Take “greens” on an Empty Stomach
Over the years, I’m sure I didn’t void all the benefits of daily greens by taking them “with food.” But that’s what I was doing. I’m a multivitamin-guy and I come from a multivitamin-family. My Mom swore by multivitamins and before it was cool… Continue Reading “Take “greens” on an Empty Stomach”
The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know
I was lucky. My parents had a wonderful, normal, healthy relationship. I met my soulmate when I was 15 and started dating her when I was 18 (going on 19) and we’ve been together ever since. She’s normal. SHw as normal then. And is… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of All (My) Time, #7: Somebody That I Used to Know”
2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1
I’m totally stealing this from author, speaker, storyteller, teacher, all-around-great-guy and guru, Matthew Dicks. I envy him and idolize him. For years, he publicly lists all his goals and then, equally publicly, updates his progress. Good and bad. Successes and failures. It’s what makes… Continue Reading “2025 Goals Check-In, Month-1”
Super Bowl Halftime Should Have a Pop-Up Video or Manning Cast Option
I’m old. Not really, but when it comes to modern hip-hop, I’m as old as my uncles were in 1985 when they would “beat box” at family gatherings and say, “that’s all rap is,” …and they’d make puh, puh, huff, huff sounds. Kendrick Lamar… Continue Reading “Super Bowl Halftime Should Have a Pop-Up Video or Manning Cast Option”
Signature Brands, Part 1: Shave Cream
My shaving life has been torture on my face and neck. When I started shaving, I think I used Barbasol. And for my teens and 20s, and into my 30s, my post-shave life was filled with acne, sensitive skin, razor burn and rashes. I… Continue Reading “Signature Brands, Part 1: Shave Cream”
The Top-10 Songs of all (My) Time, Part 3
It’s important to the world-at-large that I finish this project where I tell you my favorite ten songs of all time. Remember, these are my all-time favorite songs and was born of Rolling Stones‘s attempt to define the 100 Greatest Songs and 100 Greatest Albums of… Continue Reading “The Top-10 Songs of all (My) Time, Part 3”
Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids
I’m writing this Blog entry on what would’ve been my Mom’s 79th birthday. Happy heavenly birthday, Mom. My siblings and I are “80s Kids”. Born in the ’70s and grew-up in the ’80s. Star Wars. GI Joe. MTV. After school specials. The Cosby Show.… Continue Reading “Mary Lou and the Cabbage Patch Kids”
I Want In-Ear Communication Devices (A Review of Back in Action on Netflix)
I’m not a movie snob. I’m a proud member of the “mass” part of “the masses” and “mass media and entertainment.” So when Netlflix drops a movie with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx and tells me that movie has fighting, guns, and explosions and… Continue Reading “I Want In-Ear Communication Devices (A Review of Back in Action on Netflix)”
Let’s Stop Using Hypophora (If You’re Not Going to Use it Correctly)
In 2025, let’s stop using hypophora in speaking and writing – unless you do it correctly. See what I did there? I wrote a clear, concise statement of opinion. Too many people, in real life, are using hypophora or anthypophora – figures of speech… Continue Reading “Let’s Stop Using Hypophora (If You’re Not Going to Use it Correctly)”
Commercial Critique: Discover Card
I’m a stickler for a good commercial. I overanalyze commercials. Probably because I consider myself part of the “advertising community”. The latest commercial I’ve noticed is from Discover Card and features Matt Leinart. In this ad, a guy (a Dad/dude) notices he’s standing next… Continue Reading “Commercial Critique: Discover Card”
