How much is your entire life worth? Your home, your car, your job, your friends, your lifestyle. Just as a guess, what price would you put on it? Priceless? Maybe not.
A man in Australia recently sold his for approximately $400K.
Seriously.
The person who purchased it has his three-bedroom house, his 19-year-old Mazda, a motorbike, a boat, [...]

My dad and I didn’t agree on much when I was growing up. He liked things like the Patriots, the Sox, the Bs and the Cs. He liked skiing and smoking and going to Hampton Beach. He liked going to the track and racing horses. Most of these things I did not like - even [...]

OK, I’m not proud of this, but I actually owned the CD “Hangin’ Tough” in the late 80s. I never admitted to anyone that I was a NKOTB fan (New Kids on the Block, yo), but I was. Of course I was. The formula works, for better or for worse, because girls need something to [...]

OK, Radar magazine. You had me at one glance. I, most definitely, am not a Millennial. Thank GOD, or else everything in this blog would either be misspelled, ungrammatical, or punctuated with ‘like’.
Sign me up for the X revolution!
This is important enough to post in full:
Generation Slap

I like Obama. Not as much as Hilary, but there you go. I also like John McCain.
I am, however, sick of hearing about “change”.
I’m even more sick of hearing about “hope”.
These are, for the most part, empty rhetorical devices, bandied about by people who want to get elected into the hot seat that is the [...]

What would we do without those crazy people in our lives?
You know:
The guy at the meeting that always has a question, even though the meeting is running late and you’re missing lunch?
The woman who meticulously labels all of her items in the office refrigerator and accuses people of taking one of her diet cokes?

Because I always seem to blog on a Monday morning. Maybe that is because I am procrastinating the beginning of yet another week. Which I’m usually afraid is going to suck.
But not for much longer!
The perk of being in academia is definitely the summer break. This summer, I have every intention of finishing my second [...]

Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair Pics vs. Pictures of Underage Models: What’s the diff?
[Is this also a 'sick' or 'sexual' photo? I suppose it's what we make of it. You could see a loving father/daughter or incest. I, personally, see a picture of two beautiful people who happen to be related.]
