What is Haastility?

What does it mean to be hostile?

Dictionary.com defines it like this:

–adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of an enemy: a hostile nation.
2. opposed in feeling, action, or character; antagonistic: hostile criticism.
3. characterized by antagonism.
4. not friendly, warm, or generous; not hospitable.
–noun
5. a person or thing that is antagonistic or unfriendly.
6. Military. an enemy soldier, plane, ship, etc.

However, being "Haastile" is a completely different ideology.

In order to attain true Haastility, an individual must display at least three of the five characteristics, set forth by the ancient Haastile Charter.

Here they are, in no particular order:

1. Say whatever is on your mind. You may hurt some feelings, but people will always say that you speak your mind and are truthful.

2. Carry yourself well. Don't act like an asshole, but never seem timid either. This is far easier said than done.

3. Know a little about a lot. Pulling random facts out of thin air seems silly, but in the long run, it's just impressive.

4. Be the man. The go-to guy (or girl...no sexists here). People want to hear your opinion on things, mainly because it's either insightful or funny.

5. Be Bryan Haas.

The main thing to remember here kids is this; anything is Haas-able.
