It’s 2019. It’s about time I learn how to read. Not sure when I forgot. I remember reading Holes in 3rd grade so it definitely happened after grade school. I didn’t read a single book they assigned in high school but I always chalked that up to being “too cool for school” without ever considering …

Last week, Esquire posted what is in my opinion one of the most baseless and misguided take downs of a TV show I’ve ever seen. Maybe it was for clicks, as the subject of the article, Game Of Thrones, is the most popular show on television, or maybe this was the author’s true opinion. Regardless, …
Ahead of tonight’s premiere of the final season of Game Of Thrones, it’s time to discuss something no one wants to talk about: George R.R. Martin is lazy. Since the premiere of season 1, Martin has been touted as a genius, an innovator, and a revolutionary, but no one is talking about how lazy he …
It’s Thursday, April 11. Welcome to the postseason! And what a final week it’s been. Just in the past few days, we’ve had: Dwayne Wade and Dirk Nowitzki play the final games of two legendary NBA careers Magic Johnson slink out the back door of the Staples Center Jamal Crawford score 50+ points (off the …
What a few days it’s been! Up until Sunday I was a Planet Fitness loyalist and brand protector. On Monday, I came out with my official statement ending my (unpaid) partnership with Planet Fitness indefinitely. Then on Tuesday, something incredible happened. And today, Wednesday April 10th, I am officially renouncing Monday’s renouncement of my loyalty …
By Amanda Bressner This blog is a rebuttal to Manndarko’s blog “Becoming A Regular At A Food Establishment” As a restaurant manager, I have to say how much we appreciate our regulars. Employees love seeing familiar faces walk through the door, especially if they’re nice people and good tippers. We like knowing that our food …
If you’re a reader of the blog, then you’re abundantly aware of my loyalty to Planet Fitness, Home to the 30 Minute Express Workout Zone ©. Anyway, it’s time to come clean to you all. For the past few months, I’ve been frequenting a new gym instead of Planet Fitness. But in solidarity (laziness) to …
I didn’t want to write about this. I mean who really cares? It’s just a jersey, right? But then I noticed something very strange. The outright hate for these jerseys by fans of other teams. Online trolls were having a field day. My coworkers were giddy to bring up the “ugly” new jerseys before I …
It’s Thursday, April 4. Back in action after a week off – here’s what to watch the rest of the week 1. The Sixers’ Struggle at Back-Up Center I’m going to lead with a blunt statement – the Sixers are a mediocre team without Joel Embiid. When Embiid plays this season, the Sixers are a …
Hating baseball has become wildly popular recently. Sure, it’s fallen a bit behind other sports. It doesn’t have the non-stop action of the NBA, nor does it have the perfect, once-a-week cadence of the NFL. There’s 162 games and maybe not all of them matter. Whatever. You think you’re a true original because you don’t …
