A Letter to the Girl I Ghosted
Dear Girl I Ghosted, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have totally vanished like that. But I didn't know what else to do. I took the easy way out and maybe now I'm just writing this to ease my guilty conscience. We were sitting at your favorite Chinese take-out spot at a small...
Need a Quick, Easy and Free Logo? Here’s Where to Get One
Canva is the best place for a quick, easy and free logo. You build the logo yourself. If you have a vision, it's easy to do. If you don't have anything in mind, you can get ideas from looking through their pre-made roll of logos. I tried a couple others that I found...
5 Resolutions to Achieve Your “New Year, New You” Resolutions
Every year, millions of people make resolutions. Every year, millions of people fail at their resolutions. Why do we fail? Do we not want it bad enough? Maybe sometimes. But I think most of the failings are due to the lack of a clear vision and strategy. How do you...
The Big Bang Theory isn’t Provable and The Pope is Wrong
The Big Bang Theory is exactly that: theory. Meaning: not proven. And in this case: unprovable. So, the Pope is wrong. For some reason, people on my FB feed were sharing this recently which is why I'm addressing it. Nobody was there when the earth started and we don't...
I Sometimes Wish I was a Really Hot Girl
I admit it. From time to time, I wish I was a really hot girl. They get thousands of likes/comments on a basic photo of themselves. They can get a million followers for doing practically nothing (but be hot). If they're smart, they can turn all that into revenue...
New Years Resolutions for Everyone but White Men
You probably heard MTV had some New Year's Resolutions for white men to "be better." Most people can't get away with such disgusting over generalizations (a British bloke carves up the video). If anyone had done that about any other race/sex (the video from the black...
The Fight for 15 is a Failure
In the "least surprising economic news of 2016" we have this from McDonald's. What do ya know? It's cheaper to have a tablet take an order and payment than pay someone $15/hour to ask if the customer would like fries with their meal. Well... I guess some people have...
I Have a Tiny Penis and I’m Terrified of Sex
I'm not. And I don't (or do I have a tiny penis? and does it matter?). But I needed to get your attention to these issues and I knew that would work. The thought has crossed many a dude's mind, "Do I have a tiny penis?" For the guys reading this who are worried about...
A Basic Income Won’t Kill Motivation or End Capitalism
Basic income often gets booed by highly motivated workers claiming that it will be used by free loaders and everyone will stop working and the world will end. Pretty dramatic for giving people just enough money to pay for food, clothes and shelter. In the above linked...
American Football has Peaked
We've seen the peak of American Football. It had a good run. Those saying, "No way! Football forever! What will replace it?" A) Boxing and horse racing were the top sports by a large margin in the early 20th century. 80 years later - nobody cared except for...
The Vols, aka “Champions of Life”, are the poster boys for Entitled Millennials
They were a Top 10 team. Talks of a championship game appearance. The trophy was already theirs to lose. Then, the season happened. They didn't roll through easy opponents. They fell behind in most games they had no business making close. They lost to average teams....
Save Money on Your Smartphone
How can you save money on your smartphone? Get a smartphone with a microSD slot. That way you can expand the storage without having to upgrade the whole phone just for more/clean storage space. And now that we're getting wifi almost everywhere... you may not even need...
