2 Gingers Irish Whiskey
2 Gingers Irish Whiskey is an up-and-coming whiskey that just recently expanded its availability into Texas in 2013. 2 Gingers is made in Ireland, but for a long time was only sold in Minnesota. Due to its local popularity the brand started to expand across the country, and for good reason. What makes this whiskey...
When Astronauts Return to Earth
I had studied astronomy, and I had studied cosmology, and fully understood that the molecules in my body and the molecules in my partners’ bodies and in the spacecraft, had been prototyped in some ancient generation of stars. In other words, it was pretty obvious from those descriptions we’re stardust. Well, that was pretty awesome,...
“Prince Avalanche” is Indie Movie Royalty
Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch (of “Into the Wild“) team up to comprise of what seems like exactly one-half of the total actors in this great movie, “Prince Avalanche.” This somber, humorous, and inspiring movie is about two guys whose job it is to paint stripes on East Texas roads. Alvin, played by Paul Rudd,...
Whoa, We Wrote 500 Articles
One day, in September 2011, I was bored. So bored that I wound up starting a website to play around with and serve as some sort of outlet to escape my stressful life as a law student. It was pretty pathetic at first: terrible layout, the simplest of logos, and an audience of zero humans....

Sit back and relax to the groove as it continues to build on...

The Star Wax Original Pomade, first and foremost, is red. Why? Don’t ask questions. I absolutely hate that it’s red, and there’s no rational reason to...
Carved Redwood Burl iPhone Case
After a year of use, my leather iPhone case finally bit the dust. Well, not entirely, but the few cracks it had made it annoying enough to warrant a replacement. I always choose leather every chance I get, but I figured I would try something new for this new year. What’s the second-best choice after leather?...
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense Cologne
Déjà vu, am I right? Well, kinda. Paco Rabanne apparently sold so much of their “1 Million” that they made an entirely new cologne called…basically the same thing. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense is an offshoot of their cologne, and seeing as I liked (and still enjoy) the original, I thought the version 2.0 would be...
