From a purely humanistic approach, life is not about how fast you can run or how high you can climb over the obstacles. The value as to the purpose of life may pertain to a higher purpose of confronting ultimate reality; to live one’s dreams, to matter in life, to count and to stand for […]

Skyfall: Sexy Times with Fabulous Blondes
Skyfall marks the Bond franchise’s 50th anniversary but don’t go thinking 007 is ready for retirement. The new Bond film is a thrilling spectacle that feels fresh, modern, relevant and not a day over 22.
Too Old for a Best Friend?
We don’t go through life searching for one soul mate, we actually want at the very least two. One to “fall in love with” who fulfills our romantic dreams and desires, our better half, someone to start a family with perhaps, and secondly, we want a soul mate who completes us in, well, every other […]
Everybody Poops! Talking Crap for World Toilet Day
There’s no other way around it, but the fact is that we all poop. Didn’t expect to read that sentence now, did you? It may sound funny to say out loud, but we all do it. That gorgeous girl you saw at the bar who smiled at you last night? Well, she probably did it […]
‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Earns High Score with Clever Script and Gaming Nostalgia
Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph can easily be described as video games galore. The film’s opening – complete with an 8-bit title card – is a prime example. We’re taken inside the world of a popular arcade game called Fix-It Felix Jr., an 8-bit throwback to Nintendo’s 1981 classic, Donkey Kong. Here, we meet Wreck-It Ralph (John […]
Newcomer in New Orleans
I have to say, I couldn’t have chosen a better time to see the city of New Orleans, Louisiana this summer, from a writer’s perspective. I went at the end of August – on the cusp of the New Orleans Saints football franchise’s start to a season without coaching prodigy, Sean Payton. I went just […]
Are We All Just “Ordinary” People?
They say it’s easy you know, to choose left or right. They say it’s the same as any two choices, like black or white, straight or curved, up or down, or even wet and dry. They say it’s simple, like making toast. Pop in the bread and press the button, right? Well what if the […]
Heartbreak City: When You Just Can’t Get Out
Sometimes it seems like we’re just stuck in Heartbreak City. It’s a place bigger than a town and smaller than a state, yet you can’t see it with your eyes or hear it with your ears. You can only feel it with your heart. It’s a tough place to be caught in, because once you […]
The Hearts of Giants: Reflections of a Championship Baseball Team
How do you explain coming back from series deficits twice? How do you explain winning your do-or-die game through a manufactured run and an error? How do you explain getting pummeled by a guy almost twice your size at second base, only to see the next five games through to become a championship MVP? How […]
“Juan of the Dead”: Mojitos and Zombies
Juan of the Dead is a Cuban zombie movie that combines blood spatter with Caribbean flavor and political undertones. There’s a bunch of stuff that I never thought I’d write together in a sentence. While politics and comedy in zombie movies are nothing new (Juan of the Dead‘s title borrows from British comedy Shaun of […]
Spooky Halloween Spider Brownie Bites
By now, many of you are scrambling to put together your costume (yup, we know, another Target run) and maybe you’re even wondering if you should pick up a carton of one of those pre-frosted Halloween sugar cookies, since you just remembered telling the hostess you’d bring something. Or, maybe you are noticing for the first time […]

The 5 Scariest Treehouse of Horror Episodes of The Simpsons
The Simpsons has pretty much gone hand in hand with Halloween ever since they aired the first Treehouse of Horror during their second season. Since then, every season has seen Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie transplanted into everything from famous horror movies to the presidential election. Though the Treehouse of Horror episodes have gotten […]
