      So when we're old and decreped we can look back and see what we thought of the world? That's why I do it.

      I've had a diary/journal since first grade. I hardly ever write in it, but it's a great place to rant, or just think. I don't know why men can't have one, it's hardly a girly thing at all. Granted, I'm a girl, but still...

      Yeah, exactly what I was thinking when I read what he put.

      I still prefer the term Journal, though.

      Worrying that something might not be "manly" is very unmanly.

      Hey.. whatever happened to the "man-purse"?

      It takes a really secure man to carry off a man-purse!

      Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purse:: Purses are usually carried by women, though men sometimes carry one as a smaller alternative to a backpack; such a purse is sometimes self-consciously termed a murse or manbag (portmanteaus "man" with "purse" and "handbag" respectively). It can also be called a man-purse. Such bags are often similar or identical to messenger bags.

      "murse"
