The Law of Process: Daily Construction
I sanded on my industrial arts project for what felt like an eternity. I knew the teacher was right. I had seen my dad’s woodwork. In the end it was worth the time to hear, “Wow! I’ve never seen something this nice come out of a seventh grade class!”

The Visual Language of 'A Star Is Born'
Bradley Cooper is the surprise of the season with his remarkable direction of A Star Is Born. The challenge he set for himself on his first time out behind the camera was daunting to say the least. Not only is Cooper directing himself in the lead role, he’s directing a non-actress, Lady Gaga, in the other lead role. He also had massive logistics to tend to with crowds, music, and stadiums where conditions—we can easily imagine—that were not always conducive to a director desperately trying to capture a needed moment.

10 Underrated Bands That Should Be More Famous Than They Are
I remember first hearing Orgy's "Blue Monday" song for the first time. I was 12 years old and had managed to sneak away in order to listen to some music on the net for the first time. It was a song that really resonated with me, and when I saw the music video, I was blown away.

Ah, the Ruskies! They are seemingly everywhere, and seemingly unstoppable these days. They are manipulating our elections, if not our President. They are invading their neighbors and flying bombers to Venezuela. They even have a leader who at 65 still proudly, and often, takes his shirt off in public...

The Modern World of Medicine. What Could We Really Learn from Each Other?
A doctor, by definition, according to Merriam Webster Dictionary is “a person who has earned one of the highest academic degrees (such as a PhD) conferred by a university: to give medical treatment to” or quite simply, “to give medicine to.” Now by definition alone, this is fairly straightforward.

All Fight Fans Should Watch 'FightWorld' on Netflix
I had been waiting for this particular show to appear online for a long time. I'm a fan of Frank Grillo both as an actor and as a person. You may recognize him from movies such as Captain America Civil War, The Grey, and The Purge Series, and a role in Wolf Warrior 2, the highest grossing non Hollywood movie ever. Or you might know him from his appearances on podcasts like The Fighter and the Kid and others. He's got tons of action movie chops, and does way more than look the part.

New Year Resolutions or Long Term Solutions
So it’s that time of the year again. You know the drill—suddenly everyone is feeling inspired to change their life for the better by changing their habits and routines for healthier alternatives. Whether it’s starting to exercise on a regular basis, quitting smoking, going vegan—there isn’t any other time in the year when people are as willing to launch the new version of themselves into existence. Which is great, it really is. The timing also makes perfect sense, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another is the most pronounced just before New Year starts. With so many people focusing on the same thing, the gateway is indeed powerful and the energies support the magic of new beginnings. Even the fact that different calendars and certain countries celebrate New Year at different times doesn’t reduce its impact as most of the world still associates the first of January with a fresh start.
