I'm going to tell you about a part of my life I don't talk about a lot. I used to race go-karts. And I don't mean the kind you might find outside a local arcade. I mean real racing go-karts. At the age of 10, I would race go-karts that would go interstate speeds. I both loved it and was terrified by it.  Read More

Nintendo is one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. They make movies, have their own theme parks, and their mascots are some of the most recognizable in the world (Even more recognizable than Mickey Mouse).

I was done with them. I tried to make it work, but, now, it was over. You see, at the age of 4, my parents had gotten on my nerves one too many times. They made me eat broccoli, go to bed on time, and listen to what they said. I couldn't take it any longer. So, I proclaimed that I was running away. I got a stick and a handkerchief and packed all the most important things. Things like food, a flash...  Read More

Growing up, did you have a squad? I did. My mom would call us a motley crew. There was Benji, Chris, Justin, and me. We thought we owned the town.  Read More

Death is the one reality we will all face, but we don't really like to think about it. Some people will not attend funerals or even talk about the possibility of death. Yet, while we try not to linger on our deaths, we all want to leave a legacy. We want to live a life we're proud of, and we hope people will remember us fondly... Unlike the two subjects of this week's email.  Read More

Dent says, “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Harvey Dent was the hope of Gotham City. He was the legal hero that Batman could never be. Harvey was supposed to turn crime-riddled ...  Read More

If you grew up in church you are probably familiar with the old church van. I am not sure if it was a denominational requirement or just built into the fabric of the universe, but every church had one.
