Establishing Your [Mostly Professional] Internet Prescence
Google pretty much has the answers to everything, even to yourself—at least when it comes to your present and future employers.

Is Social Networking Making Us Antisocial?
Today the media is not what it used to be. Communication in the past was simple and meaningful. Before the internet there were limited sources of information we had to rely on. The culture was then adapting to a limited mass media market, as was the limitation imposed on our intellect. However, the reality today […]
Star Power and Explosive Action Hit the Mark in ‘Expendables 2′

Silent But Not Invisible – The Fathers of Attachment Parenting
“You know, I struggle to find balance in my life after having a baby, too!” my husband exclaimed after one of our parenting discussions that eventually led to me venting about how moms get the short end of the stick and how tough our jobs really are, etc., etc. I knew he was joking, but […]

Three days into my summer vacation (which, being a college student, started in mid-May) I suddenly stopped to look at myself. There were fast-food bags on my nightstand. I’d hardly left my bed other than to get food and use the restroom. I’d been churning through recorded tv shows and movies at a ridiculous rate. […]

The Beauty of Failure
Failure sucks. When you have fallen short of reaching your goals, you cannot help but feel a tremendous blow to your confidence and self-worth. As the antithesis of success, failure is a condition that we strive to avoid in all of our efforts. But by doing this, we may miss the beauty of failure.
The Canadian Foodie: Adventures in Ramen-Eating
Ah, ramen. “Wheat noodles” in Japanese, and absolutely delicious in every language. A dish so heavenly that there have literally been songs written about it. Or at the very least, animated cat videos.
Drinking and Driving with Jerry Seinfeld in “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”
It’s been a whopping fourteen years since Seinfeld ended its run on NBC, but you might not even have noticed since the show currently runs all over the world in syndication and has become a television staple for many. One of my best friends introduced me to the show and since then I have not stopped laughing! […]
It May Not Be Cooperstown But Dan Wilson Deserves This Hall Of Fame
On the outside, Dan Wilson’s career statistics do not appear Hall of Fame worthy. A batting average of .262. A total of 88 home runs and 519 runs batted in. Though his .995 career fielding percentage and many of his other fielding statistics are some of the best all-time for a catcher, it would take […]
Pitcher Perfect: Three Months of Magic on the Mound
In baseball, the number of runs is what determines the winners and the losers—at least according to the scoreboard. All the hits and trips to home plate are the results of power and strategy by the men in the batter’s box and the ones rounding the bases. However, it’s the men on the mound on […]
