I haven't been on nearly as much lately, but I wanted to take a minute to wish all of my TMF brethren, both in the US and abroad, a happy, healthy and safe holiday season. Here, in no particular order, are some of the TMF things I am thankful for... 1. The mods, for keeping this place...

I used to be an amateur psychologist. Back in high school / college, I seemed to always be the person people went to when they had troubles. I can't begin to count the number of nights spent staying up until the wee hours, discussing problems with significant others, parents, work, etc. I...

I never liked To Kill a Mockingbird. Actually, to be completely honest, I'm not totally sure I ever read it. I assume I was supposed to, since it's one of those "all-time classics" that everyone raves about, but I'm not sure if I ever did. I couldn't tell you what it's about, except...

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a YouTube junkie. I'm always looking for the next big thing, or a baby biting his brother. . . Well, my friends, I found my Xanadu... If you like modern music, acoustic guitar, or just guys with mustaches, allow me to introduce Igor Presnyakov. This...
