Awesome Men Throughout History: William Castle

I just realized earlier this week that I haven’t seen a movie in an actual theater in a really long time. This isn’t something I’m proud of, mind you; I went to the movies a lot as a kid and part of me still wants that communal experience. Unfortunately, going to the movies kind of

Top Five Destinations of Jacksonville

When I think of Jacksonville, I don?t think about beaches. I don?t think about the Atlantic Ocean. I don?t think about the South. I don?t even think about Florida. I think about the Archers. What are the Archers, you ask? It was one of the names bandied about as a possible name for a NFL

The Self-Made Man: Aaron Patzer

Top Five Movies of Carrie-Anne Moss

It?s kind of interesting how things disappear from our lives. Changes in addresses, jobs, schools, interests all can have an impact on how our daily lives change. There may be friends that we stay in touch with from different parts of our lives and there may be others that fall by the wayside, as the

Get a Good Night’s Sleep or Get Fat

How many hours of sleep do you get on an average night? Are you a strict, in-bed-by-10 dude or a stay up all night and only go to bed when I finish watching five episodes of ?Archer? kind of guy? If you?re the type that stays up late and doesn?t get a good eight hours

Awesome Men Throughout History: Philip K. Dick

If insane genius novelists have a patron saint, it should be Philip K. Dick. He’s dead, so that’s an immediate qualifier, and his speed-and-acid-induced craziness is well documented in the 44 novels and 121 short stories he produced in his staggeringly prolific career, as well as The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick, a diary of

New Study Reveals ‘The Biggest Loser’ Fuels Negative Attitudes About Fitness

I?ve watched ?The Biggest Loser? on several occasions, and I always thought it was decent enough inspiration for regular folks to get off the couch and get in shape. Watching an obese woman run at speed 10.00 on the treadmill — I did this in 30 second spurts at the gym today and it was

Top Five Destinations of Pittsburgh

I think we are all born to make generalizations. (At least that?s my excuse for that last sentence.) You see one snake, you?ve seen them all, and they?re all foul creatures capable of killing you by just hissing at you. (I may be speaking from a snake-hating hyperbole than any real science on that one.)

Top Five Movies of Elisabeth Shue

Since I moved to Los Angeles, I get to see celebrities out and about in normal life. Sometimes it?s just people doing everyday things, but most of the time it?s at places you?d expect like walking by the red carpet to a premiere as I?m going to a different movie or on stage at one

Want to Get Fit? Write Your Schedule Down

Just to let you know, my girlfriend?s going to be doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the stationary bike tomorrow. How do I know about my girlfriend?s exercise regimen? I didn?t ask her (don?t EVER ask a girl about such things unless you want to unleash an emotional hellstorm.) No, I

Top Five Destinations of Birmingham

Once I moved to the west coast, I became aware of the term ?flyover state? which meant the great swath of land between Los Angeles and New York City (or San Francisco and Boston, wherever your east coast and west coast allegiances lay.) Up to that point, I hadn?t used the term, but I had
