“Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Not as Stupid as It Seems

Cornball Rom-Com Highlights the Power of Self-Confidence You can really learn something from a chick flick. Contrary to rational thought, it?s not always a complete waste of life?s precious minutes to sit through the latest rom-com with your significant other (it is, however, always horribly sad.) Here are just a few things you can learn

Don’t Be A Slacker: Lessons Learned From Back to the Future, Part 3

Read part one here, and part two here. Lesson 3: Your Future Isn?t Written ?Back to the Future Part III? is a polarizing film with fans of the series. Some love its historical setting and sharp departure from the previous films; others think it?s a boring western with a schmaltzy ending. Whatever you think about

Don’t Be A Slacker: Lessons Learned From Back to the Future, Part 2

Check out part one here. Lesson 2: You?re Only As Chicken As You Think You Are Do you snap anytime somebody calls you a name? Are you partial to wearing power-lacing Nikes and/or jeans with the pockets inside out? If so, you and Marty McFly in ?Back to the Future Part II? have something in

Don’t Be A Slacker: Lessons Learned From Back to the Future

I?m not joking when I say I use to dress up like Marty McFly in second grade. There I was: puffy red vest, jean jacket, white Nikes — 80s to a tee. It helped that I was awkward and had a thing for Huey Lewis and the News (see ?About the Author? above). Little did

Cut the Shoulda-Woulda-Couldas

?I could have been some rich business executive, but I wasted years of my life playing in a rock band.? No, these are not the words of Bret Michaels. (Dude?s rich.) These bitter words are my own ? from just a few days ago to be exact. If you?re not familiar with the world of

Kanye West: Jackass or “Stronger”?

Who is Kanye West? An innovator??A megalomaniac??A college dropout? In the words of Barack Obama, ?he?s a jackass.? In an off-the-record comment for television in 2009, that?s just what the leader of the free world had to say about one of the biggest rap stars of the 21st century. These words, of course, came after

Bro Down With Confident People

I have this friend. We might have been separated at birth. We both love playing guitar, quoting ?Ferris Bueller?s Day Off,? eating cheeseburgers and being sarcastic jerks. By the power of Facebook, he and I reconnected and decided to get together recently. He?s still a lot like me in many ways (and can even quote

You Have Nothing to Fear … But Zombies

It?s not always sunny in Philadelphia, neither literally nor metaphorically. The weather can be pretty miserable and you?re sure to run in a less-than-friendly head case now and again. I could name all the horrible things about the City of Brotherly Love, but this isn?t a travel guide and I?d just be fueling my unwarranted

You Too Can Be a Chainsaw-Armed, Self-Sufficient, Flat Tire-Changing Badass

For some reason, my car is fond of running over nails. Apparently it didn?t get the memo that I have no use for extra nails at this point (I have like three coffee cans full in my garage) and wish to cease all nail running-over until further notice.? As a result of my car?s lack

Steve Jobs and the Benefits of Being Bold

I?m a PC. Lame, huh? My experience with Apple products is limited to owning various incarnations of the iPod and using Snow Leopard for a few months while I interned at a recording studio. Like everyone who hasn?t lived under a rock the last decade, however, I?ve witnessed the meteoric comeback and dominance of Apple

May Your Inner Game Be With You

Maybe it?s because it?s getting cold out or maybe I just have an inner Roger Ebert circa 1977 waiting to burst out of me, but I?ve been watching a lot of old movies lately. If you read my fitness article from last week, you?d know that I recently watched ?Rocky.? Well, this week I treated
