What do I tell my child when he asks where his pets go after they die?

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
For as long as there have been kids, there have been kids asking questions. Psychologists would argue that inquiries are a very fundamental part of child development. It serves as an informational gathering method and allows children to attempt to make sense of the world around them. Which is great,...

Writing Workshop: Turning a piece of fiction into a film with explosive results

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Screenwriters get paid the big bucks to read books and adapt them to film so that we, the paying costumer, do not have to read anything beyond some credits. The exception to this is movies in foreign languages that have subtitles that make viewers read line after painful line of text. Reading, as ma...

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Mr. Jones previously gave you an outline for how to celebrate Martin Luther King day if you are white and do not want to appear condescending, and I view this as a valiant effort. However, if you are serious about partying on MLK day, this is not the road for you. You may also notice that we have mi...

Legal Matters: Why The Guide Isn't Racist

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
We have gotten many emails on the subject of the last post on the subject of celebrating MLK day. The majority of which stated that in an effort to not be racist, we may have actually been more racist. I disagree, and allow me to explain why.

How do I start conversations if I'm in a room of strangers

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
A stranger is just a person who hasn't gotten to know the real you yet. Then they become an acquaintance or that guy you'll see on the street who will say "Hello, how's it going" to you without actually stopping to hear your response. Keep in mind that the step between "stranger" and "'Hello, how's ...

The Guide offices, as I like to explain, exist in a place outside of geography. We are located everywhere and nowhere but always are just close enough to a landfill and railroad tracks that makes the rent that much cheaper. But if you held me at gunpoint and made me point where we were located on a ...

I think that cats would make cute butlers. And if you died right after reading that sentence out loud, those would be your last words. Ever. Does that make you feel complete? The summation of your entire life could have been defined by an aside about cat butlers. Imagine if there was someone around ...

How do I train dogs?

Leon F. posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
This is not your guide for potty training your dog. While I agree that having a dog not pee on things you buy is a good thing, this "How do" guide aims to go far beyond that.
