31 Days Without A Cigarette: A Retrospective

I usually don’t post things like this here, but I did something that I thought I’d never do, and I wanted to give it a bit more space than Twitter will allow, so I’m gonna talk about it here: I wanted to give myself a birthday gift this year: 30 days without a cigarette. Today

Bye, Geoffrey: Why I Won’t Be Crying Over Toys “R” Us’ Closing

Toys “R” Us doesn’t deserve your sympathy. Its thousands of newly unemployed workers do.

Chasing Nirvana: An Introduction

  There is a rather robust argument over how we measure and define creativity. But what most schools have in common is one simple concept: ideas only count if we do something about them. That idea that you had while you were reading on the toilet? It means nothing if you don’t do anything about

We Watch Comic Book Trailers: Deadpool

Tom Moore III: Let’s start with something easy. Deadpool. Out of all the properties Fox has screwed up, THIS is the thing they seem to get right. A couple of the trailers have hinted at a little bit of heart too, which keeps Deadpool from being tedious. R-Son: It’s not easy to screw up. Deadpool

Hurray!

Rachel Dolezal is broke. All those jobs and I guess she didn’t save any money. No one will hire her. She has been debased and mocked for months, and almost no one likes her or believes her. She is more of a curiosity than anything else. She has a teenage son to raise by herself.

Because I needed to make space

So just to beat a dead horse, Caitlyn Jenner.\ Because there hasn’t been enough written coverage of Bruce Jenner’s transformation from male to female. Or enough opinions spewed forth all over social media. I’ll preface this rant with, yes, I know I am probably not saying anything that hasn’t been said. That said, ohmygod, WHO

I am Tired of Pooping

  I started a new job last week and I had to poop. This was a big deal for me. Let me back up a little bit. I have said this a million times, but I’ve never written it. Our service culture is based heavily on the idea of prostitution. The idea of the bordello,

“The F*@k Is This Sh#t?”: Lady Gaga’s Applause is The sound of one hand clapping

Since the beginning of her now infamous career, Lady Gaga has done many things right: She’s a capable, if unextraordinary songwriter, and she benefited from above average production that drove you to your feet and demanded your attention. She demanded that attention in other ways as well: Her public persona screams “Hey, look at me”

George Zimmerman, Roderick Scott and the Champions of False Equivalency

In the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial (which Tom and Myself have covered already), I was ready to move on. It was a tragic situation made all the worse by the entitled perpetrator walking away scot-free while a young man’s life was lost. Dwelling on it only made me angrier, so I decided not to.

NOT Guilty?!?!?

Before yesterday, I thought there was no way Zimmerman walked, because there’s no way someone could possibly get away with killing an unarmed teenager in cold blood. Thanks, George. I’m awake now. George Zimmerman was found not guilty yesterday. On all counts. This case has hit home for me in a number of ways. First,
