  • Let them drink

    Let them drink

    Mr. Pollard, can I call you Jamie? I am going to call you Jamie and if that results in me getting blocked for a third time, well, I guess it was a long time coming. You love talking about Iowa State athletics and building the best centers, training facilities, and program, but then you go […]

  • The Office Characters are the Worst

    The Office Characters are the Worst

    The Office has a strong cult-like following and has seemed to grow more popular since it came off the air and onto Netflix.

    Summer Movie Roadmap

    Every summer, I set out a roadmap of movies that I watch during certain times. I have a soft spot for the summer movie, specifically the coming of age summer movie.

  • Resolve to make SMARTR goals in 2019

    Resolve to make SMARTR goals in 2019

    Ah, the second week of January. This is when things get real. Life starts eating into that newfound resolve, and, all of a sudden, we’re passed out in front of a nearly empty pizza box and five empty beer cans after not working out since sometime before the college football championship game.

  • When I tell people I am an only child, I am lying
