And a big, big pop culture fan. I grew up on television. I grew up on radio. Although I wasn’t a big fan of MTV. Don’t get me wrong I watched it but I wasn’t as enthralled as everyone else was. I mean, there’s only so many times […]
A few years back comedian Lewis Black in a bit but still remains in my, almost everyday, consciousness. He noted in his skit “if it wasn’t for my horse I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.” Some things in life are so absurd but you just have […]

I have to admit to something. I did not watch Star Wars as a kid when it first came out. I actually didn’t watch Star Wars (any of the three original ones) until I was in college. I also had never seen Its a Wonderful Life until I […]
A few years ago, I used to travel a ton for work. One of the places I had to go to, at least once a year, was Puerto Rico. My Spanish was not the greatest but I certainly tried my best to communicate and get my points […]
Happiness is a great feeling to experience. That goes without saying. We live experience happiness and grow because of sadness. Or so I think that is what that movie Inside Out was trying to tell us as a whole. Sadness is a key experience of our lives. Children […]
