I just realized earlier this week that I haven’t seen a movie in an actual theater in a really long time. This isn’t something I’m proud of, mind you; I went to the movies a lot as a kid and part of me still wants that communal experience. Unfortunately, going to the movies kind of

When I think of Jacksonville, I don?t think about beaches. I don?t think about the Atlantic Ocean. I don?t think about the South. I don?t even think about Florida. I think about the Archers. What are the Archers, you ask? It was one of the names bandied about as a possible name for a NFL

It?s kind of interesting how things disappear from our lives. Changes in addresses, jobs, schools, interests all can have an impact on how our daily lives change. There may be friends that we stay in touch with from different parts of our lives and there may be others that fall by the wayside, as the

How many hours of sleep do you get on an average night? Are you a strict, in-bed-by-10 dude or a stay up all night and only go to bed when I finish watching five episodes of ?Archer? kind of guy? If you?re the type that stays up late and doesn?t get a good eight hours

Since I moved to Los Angeles, I get to see celebrities out and about in normal life. Sometimes it?s just people doing everyday things, but most of the time it?s at places you?d expect like walking by the red carpet to a premiere as I?m going to a different movie or on stage at one

Just to let you know, my girlfriend?s going to be doing 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the stationary bike tomorrow. How do I know about my girlfriend?s exercise regimen?

Once I moved to the west coast, I became aware of the term ?flyover state? which meant the great swath of land between Los Angeles and New York City (or San Francisco and Boston, wherever your east coast and west coast allegiances lay.) Up to that point, I hadn?t used the term, but I had
