Being a good person is not hard, but it doesn’t just happen. As much as anything else, you have to want to be a good person and make choices that correspond with your beliefs. No matter where you are in your life, you can make the choice to change. Unfortunately, sometimes good people are attacked because they've been smeared by bad people pretending to be good. Here are ways to truly know you're...

I want to talk more about my favorite singer of all time!  Alwin Lopez Jarreau (March 12, 1940 – February 12, 2017) was an American singer and musician. His 1981 album Breakin' Away spent two years on the Billboard 200 and is considered one of the finest examples of the Los Angeles pop and R&B sound. Let's talk about him....

I love singers!  If I had a choice between playing guitar or being a great singer, I would choose a singer every time.  Here are 5 of my favorite singers of all time.  Let's talk about it....

I've been trying to write humor for a long time but it's always hard to figure out where I can use the material.  A film, a blog, a meme, a show etc...  In this episode, I'll be running some humor by you and get your thoughts.  Funny or not.  Let's talk about it....

My favorite actor James Maitland Stewart was born on May 20, 1908, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, to Elizabeth Ruth (Johnson) and Alexander Maitland Stewart, who owned a hardware store.  I spent most of my teen years trying to watch his films.  No streaming services made it hard to find the hard-to-find films but I had a strategy.  Let's talk about it....

I've lived in Bayonne for 9 years now and it's been great.  I've met friends that I'll have for the rest of my life and experienced a personal growth that I attribute to the culture here.  I've been on social media for all of the 9 years and many people recognize me when I'm out walking around.  It's fun and my kids swear I'm famous. LOL! I'm not...yet...but I am Bayonne Famous and it's fun.  Let'...

One of the most heated debates among Star Trek fans has always been, and may always be, whether James T. Kirk or Jean-Luc Picard was the better captain. Of course, each fan’s answer depends on myriad personal preferences like which show they liked better, which actor they liked better, what good leadership means to them, and what character traits they value. Though it’s difficult to approach the q...

This is a list that's almost impossible to create but here we go.  These are the bands that made me want to be in a band.  No single artist here.  Just bands that worked together.  And if you think I'll be picking obvious ones, think again.    Let's talk about it....

The monologues that appear on this list are a collection of strong and memorable performances across American films. All of the monologues featured are in English. While there are numerous other monologues that could have easily also been featured on this list, special attention was given holistically so that the monologues here are representative of a wide array of movies, actors, directors, writ...

I love playing guitar and these are the musicians that inspired me but it wasn't just their amazing playing.  It was also what they contributed to music and culture.  Let's jam about it....

I don’t always possess the mental fortitude to convince myself to work. Hence, am going live to find the solution to this problem. Just imagine the possibilities. You can work effortlessly without nagging yourself to start. How much stress (and guilt) can we remove from our daily lives, if we did what we’re supposed to do?? If that were the case, we’d all be happy and productive people.  Right??  ...

Helping others should be a natural extension of every business leader’s responsibilities. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come as easy as you would think. As leaders, we often get too caught up in operations or our own problems to give people the help they need. However, in the last year, I’ve realized that most of my best clients, partners and relationships have come from me helping someone. Here are 5...
