5 Epiphanies You Have At 36
1.) The music of Bruce Hornsby suddenly stirs your soul. 2.) You curse your favorite baseball team for signing an over-the-hill player… and he’s 2 years younger than you. 3.) A current first-year college student was born in 1993 – the year you started college. 4.) They are remaking the classic movies of your youth.…

There’s No Saving The Pro Bowl. Or Is There?
It’s nothing new under the Hawaiian sun that the NFL Pro Bowl has, for years, failed miserably to achieve its main objective: to entertain fans (that sentence may be an early contender for Understatement of 2012). For as long as my NFL memory stretches, the game has at its best been watchable for about a…

Common Myths Debunked. Thank Me Later.
In recent years, I’ve become interested in dispelling myths. Well, not me personally – that takes a lot of effort and enterprise, two qualities that wax and wane greatly within me.

It seems that…

A Post About Movie Posters
Take a look at any movie poster from the early ’80s or ’70s and one thing stands out- they’re incredibly wordy. Whereas nowadays there’s just a short tagline, back then they threw paragraphs on there. Seriously, sometimes it looks like they stapled the entire script to the poster. I understand that we all have the…

Wasn’t The Afterschool Special Special?
There are many relics from yesteryear that I (and in many cases, only I) look upon with fondness. The USFL. Music videos on MTV. Using my phone as, well, a phone. Whatever became of of the Afterschool Special? Growing up is hard, but this anthology of angst set us straight on the whatnots of adolescence, serving up…
