Silver Linings Playbook

Friday, May 10th, 2013 by 

David O. Russell knows how to properly use actors. He’s an excellent director, but mind you, he’s had a history of verbal and physical disputes with them. An audience should always know that when sitting down for a Russell film you know you’ll witness transcendent performances.

If you don’t have anything positive to contribute…

Monday, May 6th, 2013 by 

First of all, I would like to acknowledge the fact that I am writing this on a computer and the irony has been noted. Furthermore, I don’t care. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Go about your business. However, if you have a spare moment to listen to a little rant about a severe downturn in our modern society, then by all means, read on.

Just a bit of wisdom…

Friday, March 22nd, 2013 by 

Now that I’ve graduated college and I am starting to make my own way in the world, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous or scared. These past few years in college have been some of the best in my life. I’ve learned so many important lessons in this short span of time that have helped shape me into the man I’ve become. I know that I can’t be the only one out there feeling nervous about the future. For those of you in a similar position to myself, and to anyone who’s feeling a little overwhelmed (or underwhelmed) with life, I offer my two cents of sage-like young adult wisdom.

Dreading Daylight Saving Time

Thursday, February 28th, 2013 by 

When I was flipping through a magazine the other night, waiting for my 7-year-old to finish her dance class, I saw one of the things I dread the most during spring – the mention of Daylight Saving Time. Now for some, it may not be that big of a deal, but in our family when it seems there aren’t enough hours in the day most of the time, “losing” an hour is a bit harsh. Especially when your family is made up of more night owls than early birds.
