Back in the day – circa 1993-1995 (which, coincidentally, is when hip hop actually didn’t suck.  RIP Biggie) – every morning, before school, my alarm would go off around 5 AM, I’d kick the covers off and trudge downstairs to the basement to do more morning routine: 500 sit-ups (I know.  Relax.  I was 15,… Read more

Pros and Joes: More Similar Than You Think!
