Massive Explosion a Universe Far Far Away →

I sort of have an obssesion with black holes, and I love astronomy. I thought this article was really interesting on a recent discovery of a star exploding. It’s amazing what happens and the amount of energy that is created when it happens.

‘Going Galt’ →

Being a avid fan of Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand, I couldn’t help but like this article. Putting political views asside this article brought back good memories of the book. If you have not read the novel I’d recommend reading it. Capitalism at it’s heart.

Reliving the Past

Ok so one of my favorite things to do (for a reason unkown to me) is to quote movies. In the past we’ve had some great lines the still live on today. We’ve also recently had some more great quotes. I was recently notified of this concert coming up which reminded me of these old lines so decided to write a short post with some of my favorite lines. Please add to it in the comments. I...

Upcoming Movies

Ok if your reading this chances are that you know I’m a film addict. I’ll watch lot’s of A,B, or C-Movies even though they are cheesy or stupid. It’s kind of like watching T.V. and just watching something that’s on the channel, not necessarily because you like it but because it’s just ok. So having made that statement I thought I’d share some upcoming...

The Abundant Life

I found this statement on a freelance blog and I find myself asking myself this question a lot. So I thought if there are others out there that ever ask this same question it would be beneficial to share. I think Don Juan does a good job of describing the choice we should make when we question what it is we are doing with our lives. “At some point in their lives, many people ask...

Phone Haters

So I would not classify myself as a “Phone Hater”. I almost always answer my phone (partly due to work) and almost always return phone calls promptly. However, I do know a few people who dread calling people back mainly because they just don’t like to chat on the phone…Well look no further. I ran across this app today for mobile phones. It allows someone to call the person...
