[Average read time: 3 minutes] To be honest, shit didn’t go down quite like the title suggests, but that’s what some of these salty mofos want to hear. I imagine their salivary glands moisten at the thought of reading some juicy gossip, so I wrote a little TL; DR right at the top just for […]

[Average read time: 3 minutes] With only a few days remaining in 2017, it’s the perfect time to reflect on this past year. This is not the “new year, new me” bullshit, but rather a moment to take a deep breathe, look back at the past 12 months, and simply appreciate the past year for […]
[Average read time: 4 minutes] I was flying back to Dallas last weekend from one of my trips to LA and was thinking how I want my life to play out in the next five years. This exercise is actually bullshit since we don’t know what’s going to happen next week, much less five years […]
