Wrist time pieces

Why are watches an essential part of a man's wardrobe? This time piece not only tells the time but also reflects the personality of the owner. I personally feel that one can tell a lot from a watch, and how it fits with the person, and their style. I enjoy a nice watch that is infused with quality as well as style. I own a Nixon Esquire CS, I really enjoy this watch because of it's functionality but also because of it's smart design and style. Early on in my stay in Europe it fell from a table and broke a plastic casing inside the watch. I later took it to a friend who worked for a swiss watch making company to repair it and was told that the plastic was cheap and could not be replaced but that the watch would function with this break. To say the least I was disappointed with the quality of Nixon's watch's and at that point vowed that I would never but another non-swiss made watch. I then found this green lil beauty. I love the functionality of a calculator watch and have found that many people that I have looked up to in my life be it business men, professors, or mission presidents have all had calculator watches. No they are worth the investment. I love the colour combined with the calculator function to provide a super dope watch. Look out for this sucker on my wrist.

Monsters from the land of Merka

Merkin's My Favourite animal.

The Merkin's native country is Merka which is located in north western europe. I stumbled upon a Merkin while serving a full time mission for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, in the fine city of Besancon. I was enthralled by the capacity that a merkin has to shapeshift, it's primary defensive mechanism. The artists depiction of a merkin is quite accurate as the beast is completely covered with hair and after it shapeshifts it remains completely covered in hair. Other interesting facts about Merkins are that it only needs to consume Merkalite, a liquid substance that we would compare to a milkshake, in order to survive.
The average life expectancy of a Merkin is 30 yrs, after which the merkin goes to a place called Merktopia, the paradise for merkins if you will. No merkin has ever been murdered as they are invincible to all human and animal attacks, but rather can choose to die at a younger age.
