If you like Sons of Anarchy, you may like....
One of my all-time favorite shows is Sons of Anarchy. The characters are well developed, but all are flawed in some way. Family is important to all of them and the motorcycle club is the family they chose. The club tries to take care of their members with money-making businesses, but they walk on the wrong side of the law. They sell guns, drugs, and create pornographic movies. They all end up doing prison time, but the club bands together to make sure their wives and children are taken care of during their incarceration.

Skeuomorphs.
I always purchased books online, probably more than I should. In the last year, as with most of us, online shopping has been my saviour. Packages of pleasure arrive at the front door, usually within a day—just the right amount of time before I become impatient. There is always exciting as the little package arrives bundled with the joy of unwrapping. Pue, simple pleasure and regular dopamine hit. I highly recommend it.

Trainspotting: A Cult Classic
Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. That is the field that I am going into for my career. I have been studying the mind and really have enjoyed it. This has also creeped into how I recommend movies and TV shows to others. I don't just ask what movies they like and such unless I know them very well. I also try to learn a little about their personality. When I know more about them I can make a better recommendation. For me it helps to more so look at what that person will enjoy not just what I think is good. I even have an ongoing record with my fiancé that whenever I recommend a movie or TV show to her she always enjoys it, every time. I believe that is because I look at what she likes and who she is and make a recommendation based off that. That is my formula and it seems to work pretty well, but since I do not know who is reading this I am just gonna make a general recommendation for anyone who likes the movie Trainspotting.

Which are some of the popular businesses that follow the Uber for X model
Uber debuted 11 years ago in March 2009 with the mission to make people embrace the concept of on-demand ride services. In other words, it paved the way for ride-hailing business to thrive greatly. The people could use Uber to book a taxi cab as and when required. This innovative approach faced a boom in growth and fame, and it formed another business sector primarily catering to on-demand services. That's right; there was an evolution in the rise of new businesses that operate under the Uber for X model.

The Key to Reaching Television Nirvana
I know this may be hard for you to believe, but I, a writer, have a problem finishing things. It has plagued my life from an early age. When I first started writing stories I would conjure these huge, fantastical worlds, spread over page upon page of scrawl, displaying imagination far beyond my single figure age…until the ending. Looking back, I don’t know how much I was affected by 80’s popular culture, but every story I wrote, no matter how complex or involved, ended in the same variation of ‘Then they woke up and it was all a dream.’

Things Kids Say: Myth vs Fact
I got completely stuck on, “Who decides what is Common and Uncommon knowledge”? Some of the submissions I have read I thought... “EVERYONE knew that”... some I had NO IDEA what they were talking about...so I was having trouble coming up with what I deemed “Uncommon Knowledge”.

“Run Dino Run” Game
So many people equate being a teacher with knowing “everything,” and that is definitely not the case. As a young, enthusiastic, millennial teacher I find myself trying to “keep up with the Joneses” by putting on a facade. My students think of me as the “cool” teacher, and the fact that I knew nothing of this hurts my pride... Luckily, I don’t know everything and I shouldn’t be expected to. And this very story is what makes being a teacher so exciting. With that, there is always something new to learn and my high school students sure show me everyday. You would be surprised at the teens of tomorrow and the information that they acquire. These younger generations are so technologically savvy and I love to see it. It amazes me because there are even things that not only as a “teacher,” but as a millennial adult, that I feel I should know and unfortunately… I do not! But enough of the small talk, lets get write to it… no pun intended lol.
