Lessons From a Half Marathon: Do Epic Shit.
Running was one of those things that always seemed about as pleasurable to me as a root canal without Novocaine. I could not understand why people would put themselves through such a boring and pointless form of exercise. It began in middle school, when our gym teacher would make us run around the track like [...]

Be Good To Each Other.
A photo with a touching message and story… Apparently in the 1950s, the popular nightclub, Mocambo would not book Ella Fitzgerald because she was black.

How To Be A More Interesting Musician.
I’ve been traveling for about a month and a half now, and in that time I’ve seen shows in Germany, Ireland, London, and Paris, all entertaining and unique in their own way.
