As a self-employed individual, you often have to find ways to stay in shape without the luxury of a gym when you’re just starting out. I have managed to run into this problem myself, so I decided to stay proactive by getting on an exercise program that I can run out of my own house. [...]

Preface: for years, I have been saying that when I watch a movie, I cheer on the villains. I mean it, I have always cheered for the villains and I expect most movies to end in the worst way possible. Unless a movie is a romance or a comedy, or a romantic comedy, I absolutely [...]

Well, it seems that reading week has broken me down and took away any hope of productivity on my end, but I wish to change that. I missed out on updates to Trivial Trivia and Featured Album Fridays, but I’ll pick them up again when I can. For now, I guess I’m going to become [...]
