Recently I purchased the most anticipated game of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (aka-COD: MW2). This is the sixth COD game and the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I had previously bought, played and beat COD 4: MW but it left me wanting more. So I jumped at the opportunity to solidify my re-born gamer status with the new
Humans are social creatures. We like to surround ourselves with people that we like and get along with. We call these people: friends. When we are in happy times, we often try to increase the number in our social circle. It makes for livelier parties, more interesting discussions, and options for whom to take to the next concert.

Those of us who are in the dating world often wonder what it is that we’re supposed to be looking for, in one word: love. As children we experience our first love, familial love. Those affections that are directed towards the people we grow up around and those who raise us. It is a devotion that we feel, almost from birth. Then there is

After some of the most entertaining conversations with our good friend Jared, we realized this man needs a column all of his own to share his incredible anecdotes and life-stories.
