ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING!!
To all of you who have been living under a rock for the past 15 years, let let you in on a little secret: TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS THE WRITTEN EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING! You may be thinking, “Avish, that is so obvious. Why are you wasting our time pointing this out?” Sadly, I still [...]
Would Bruce Wayne be Jealous of Batman?
Here’s a weird question, suitably random for a Friday: If you were a superhero with a secret identity, and you were in a relationship with someone who did not know about your alter ego, would you be jealous if you found out that they were attracted to/hitting on your superhero persona? (I know, it’s weird, [...]
The Biggest Nerd in the Room
Here’s a quick reminder of the futility of comparing yourself to others… Yesterday I was attending a karate class, and we were going over a locking technique. At one point the instructor teaching the technique pointed out how the hand motion was similar to the hand motion Spiderman makes when shooting his web. At this [...]
Sure, But What Have You Done *Lately*?
You ever get the feeling some people are desperately holding on to the successes of the past? This past weekend I went bowling. Don’t ask me my score, it’s embarrassing and a bit of a sore spot. Let’s just say that if you added together the scores from the two games I bowled, the total [...]
Single Person’s Rant
Let’s start the week off with a little humor I recently posted an article titled, No Singles The article was about the customer service I received at a convenience store, but I see how the title could lead people to believe it was about the discrimination and annoyances singles people face.

Who’s Smarter than a WWE Wrestler?
Not me, evidently. I received this email from a friend yesterday: guess where this quote is from: “Life comes with unexpecteds and without guarantees. The quality of your life will be better the less you try to run and find safety nets and havens from them. Your life is better served if you take it [...]
Are You Annoyed When Customers Try To Give You Money?
As a professional, do you get annoyed when people try to give you more money? This may sound like a stupid question, but it seems like some people just want to be bothered when you give them more business… This past weekend my karate school had a big test. As is traditional, we went out [...]
No Singles?
Contrary to what you may believe from the title of this post, this is not an article about the discrimination faced by those of us not in a relationship (we’ll talk about that at a later date…) Rather, this is a post about what a large impact small choices can have. This morning I stopped [...]
Would You Be Happy To Work on “Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus?”
Last night I watched one of the most gloriously awful movies I have ever seen: “Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus.” This is a direct to DVD release. It has budget CGI. And it stars Lorenzo, “I used to be Renegade,” Lamas and Deborah, “don’t call me Debbie,” Gibson. That my friends is a recipe for [...]
Benefits of a Potty Mouth
Does the phrase, Motivational Smart Ass offend you? If so, you may be less healthy than you could be… When I launched the Motivational Smart Ass site, I knew some people would be put off by the use of the word “Ass.” For some, it qualifies as “cussing.” But now there’s a steady that shows [...]
