Christopher Walken on Love - A Valentine's Day Special

Love?  Oh, you mean between a man and a woman?  Because I could tell you about love between a man and his land, a man and his office equipment, a man and his stable of horses, but between a man and a woman, I'm... not so sure.  My knowledge of such is very limited.  Often, I'll see a woman that grabs my attention, in a way that part of me wants to take her out, wine her and dine her, tell her how much I appreciate the way she moves, but another part of me wants to watch her take her shoes off, and brush her hair, don't ask me if that's normal.  You know what I love?  The smell of an old car.  Most people, the kids, they like the smell of new cars.  Not me, to me they smell too sterile, too safe.  I like that old, musky, almost rancid smell of hot plastic seats and ancient cigar smoke.  Give me an old car paired with a light helping of waffle fries and now we're talkin'.  The only thing is, waffle fries and old car smells can't love you back the way a woman can.  Love is educational.  You learn alot about yourself through it - like, you learn that you should only love one woman at a time, and that you shouldn't say "now that's the spirit!" when your woman says "I love you".  I learned that the hard way.  But that's how I learn most things, the hard way. 

Happy Valentines Day.

The Tunter Twins Guide to Manners

The award winning Tunter Twins share their expertise on manners:

1. Do not scream at the face of an innocent person
2. When shaking hands with a new friend, close your eyes
3. Do not insult the intelligence of a child
4. If a friend is feeling sad, stroke their back with your hands (be creative with the motions)
5. If given a gift, force yourself to cry with joy
6. When a woman seems to be carrying too many groceries for her to handle, applaud her for her efforts
7. If you could not hear a comment that another person said to you, show them a large smile until they are forced to change the subject
8. Do not touch any of your erogenos zones in public, but if you must, do so with a smile
9. When you greet a woman and she takes off her coat, smell her very close, and compliment her on the soap and shampoo she uses
10. If a guest invites you into their home for a drink, remove your shoes and socks, even if you have not arrived at their home yet, it is still a polite gesture to show them that you are thinking ahead

I apologize in advance for this post.

This is a cage.

This is Nicolas Cage.

Cage went up on a stage.

Cage was enraged in a cage.

Then Cage made the front page.

So now Cage makes a nice wage.

DePauw newspaper article

A piece I wrote about the town bartenders for class that became the feature for The DePauw not too long ago.

http://www.thedepauw.com/features/ben-goes-left-greg-goes-right-1.1992362

Pat Pempy, best selling author of Happiness Happens, shares some tips to pick yourself up when life gets you down

"Be sure to compliment 45 people every day.  I like to keep a list of compliments in my pocket, and pull it out and pick one when I see a stranger and have the time."

"Do my prayer dance every morning before the sun comes up (instructions can be found in my book!)"

"Film yourself while working hard on something, then when you are finished, watch the film so you can see first hand how productive you can be"

"Call a friend, and tell him or her that you had a dream about them the night before, and that it was the most fantastic and magical dream you ever had, then invite them to your house for some blueberries"

"Take some time to make a list of all your favorite colors."

"Spend at least two minutes a day by yourself, and think about your favorite colors"

"Make yourself laugh at least three times a day (I find tickling my self to be the best method)"

"Think of a pet that you have always wanted, then make a list of all the possible names you could give it.  Do this once a week."

"Draw a picture of a tree and give it to a friend or co-worker"

"Make a list of all the everyday objects you can think of that you are thankful for, then say 'thank you' every time you see any of those objects throughout the day"

"Think of someting positive (I like to think of a plus sign)"

"Do not worry about the future, for the future does not exist.  Do not worry about the past, for it lies dead.  As long as your consciousness is suspended in the infinite well of the present moment, the core of what you may call god, or the supreme force, will be recognized within you." - Billy
