James Dean on Fearlessness

I'm a lone cowboy this Christmas. I had a friend offer me his apartment whilst he was out of town and flew into New York - which is an amazing place!

I was walking around Central Park near Columbus Circle and saw some old-vintage style metal plaques and had to buy one for this blog on courage with James Dean.

Happy New Year - what are the crazy cowboy things that you're going to do next year in 2012?

Cowboy Boots!

It's been a long 2 weeks since I've posted but there's been a lot of cowboy stuff happening. I've been looking for some good old cowboy boots in none other than the legendary Carnaby St in London - home of the fashion boutique.

I was walking around looking for inspiration and it hit me - at Levis. None other than a set of perfect cowboy style boots.

The best thing about these boots were they are leather inside and outside and are made to last. Just like the Levi Strauss and Co General Store would have approved back in the 1800's.

The only problem.... they didn't have my size! So I'm going to have to tap on over to the US to get these cowboy boots!

Draw, Darby!

I'm looking for inspiration ... and reading a book about Navy Seals... and I think to myself. What would a cowboy do. Well I actually think to myself what would Chuck Norris do but then I figure not many cowboys actually know kung fu.

I decide to research what the quintessential cowboy should have - quick draw and gun skills.

I learn about Howard Darby - the world champion trick shooter. Not just a quick draw this fella is accurate too. See the video at 2m 31s and you'll find out how.

Time to get down to the range and learn how to shoot!
