A funny thing seems to happen around the holidays… people are nicer for no apparent reason. I don’t personally celebrate any religious holidays but I find the typical public decorum to be quite amusing around this time of year. Fellow employees at my job are jovial and much more interested in my welfare and made sure they went around to [...]

I just finished watching the movie Source Code and have to say that it is the first movie in quite a long time to have such a profound impact on me. I’ll be the first to admit that I live for movies and music and that I am a deeply emotional person, but the storyline and concept of Source Code [...]

The older I get, the less I understand the actions of those around me. Perhaps that is why I chose Economics as my course of study in college, to better understand why people make the decisions they do.

While the bill does offer some solutions that USPS would undoubtedly achieve on their own without government control, I think less is more here and [...]

A Kiss This is becoming my favorite track on the new Bad Meets Evil album featuring Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″. The lyrics in this song are crazy and the way that both artists string them together is nothing short of amazing. Best lyric of the track: “Tell Gaga she can quit her job at the post office, she’s still [...]

As a diehard Eminem fan, I picked up the new Bad Meets Evil album that was released today. Bad Meets Evil is a rap duo composed of Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″. During D12′s rise in popularity, Eminem and Royce parted ways and have since reunited to release an incredible debut hip hop album that truly showcases the lyrical ability [...]
