If you don’t know what a mezuzah is in the Jewish religion, it is a piece of parchment (often contained in a decorative case) that is inscribed with specified Hebrew verses from the Torah. A mezuzah is affixed to the doorframe…and is believed to bring long life and protection for members of the home.

Facial hair can really say something about a guy. It’s expressive, and a style can mean one thing in one century, and receive a different reception by people in another century.
Often guys will want to wear facial [...]

The host was unsure what to do for a moment it [...]

It’s not something I thought of, but friend Pete V (for one reason or another) in the midst of one of our conversations, brought this topic up.
Forget where the act itself happened, it’s probably way more important to know what these people had for dinner.
I mean, does it matter if you’re a lobster-baby, or a [...]

On some level we all want to be liked (and loved). However, you can’t be liked by everyone, and there’s no reason to think you’re gonna be bff with everyone you meet.
I think often we humans go astray when we set unreasonable expectations for certain people in our lives —- thus we only end up [...]
I gotta tell ya, any place that isn’t even a sit down restaurant with waiters and waitresses really oughta allow outside food.
If my friend is getting something there, there’s no reason I can’t bring in something else — from somewhere else. I think it’s bad business not to allow outside food. It’s a [...]

This is what I like to do when I knock on people’s doors:
WATCH THIS —– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VAyCE7NB8U
I usually do this to my buddy, because doing this kinda thing is probably more appropriate when you’re dealing with at least a good friend.

This dude I play baseball with recently suffered a pretty gruesome injury —– but it wasn’t caused by something happening on the field.

Friend/foolish Phillies fan Jeremy lives in an apartment unit just above the building entrance, facing the front. In order to let people into the building, they can buzz up from the callbox. Those trying to get inside are able to communicate with Jeremy, who also has a connected intercom in his unit.
Anyway, if you hold [...]

I don’t remember every detail of this story, but here’s basically how it went down.
A friend of mine, Tony, had signed up to take a course(s) at UCLA. These were courses outside any major undergraduate/graduate programs. Upon completion of his registered classes, Tony decided to continue his education.
Basically he often lingered around the campus, and [...]
