This week’s beard is another obvious winner, but I decided to do it anyway because this man is just so darn handsome (dare I say, even without a beard?), that I had to.
I can’t count how many times I’ve used the phrase, “Oh, he’s a total Clooney.” And with good reason, beard lovers, I present you with Mr. George Clooney!
I mean, the smile, the eyes, and the obnoxious amount of charm Continue reading
Welcome back!
This week’s beard is one I didn’t even know existed. My interest was piqued after watching Mrs. Doubtfire for the seven millionth time since I was four years old. I said, “Man, that Pierce Brosnan is a total hunk…I wonder…”
Off to Google I went and I found THIS Continue reading
I’d like to take a moment to congratulate our own Andee for accepting a job offer today with a newspaper. A job transition (let alone transitioning into a writing job) is no easy task, particularly in this economy. Those of you who have read Andee’s articles have probably 1) enjoyed them, and 2) recognized his wide array of knowledge, talent and wit. As I understand it, he will be a sports writer and also doing some special interest pieces. Now his readership will be deservedly expanded.
This just goes to show that at least some of the shit that goes on this site is worthy of publication. Conrats, Andee!
This week’s beard is one I’m newly obsessed with.
Ladies and gents, Ryan Gosling!
I’ve been watching his movies all week, and let me say, he’s just plain wonderful. There’s nothing better than the image of him hacking away at a piece of wood in the Notebook. Movie? Not so great. Beard? Stellar. Continue reading
I was going to write an article about my favorite things about 2011, but then I realized I am not in fact Oprah, and no one probably cares about what my favorite things are.
I have decided to write about something else though, something that has been coming up more in recent months than it ever has before. Apparently people are often confused about my feelings for them? Now, with a little alcohol I’m pretty much an open book about any of my thoughts, but honestly, I’ve always considered myself pretty friendly and usually approachable. I do tend to wear my feelings Continue reading
Right before midnight on New Years Eve, while I was still plugging away at my Top 11 Albums article, I received an email from wordpress.com outlining some of the site’s statistics in 2011. I’m proud to say that in the first six months we had almost 5,000 views, we published a combined 129 articles and, believe or not, we’ve had visits from readers on the six inhabited continents: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. When I first started the site, I knew that I couldn’t do anything by myself. So, I solicited some of my gifted (and opinionated) friends to write. I want to thank all of you who have contributed this year and I hope that you stay interested and active in 2012.
What wordpress didn’t do was highlight the major players on The Self-Hating Hipster this year and so I thought I owed it to my friends who were extremely dedicated to posting, collaborating with me (i.e. putting up with my bullshit) and ready to offer creative criticism despite how busy they are. Continue reading
It’s that time again. That 3-5 week period where we pretend like we’re going to start exercising or flossing. Where we forget how old we are because we assume that our birthdays are in someway related to the calendar year. Where we are reminded that we are now one year closer to the apocalypse…whoops, now it’s months away.
I have made a list of a few things that I want to make happen in 2012:
1) Try more competitive eating challenges. I always had a knack for it and I’d like to start making some money for going to pound town. Continue reading
This week’s beard was a long time coming. He’s The Dude, he’s that bad guy in Iron Man, he’s got True Grit, he stares at goats, he’s…I forget what other movies he’s in, but do you know what I’ll never forget?
HIS BEARD!
Look at this hunk when he Continue reading
Last week was finals week so I gave myself permission to take a break, but I’m back and ready to share the wonderful beards of the world with…the world…
Anyway, Sunday is Christmas, and for all of you who are either Christian or just slaves to our consumer-driven culture, we all know that Santa is kind of this weeks honoree by default. But! I decided since he’s not real, I’m not going to make him the sole honoree this week. Hell, I’m not even gonna put his picture up!
This post is 100% created by my friend Justin, he both gave me a dude to honor and told me what to include. I’m just giving credit where credit is due.
So this week let’s take a look at sports. Basketball, anyone?
James Harden apparently Continue reading
Let’s take a trip across the pond, over to our dear friend, Russia!
While there we’re going to visit one of the most prolific realist fiction authors and greatest novelist of all time, Mr. Leo Tolstoy!!
All that greatness aside, wouldn’t you want this dude to just be your grandpa?
