badass

A couple of months ago I wrote an article teaching you how to be a badass. In case you missed it, [intlink id="704" type="post"]check this out[/intlink]. Well since you guys seemed to love it, and we could all use a little advice on being a badass, I decided to give you part 2 on How To Be A Badass.  Enjoy!
