Recently, I ran across the book “Seinfeld and Philosophy” by William Irwin and being such a huge Seinfeld fan, I happily placed the book on the store counter and forked over $20 so I could enlighten myself. The book contains 14 essays written by several professional philosophers about different subjects throughout the 9 year television […]

Cell phones, we love them, we hate them. They are everywhere. Family plans, text plans, and data plans. Can we go anywhere anymore without the incessant sounds of annoying ring tones, message indicators, and fantastic flashing light displays? The cell phone, or more justly called at this point, the personal data assistant (PDA), has come […]

by in Movie Reviews | 2,978 views | Reading Time 5:20

If you happened to read through some of my past movie reviews, you may have noticed I rent movies from a local RedBox. What exactly is the RedBox?

Assembly Line Employees

In the article titled “Shortweek,” I brought up a theory about the current state of treatment of employees throughout our country. I stated, “Employee satisfaction and morale usually isn’t the number one thing on management’s minds these days.” While it is a pretty broad statement and there are many people who are being treated very […]

Today, in my daily routine of surfing the latest news and information on the Internet, I ran across an article about a subject that I’ve been a HUGE promoter of for many, many years. The article reported that the state of Utah is going to move their state employee base to a 4 day workweek. […]

Today’s article is a spontaneous article. I only have a topic in my mind to write about and the rest will come through mind and out to my fingertips. Take this journey with me as I proceed through a simple set of thoughts and let’s see where we end up. No, we are not talking […]

Familyation

Whoa, another silly word. Today’s new word took me a few iterations to come up with something that you could pronounce out loud. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to come up with a brand new word. I mean, Webster’s has been around for a very long time and they pretty much cornered the market on […]

Bucket List

by in Movie Reviews | 2,597 views | Reading Time 4:40

I’ve watched several movies since my last review, but none of them intrigued me enough to write an article about them. However, as the article title implies, The Bucket List gave me something worthwhile to write about. As always, I will not give any spoilers or ruin the film experience for anyone who may not […]

Today’s article is going to focus on something we all hope to do in our life and about how some people are actually scared of the thought. Retirement, it is some people’s dream and in turn, some people’s nightmare. How can that be? I always thought retirement was the goal of all young adult workers. […]
