Stole this idea from my homeslice from here . So the idea, which I stole from Kim, sounded like fun. I've done Top 10 Song lists before and I've never really been able to encompass everything I like together into one coherent list. So I'm going to fail again, but at least I can share some fun music with you! Also, these are in no particular order. 1-"Don't Gotta Go Home" - DMX feat. Monica 2-"In The Ghetto" - Elvis Presley 3-"Emotional" - Carl Thomas 4-"Tere Bulla" - DJ APS 5-"Groovin Tonight" - St. Lunatics feat. Brian McKnight 6-"Cops Up" - Lyfe Jennings 7-"I'm Shipping Up To Boston" - Dropkick Murphy's 8-"Ernie's Jam" - The Isley Brothers 9-"Volare" - Dean Martin 10-"Summertime" - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince This list doesn't really do my musical tastes full justice, but it works! Have a good one people!

I had planned to meet a few friends from undergrad there to mourn our losses. That's when things got interesting... UCLA, my beloved Bruins, came out victorious to No.7-ranked Texas,

Every once in a while an organization, teacher, or professor of some sort asks me to come speak in a class or meeting. I've done so at numerous universities and two conferences.

Today, I thought I'd share some stuff with you. It's not easy getting a job in today's economy. Let's face it, it's even difficult to get an interview. But when you get that interview, are you ready for it? I want you to be equipped with a few tips so you nail it. 1-Turn off that cell phone. Don't be the guy/gal that loses a job because your friends text you about grabbing a beer later that evening. I know it's a no-brainer, but it happens. Trust me. 2-When your interviewer(s) introduces his/herself, remember that name. Do not forget your interviewer's name. For one, it's r
