  • A little German to brighten your Monday

    I don’t know about you, but Monday’s might as well be “try to get your life together” day. While I’m excited to get back to work, I’m always a little jaded from the weekend and usually need coffee to get in the zone. There is always a lot to catch up on from the weekend,…

  • How I deal with depression

    That day where the night before, as you sat drinking your tequila and beer because that’s the only mixer you had, you played a bootleg copy of Men in Black III because you needed to laugh. You needed to laugh because it’s been days since you last did. It takes more muscles to frown but…

  • Today is National Grilled Cheese Day. Here are some of the cheesiest photos from around the web I could find.

    I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I mean really, who doesn’t love cheese? I see you lactose intolerant people getting ready to type a strongly worded comment about my generalization but let’s be real for a moment. You don’t hate cheese. Your body does.
