Twenty-four hours! Can I make it? I’ve never gone this long without before. I definitely would not have had the willpower on my own to do this previously. But here I was, forced in a situation where I indeed had to go “cold turkey.” For those unfamiliar with the term “cold turkey,” it usually […]
Today marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As it is women that keep us guys in check and make the world go around, it is important that precautionary steps be taken to ensure that you do not leave prematurely (having the XY component of our population left to our own […]
Follow your dreams. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. We have all heard the above advice, but how does one actually go about doing it? We may find ourselves stuck in the corporate world and only daydreaming of what it would be like to be […]
