Ryan Holiday's Ego is the Enemy is a book I'll revisit because you'll need that reminder: Achieve, Success, and Fail.

Vice has that mix of HBO meets MTV (at least my generation did eat that up, not sure what kids do these days) but one show that really stands out is Black Market with Michael K. Williams. It's bleak, but goes to places where no other show wants to go. Hopefully, it doesn't make the host relapse.

I really do wish I caved in one day to get the audio version of certain authors..like comedians Tig and Doug Stanhope. Good stuff.

Geez..these kids do their homework on Jeff Presents Roast Battle. Jokes that go for the jugular. It's hard to gain back that momentum. Plus, the amount of writing you have to do..yikes. But seriously funny.

After going back home to Alaska, I found a hard drive with old KRUA files. This is likely my last collection of promos/IDs. The two other versions can be found in my Soundcloud account. It's been fun going down memory lane, but it's time to move on.

Slipping really fast of my reading pace to reach 88 books, but that did entertain me recently was The Dragon Behind the Glass - Emily Voigt. Who knew that fish can take you on an epic quest? Recommended if you liked The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean.
