- Me, Michael, and Ben
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Performing-Arts] I don't think anyone really knows how many articles, tributes, blogs, and songs will be composed in memory of the artist known as Michael Jackson. He died in June after collapsing at his home in Bel Air. I don't recall ever being so profoundly saddened by the loss of an entertainer. And I say the artist known as Michael Jackson because none of us really new the man; only the image he created or the caricature the media perpetuated.
- Depression City
[Health-and-Fitness:Depression] In a perfect world, everyone would live in a suburb of Contentment, in the city of Happiness, but this is not a perfect world. On the outskirts of Happiness, in the valley of the shadow of death, is another city--dark city where the sun genuflects and defers to the cool, pale rays of the moon. It is a colorless city filled with colorless people wearing blinders while struggling to pull huge carriages filled with troubles, heartache, and pain. No one is actually from there and no one should be there for long.
- Teaching Grandma to Drive
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] I taught my grandma to drive. Really, I did. I was just a little kid, maybe 6 or 7 years old at the time. She was in her late fifties, which to a kid is like being a prime candidate for the Rocking Chair Brigade. Now, I consider that age as the prime of life but that's another story. Anyway, my grandma somehow managed to make her way around the farm and down to the Jefferson General Store without ever learning to drive. With all those children of hers and lots of friends and family around, I guess it just wasn't an issue. Then everyone grew up and moved away and Grandma started to experience transportation problems. That's when I came along.
- You Know You're a Grownup When
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] My favorite song when I was a child was a darling little tune called Que Sera or maybe it was Que Sera Sera. Anyway, it was a wonderful song about this anxious little girl who nagged her mother with a bunch of silly questions. The girl wanted to know what she would be like when she was all grown up. She asked her mother: "Will I be pretty?" and "Will I be rich?". The mother didn't seem to have an answer for any of the girl's questions.
- How To Properly Pat A Man's Behind
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] Properly patting a man's rear end in public is not as easy as it looks ladies. The fingers must be fully extended, not curled. That's groping. Contact must be brief and to the right or left of the mid line. Also, the ideal spot is around the height of the convexity. Above or below and you risk being labeled a pervert.
- Where's The Ketchup?
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] The bad weather during the growing season affected produce. Fruit and vegetables are more expensive and, in my opinion, not as flavorful. I don't like spinach, but it looks less tasty. Why is it called produce anyway? Lettuce doesn't "produce" anything. Now, it's almost cheaper to eat out--almost...
- Never Ask An Author
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] The life of the typical author revolves around nonstop promoting and marketing to potential readers. We're on the road almost every weekend. People ask us a lot of questions that have nothing to do with our book. Here are the top five we wish no one would ever ask us again. Ever.
- Successful Book Signings
[Writing-and-Speaking:Book-Marketing] Book signings should be more than a photo op for your website. Successful signings serve three purposes. One, it's a great way to connect with readers. Two, it's good networking with bookstore owners and employees. Three, let's be honest, Amazon sales are great but they don't fulfill that burning need to read your book out loud to glassy-eyed people in folding chairs. So how does one orchestrate the perfect book signing?
- Ultimate Home (In Bed) Office
[Business:Productivity] It is essential to plan ahead for those days when sickness is not an option. Turning your bed into an efficient, ergonomic workstation is simple. Here are a few useful home office products that will increase your productivity without decreasing your recovery time.
