For Every Man....A Man Cave


For those of us that spend time on the living room couch trying to enjoy leftovers and a cold one. Only to be rudely interrupted by the old lady, telling us to take out the trash or reminding us of our mother in law's brother's dog's cousin's owner's birthday coming up. Or the kids jumping all over you, while you attempt to rewind the DVR to catch what you missed of your favorite show. I have a proposal.

Get away.

But where you ask?

Assemble a modern man cave. And yes, I am sure we all have something close to what we consider our "go to place" to get away. The gym, the basement, the garage or even the bar. But maybe we need a jazzed up version that we can consider our domain of domains.

A entertainment center with all the fixin's or a sports haven with wall to wall getup of your favorite teams. A quite retreat for the boys to sit at a table and worry about nothing but whether or not your two pair are beat by trips. Or a cellar filled with your favorite lagers, stouts, liquors, wines and cigars. A game room to satisfy your competitiveness or a music room to drown out the world's lip smackers.

These are all great possibilities. Most of which are given in picture form at a CNN.com iReport interactive page found here.

The idea of leaving the real world to escape into my very own shell might be considered for introducing new hobbies or practices. Who knows, you might find that a good amount of time by yourself might improve your card game, pool game or drinking abilities. Although some smart individual once said that there is a fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

All I know is I unfortunately lack the funds or space to put together my very own man cave. If I could call anything my man cave, it would be that well lit atmosphere in the depths of my imagination that typically hides behind a forty of malt liquor and a twelve pack of beer.

There are also plenty other sites to visit and check out man caves around the world. Try Tothemancave.com or Mancavegroup.com.
