One Fell Swoop
In it, goes my respect for LeBron James, goes Cleveland tumbling down a spiral towards “shit-town,” goes any class the NBA still had.<br/><br/>In case you’ve been living in a hole for the past few months, LeBron James, a basketball player of Michael Jordan caliber, became a free agent.

The Economics Behind Renting a Car
I’m not going to beat around the bush; with two jobs, I make a pretty good living. However, I drive an uncomfortable 1993 Honda Civic base model, which lacks all the things you likely like about your car. When it comes to salary to car value ratio, I’d think I rank up there pretty high, […]

Porsche
No, I didn’t buy one. One day, I promise… <br/><br/>Anyway, throughout my entire life I’ve heard “Porsche” pronounced two different ways: “porsh” and “por-shuh.” Last week, I decided to figure out who was correct.
