Stargate: The Movie
Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.

The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

X-Men: The Animated Series
Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.

The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Resilience in the Shadows:
In the heart of the bustling city, where dreams intertwined with ambition, stood Ramaswamy Enterprises, a beacon of promise led by the charismatic entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The towering glass facade reflected the aspirations of its employees, each individual entrusting their career and future to the company's visionary leader. But behind the gleaming exterior, a storm was brewing, one that would test the resilience of those who believed in the promise of success.

Vocal
You weren’t my first. Probably not my last. But of all the others' past, you’re the one that’s lasted. Vocal, you’re the best writing platform I have found so far. You’ve helped me grow. You’ve made me mad. You’ve made me smile. You’ve made me the writer I am today.

The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is all we need. It will make you laugh and cry. It will make your heart bleed. Published in 1964. Forever a work we will adore. Not many words. Not many needed. When we learned to care for a tree. We learned more than we ever needed.

Kokushinsan: Shadow of the Mountain Prologue - Childhood
Below the sharp, snow-covered peaks, an ocean of golden barely bent and ripples traveled among the fields. A dusty veil helped make those labyrinths of rock, ice, and snow seem a distant world. Up in the thin air of the Himalayan mountains, work was tedious and the yield was difficult, but at times like these, it was a better life, even in the shadow of Kokushinsan.

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP
Sleep holds immense importance as a vital component of our survival. The inability to attain restful sleep can lead to a sense of desperation, driving us to seek assistance. However, in recent times, our preoccupation with sleep seems to have gained a heightened sense of urgency.
