My mother used to tell me that bullies on the playground only used to pick on me because they were insecure about themselves. Taking that philosophy into pop culture, it makes me ponder how many villains were simply products of poor home environments and sick of playing second fiddle to the hero. A sour association to anyone’s name – whether it be an online reputation or based on in-person interaction, could end up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. How many iconic villains were suffering...Read Full Story

Today on my “Mind Journey” to the 80s I couldn’t stop thinking about 80s movie villains/bad guys/jerks/assholes so today I am...Read Full Story
