Synopsis: This text presentation piece contains elements of video and audio. It is a  straight forward PowerPoint style presentation in which the narrator works to assert to the viewer what the elements of manliness really are. Beginning with bullet points and short phrases, the narrator quickly becomes bogged down in his examples, ultimately throwing off his initial stand and slowly reworking his views until he is pleading for his girlfriend to return home to him.  In essence the presentation becomes a sort of apology for a domestic dispute and an attempt at transcendence and redemption.
