Renaissance 2.0
I saw a trailer for a movie called “A Long Way Down” and I really loved the music it featured so I used Shazam to find out what the name of the song was but it couldn’t identify it. So I tried Soundhound and fortunately it was able to recognize the song and artist…
So the look on the faces of the Argentinian players wasn’t just exhaustion and sadness but also one of disbelief and shock. These guys were on a mission and truly believed they were going to become World Cup champions and nearly pulled it off if not for a miracle goal at the 113th minute by…
The 2014 World Cup was a fantastic spectacle even though my two favorite teams (Italy & USA) didn’t go very far. My homeland Italy failed once again to get out of the group stage despite winning its first match vs England 2-1. They lost their next two matches to Costa Rica 1-0 and Uruguay…
“The Invisible Woman” (2013) is a splendid and heartbreaking story about Charles Dickens and his secret love affair with a young woman near the end of his life. Directed by Ralph Fiennes who stars as the great author in a powerful role. Felicity Jones as the other woman is a revelation and gives a beautiful…
So many wonderful take-aways from this interview of +Elizabeth Gilbert!!! She openly shares everything about life before during and after the massive success of her #EatPrayLove phenomenon. I knew she was funny and brilliant but never this much. Here are just some of the things I loved about this interview in no certain order: Her Oprah story is…

I never liked history and hated going to class to listen to the teacher drone on endlessly about all those boring dead people (usually dead white guys thanks to faulty history books). However, something has happened to me through the years where I’ve actually become a big fan of history. I have a voracious hunger…
Every new year we make resolutions to change our ways. They can be things we want to do and things we want to stop doing. Most of the time, we don’t keep stick to these goals for too long. This year, I’m looking at the word resolution in a whole new way. I’m going to…
I understand why ads and monetizing are so important but it’s frustrating dealing with the ever-growing amount that we must endure every where we turn. There are ads just about everywhere we look. Take a look around and you will notice a ton more than you even realized existed. I mean even in the weirdest…
Every once in a while I hear a song that I can’t listen to enough like “Step Out” by Jose Gonzales which is used in the upcoming movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” which I cannot wait to see! I’m a big Ben Stiller fan so this will not disappoint me. I also love…
