Movie Connection: Iron Man 3

Call Me Tony: So off Riq and I went to the movies late one night to see everyone’s favorite snarky superhero, Tony Stark. You know, the big red and gold. Marvel’s very own, Iron Man. But don’t worry, there’s no spoilers here. If you don’t know, our dear Tony was also an integral part of The Avengers. In that movie Tony takes a beating. Bad. All of the heroes almost die horribly numerous times... Continue Reading

For the Boys

Myth #5: If a boy experiences sexual arousal or orgasm from abuse, this means he was a willing participant or enjoyed it. This is one of the most common misconceptions out there. This needs to be clarified, it is normal for our bodies to react to physical stimulation...Continue Reading

But it doesn't make you ugly,

I play Guild Wars 2, hereafter GW2, because it is awesome, tons of fun, easy to play alone, and because I started playing Guild Wars 1 back in college. I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself - and I probably do only say so myself. I'm a bit of a…

I received the following tidbit in an e-mail this morning from Coach Training Alliance:

Getting Kicked When You're Down

Posted by Rachel Driver on June 17, 2013 at 10:01pm 0 Comments

It's sometimes amazes me how quickly my mind can turn from bright to glorious to gloom and doom.

     I've been MIA for a while, I know, and I'm sorry. Maybe I'll get into that soon. Anyway, here's a quick informal thing I wanted to get down.

"I just wanna see you be brave"

It's a line from Sara Bareilles' latest song "Brave". From the first time I heard it, it has made me think of all of you; all of the survivors out there.

I play Guild Wars 2, hereafter GW2, because it is awesome, tons of fun, easy to play alone, and because I started playing Guild Wars 1 back in college. I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself - and I probably do only say so myself. I'm a bit of a strategist when it comes to playing games.
