“Hi-ya, sport, you look you could use a good stiff drink?” a good-sized man said to Glenn as he handed him his champagne flute. “Here, take mine.” “You’re… you’re, John Candy,” Glenn managed to utter as he gazed upon one of his favorite actors. “Guilty as charged,” Candy replied with a chuckle. “And that’s Janis Joplin, Donna Reed, and Rita Hayworth over there. Now, if you look to your right, you will see Walter Cronkite and Kurt Cobain shooting-the-shit on the couch over there. And, that’s

I recently visited the Menil Collection, this is a very small humble museum. The Menil Collection is a museum that holds multiple artworks. The museum is located in a neighborhood next to a little area where people can go out and picnic and hang out with the their families for a while.

Jonah Goldberg appears to stay opened minded in a majority of the columns he writes. Goldberg does not really allow for the worst of events to bring him down, which gives him the opportunity to remain hopeful for the future despite any issues.

Don’t bother with your voice — it’ll be removed in stages. Besides, no one speaks inside The Blue. People always forget about skin even though it’s the one item they’ll invariably need — how else will you hold yourself together when you enter The Blue? Baffling. Pairs are a technicality — feet, hands

things that makes one tick? That brings us to choose certain paths, even if the underlying truth of these paths hasn 't been recognized. The things that makes us ticks can be thought of mistakes. A professor of psychology and behavioral economics, Dan Ariely, studied this issue up close. Through his book, Predictably Irrational, these mistakes are both explained and contextualized as human error. Something that all of us do on a daily basis without any recognition. And even when we recognize our
