Aug 28th
The scene unfolds very quickly as one reckless driver doesn’t stop at… a stop sign and hits a car who was passing through the intersection. In his defense he did brake after seeing the other car. Damages are somewhat minimal: the right fender for the victim, the front bumper for the aggressor. Not really a [...]

Aug 13th
I have this little pet theory that I revisit from time to time and find that it applies to almost every aspect of life on a metaphysical level. Sometimes you need to refine the facts you’re working with to be able to see the clear picture, but it works nonetheless. The theory says that “given [...]

Aug 7th
A couple of months ago I’ve discovered King of the Hill. I know the show is really old, and in my defense I’ve tried watching it when I was younger but it seemed a little “dry” at that time. Not anymore. In fact I found it to be one of the best, if not the [...]

I was listening to the radio (92.5FM) while driving the other day. As everybody has to make a living at some point the commercials started.

Wait, it gets better The first commercial [...]

Jun 21st
Does the name Edward Payson Weston say anything to you? I thought so. Well, this gentleman who lived between 1839-1929 is responsible for some feats that are simply remarkable. To make a long story short he is famous for… walking (The Father of Modern Pedestrianism as Wikipedia describes him). The one piece of information that [...]

I’ve heard about orthorexia by listening to one of my favorite podcasts: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/ From Wikipedia: Orthorexia: an eating disorder characterized by excessive focus on eating healthy foods. In rare cases, this focus may turn into a fixation so extreme that it can lead to severe malnutrition or even death. So, if you’re eating unhealthy and [...]

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

The recipe seems to be almost identical: take a simple idea [...]

Miorita is a pastoral ballad that defines the quintessence of the Romanian way (or at least that’s what we, the Romanians, like to thinks). In a nutshell, it’s about the attitude in front of death or by extension (we can only die once remember) the attitude in front of inevitable things. [...]
