take time and invest in the body of Christ.
10. Be yourself. This list is full of crap (except the last few entries). We all have a "list", but its tailored to our personality, and God, as well as the people in your life enjoy you for your personality, your quirks and your heart.
