Kicking it old-school style gratitude Every morning on my way in to work I pass a huge billboard that says “gratitude.” I have not quite bothered to figure out what the billboard is trying to sell -I recognize that sounds a bit jaded-but the phrase has been on […]
The year is 2013 and tongue lashings are all the rage. Thanks in large part to a Ms. Miley Cyrus. You may have heard of her. She has literally been pushing her tongue to and fro and side to side. I bet she did well as a teenage girl […]
