Awesome Men Throughout History: Louis L’Amour

I’ve been playing through Red Dead Redemption over the past week (what? I’m a sucker for sandbox games), and the experience has reminded me how much I love westerns.

By the time you read this, either the San Antonio Spurs will have won the 2013 NBA title, or you?ll be preparing for Game 7 with a big bowl of tortilla chips slathered with chicken, tomatoes, chives and cheese and a big side of guacamole. (Watching major sporting events means nachos. Seriously. Go make some.

The Self-Made Man: Sean Belnick

A decent amount of the successful men profiled in this Self Made Men column were precocious go-getters as kids, but they were still kids, and they generally didn’t start getting serious and making money until they were at least old enough to vote.

Top Five Movies of Aubrey Plaza
