Top Five Destinations of Oklahoma City

I had taken a bit of time before thinking about visiting Oklahoma City because in the past year it suffered a terrible tragedy when an F5 tornado hit in the vicinity and it seemed frivolous to discuss my ideas on tourism. So, I gave it some time, and I realized that when I came back

The Self-Made Man: Chris Hardwick

Top Five Movies of Aunjanue Ellis

Working at a movie theater intensifies my passion for movies. In 2000, I was working in a theater and ?Men of Honor? came out, starring Aunjanue Ellis (as well as Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Robert DeNiro) and it was ok. It was well done. It was an inspirational film based on a true story. However,

Yes, it seems like they are everywhere and they permeate every minute and moment

Awesome Men Throughout History: Amos Neyhart

We just got our first snow of the season here in Baltimore, and as predicted, the whole city went crazy and forgot how to drive. Baltimore drivers aren’t much good behind the wheel at the best of times, so you can imagine what we’re like when conditions aren’t ideal. That notwithstanding, we’re all still lucky

Top Five Destinations of Las Cruces, NM

Back in 2000 or so, I started to order CDs online. I ordered them from a particular site that I can?t remember now and that no longer exists. However, I?m still thankful for one bright marketing idea they had ? they sent me ?Decoration Day? as performed by Drive By Truckers for free. Now, I

The Self-Made Man: Super Dragon

This week’s Self Made Man is making a go of it in perhaps the most unforgiving, capital-scarce industry there is: independent professional wrestling. At a time when venture capital is vital to the success or failure of startups, pro wrestling might as well be a square hole for would-be promoters to throw money into; even
