Do what you love and the money will follow, right? Maybe. Maybe not… Don’t get me wrong; I am huge believer in doing what you love.

You know who’s stupid? People in horror movies. In fact, as I watched Paranormal Activity this past weekend, it struck me how so many horror movies rely on characters doing stupid things to get going or keep going…. But their stupidity is our gain, as we can learn a lot about how to make our [...]
