I’ve never been a casual listener of music. Try as I might, listening to music for the sake of hearing sound has never done it for me. Even as far back as fourth grade I can distinctly remember sitting at our dining room listening to Color Me Badd and recording specific songs on to blank […]
Over the past few months I’ve found myself reading biographies on people that lived well before modern times. One of the things that struck me as particularly interesting was the way writers went about gathering information on their subjects. There were no TV interviews to watch, no documents left behind on the internet, and no living relatives […]
To avoid writers block I always like to pick up “writing prompt” books when I see them on sale at Barnes & Noble. One such book is known as The Philosophers Notebook. Inside you can find brief biographies explaining the philosophies of 20 bright minds found throughout history. Along with the biographies you’re typically given two […]

As the great Borat once said “wawa wee waa“! This game right here is what I was talking about when I said I love hockey in May. The Pittsburgh Penguins found themselves up 3-0 on the Caps, only to give up their lead and end up in OT tied 3-3. Normally, I would have felt […]
