There's no time like the present...

We're always saying "I want to..." and "In the future..." - guys, there's no time like the present! As clichéd as this may sound, I think that we should stop delaying change and just make it happen. Don't like your job? Find a new one. Don't like what's in your wardrobe? Get some new clothes (why should money really be an issue with charity shops, sales & vintage shops). Maybe you're in a relationship that isn't working - don't flog a dead relationship; change it. We're so set on what we "eventually want" and how we perceive ourselves in 5 years time - that we seem to have forgotten the present. Live for the now. Make that change, clear out your closet. Don't spend to long staring at your '5 year plan' (I hate these American things - they can sometimes work, but why delay goals?).

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning."
- Albert Einstein.

Not to sound incredibly grim (can you tell I'm about to say something grim), we're not going to live forever. I love this song that US rock band The Grass Roots released in 1967 - really encapsulates this message. That's another lesson, always listen to your elders!! Listen to this group of gents:

The Nobleman: An Introduction...

"A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out."
George Bernard Shaw

England has been bombarded with mixed messages as to what a Gentleman is. The Nobleman has been created to ensure that we all don't grow up to become clones of the lads mag culture, making us all believe that 'literature' is staring at the latest reality stars' breasts. We expect an Englishman to be much more than this and promote art, fashion, culture and the heritage of the gentleman.

Here to raise an awareness of music and fashion that time seems to have forgotten, we expect the readers of this blog to join in and create an active community between young Nobleman of England, and in fact - the world.
