When Not To Tip
The suggestion that you shouldn’t tip is the kind of provocative click-bait headline that gets people all riled up. Individuals in the service injury work hard and are paid slave wages. Tips are the only way some people in those jobs can make a living. So you should always tip to ensure that restaurant and bar owners everywhere can continue to reap in huge profit with essentially free labor.

I Can’t Stand Corporate Star Wars
I Can’t Stand Corporate Star Wars It’s kind of weird observing this new era of Star Wars films. I was 3 when A New Hope was released, but it wasn’t called A New Hope then. It was just Star Wars, and it changed everything. Star Wars was so popular that Kenner toys was able to sell an empty box as a Christmas present because they hadn’t made the figures yet.

5 Reasons Why We Need a 'Princess Bride' Remake
It’s been kind of funny to monitor social media lately and witness the hysteria over the proposed remake of The Princess Bride. If memes are to be believed, people are losing their mind over the idea that anyone other than Cary Elwes plays the man in black, or anyone other than Chris Sarandon plays the evil Prince Humperdinck.

Review of 'Desa Kincaid: Bounty Hunter'
I do a lot of book reviews, and the PR guy for Desa Kincaid: Bounty Hunter contacted me on Twitter asking me to take a look at this book. I’m happy he did so, because this is a nice little romp that will be a delight to anyone who enjoys well-realized, action-packed novels with strong, interesting characters. This book has the feel of everything from a western, to a dystopian post-apocalyptical novel, to a fantasy adventure. Desa Kincaid is one of those “strong female characters” that have become so popular these days, and this is the type story Sharon Stone would have wanted to star in back when she was making features like The Quick and the Dead.

'Our Sins' by Geoff M. Pereira
Working as a writer is not easy. The establishment often turns its back on independent writers, even though most of the great literature of history has come from authors who existed on the fringe.

Body Mass Index Means Nothing
I went into the doctor with my six year old girl. She does nothing but run and do pull-ups. She absolutely loves the jungle gym. The whole time we were there, the doctor said things like, "Wow, she sure is strong!" I was delighted and proud of course.

How to Prepare for the Trump Recession
Obama turned a very strong economy over to Donald Trump in 2016, and we have now experienced a record 10 years of steady growth. However, Trump has made a habit out of printing money and running up debt, and it's not hard to see that the good times aren't going to last forever.

How to Make a Living as a Writer
A lot of people play with the idea of writing for a living. A few lucky people are born with fantastic connections that allow them to parley idiotic concepts like using sharks and tornadoes as the basis for a major film. Even when these films flop somehow there's still enough cash left over for these people to relax, drink, and lounge around doing nothing.
