I like the NFL playoffs, because it tells me a lot about the teams’ mental toughness. A good example was the Broncos vs. Steelers when everyone thought the Steelers were going to walk all over the Broncos but the Bronco’s ended up winning in overtime. Then there was Giants vs. Packers. In this game,... Read more »

Skrillex is an electro-dubstep artist who has gained massive popularity over the past few years. His style is full of harsh synths and insane bass drops that I currently just can’t get enough of. Every day I scour YouTube new songs of his. So far, he’s come through every time. But it’s not... Read more »
