I used to have no clue about north, south, east or west. Growing up in my hometown, I didn?t need to know. I started running around those streets playing capture the flag through many a neighborhood.

You’ll forgive me, I hope, for dedicating yet another edition of this Self Made Man column to a wrestler-turned-businessman. I just can’t help myself, both as a fan of wrestling and of people who put themselves out into the world and try to build a life for themselves. Besides, this week’s subject is a guy

Well, we’re now more than halfway through August and the Orioles are still playing relevant baseball (or at least, they were when I originally wrote this), so I’ve been watching a lot more baseball than usual. However, I’ve been watching with the TV muted because all the play-by-play guys are awful, and in general I

?Celeste and Jesse Forever? is now showing in limited release and will open wide later this year. ?10 Years? has a release date of September 14th. What two things do these movies have in common besides the fact that neither has been in my kitchen? I want to see both of them and they both

Most people, when they hear the name Diamond Dallas Page, think of the relentlessly upbeat ex-professional wrestler (and former tag team partner of both Karl Malone and Jay Leno) whose face ages three times as fast as the rest of him. Which is fine, since that’s the role that brought ol’ DDP into the public

I don’t know what it is about hot weather, but it makes me want to listen to hip-hop. Consequently, I’ve been listening to it a lot, because my city has been a convection oven for the past three months (minus the occasional violent thunderstorm) and shows no sign of cooling off any time soon. I’ve

Not only does ?Safety Not Guaranteed? have the awesome Aubrey Plaza from the great ?Parks and Recreation? it also has a part for the lovely Kristen Bell.

I?ve only been to Boise once and my experiences occurred after a weeklong rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. (That has to be one of the best names for a wilderness area ever.) So, after a week of no showers, packing a portable

When you hear the term ?fashion entrepreneur,? you probably think of someone artsy, either in an uber-chic or cartoonishly outrageous sort of way, who lives in Paris or New York and spends his afternoons swatting models on the calves with a riding crop as they pass down the runway.
