After the bombing in Chelsea on Saturday night it seemed like most New Yorkers just didn’t care. While there was chaos on 23rd street, people seemed intent on “what streets are closed”, “is my train still running” and “can I still get to my bar”? I don’t know if it is people feeling safe, even …

Watching the Olympics is a classic example of people making America proud. From Katie Ledecky breaking her old world record in the 800M and winning by 11 seconds to Michael Phelps’ Olympic record of Gold Medals. I focus on swimming specifically, because it was Maya Dirado that led me to this post. In her first, …
I love a good Movie Trailer. Or TV Trailer. I’m not really particular what type it is, as long as it’s a trailer….set up a good tease, and it’ll make people want to go see the actual event. But it’s rare that I look ahead and say “There’s a new trailer coming out next Tuesday!!!”, …

Think about it a little: A Dr. or Surgeon, who is on-call all …
Honesty really is the best policy. When people get caught up in fraud and trickery it is easy to repeat that process over and over. And the more you do it, the harder it is to remember what you did in your name or under some “storyline”. I witnessed a few weeks ago instances of …

It’s their lives and their bodies, and they can do what they want with it. But that doesn’t mean I can’t vent about the stupidity behind it all. A …
By now we’ve likely all seen the Yankees recent fallout with StubHub (and if not, here’s a link). The issue as I see it isn’t so much that people are upset that others in their section are paying so much less than them (which is infuriating if you know you paid $100 for your seat, …
Thank you Ronda Rousey. Thank you for not killing yourself, and instead hung around to tell people about it. Ronda opened up on the Ellen Show the other day about her loss to Holly Holm, and how in the first round she got hit in the mouth and lost depth perception. After her loss her first …
