One of the reasons I look forward to Fridays in general is that
they herald the upcoming weekend, and also because Bill Maher is on
HBO at 10 PM. I recorded his last show and finally got time to sit
down to watch it a few days ago. His second guest of the night was
[...]

Everyday stresses can build up and hang around in the back of our
minds so that even when we have free time to relax and unwind, we
find ourselves stressed out about all the little things that are
bugging us. So today I would like to invite everyone to let go of
all their frustrations [...]

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What is
the answer to life, the universe, everything? Have you ever
asked yourself these questions? Quite probably you
have. Whether you were having some kind of crises in your
life, or you just like exploring your own inner existentialism, the
need to know, or [...]

For some unexplainable reason, surfing keeps finding its way into
my life lately. I dreamt of surfing the other night. The following
day, I sat down on the couch after straightening up our kitchen and
the show Parenthood was ending by showing one of the show’s fathers
sitting on a surfboard and smiling contently as [...]

Karl Jo Seilern and Anton Waldburg, managing partners of
theblogpaper.co.uk, seem to be swimming against the currents in the
ever turbulent waters that are the publishing industry. While most
print publications are moving more and more content online in order
to reach an increasingly tech-savvy, internet-based and mobile
readership, Seilern and Waldburg are taking blog [...]

Going it alone really doesn't work for most of us. We need help and
encouragement from others. We need someone to let us know when
we've strayed over the edge. Feedback from trusted advisers and
establishing effective mentor relationships is key to moving us
forward to achieving our goals. Plus, it just feels good to be part
of a group of people who are protective and "who've got your back".

I have a theory about how we ended up here on Mother-Ship Earth.
After all, isn’t almost everything about our precarious futures
just a tad too ominous, seemingly set into a pattern of continuous
lucid movement? What if every one of us had originally decided to
jump onto this moving planet we call Earth? Wouldn’t [...]

Yesterday, I read a post on freelancewritinggigs.com titled Google
CEO Eric Schmidt not on board with bloggers. A major theme of the
post was that while “writers” are respected “bloggers” are not. A
more minor point in the post, but the one which I found quite
interesting was that editors are a vital part of [...]

I go with Recon. M-95, extra ammo, binoculars, and that cool
revolver I unlocked yesterday. Let’s do this. I drop down
through the air, my parachute billowing and slowing my
descent. I look down and notice a vacant tank, something
Russian, like a T-90 or something, just waiting for someone to
drive it. Unfortunately, another soldier, [...]

Last night, when I should have been asleep, I was up reading some
random blog posts and checking out my friends posts on Facebook and
friedeggs.com. During my late night browsing session, I came
across a post by SelinaJane–one of my new best buddies–about 60
Cool & Creative 404 Error Pages. If you have a chance, [...]

We have a new Lightweight Champion! Frankie Edgar defeated BJ Penn
with a unanimous decision victory over the former 155lb Champion.
What? Unanimous decision? Hearing the scorecards after the fight,
it was hard to believe that one of the judges didn't give any
rounds to BJ. The three judges scored the bout 50-45, 49-46, and
48-47. Frankie is an excellent wrestler. Those two take-downs
definitely influenced the judges in Frankie's favor. But, I'm not a
BJ Penn fan, so don't expect me to argue in his defense.

In the United States when a child is born with a disability and is
not wanted by their own parents, the child is sent to a foster home
where the family is given training on how to care for the child.
There are strict requirements and the children are generally well
cared for. In other countries, [...]

As I sit here in a comfy chair at Starbucks, typing away on my
laptop, I think it odd that my thoughts drift to visions of
destruction and desolation. Odd because my imaginings entail
the loss of pretty much everything I enjoy as I sit here: my
iced mocha, the wireless internet I am using, my [...]

To me, “business is life and life is business.” Business has
become the primary vehicle for my growth and contribution.
It’s the vehicle that has taught me more about human
psychology, myself, connection, people, values,
courage, creativity, meaning, self-empowerment and even
sexuality than anything else. My parents were the reason I went
into business. And [...]
