it feels like the apocalypse is upon us, and judgment day must be just around the corner. i’m not exactly what you would consider a man of religion, but i think the bible might just confirm my fears in revelations 6:12… when he opened the sixth seal, i looked, and behold, there was a great […]

the missing
it’s the game’s biggest stage, and that stage features the world’s biggest stars. well, most of them anyway. every four year’s, hundreds of millions of adoring fans to watch the brightest stars of football shine during the world cup. unfortunately, some of those star names don’t get the final invite to the the big ball […]

making (dangerous) examples
