Brad Bolman

Brad Bolman has, at some point and by someone, been described as smart, egotistical, hilarious, humble, not humble, a sesquipedalian, tall, musical, well-dressed, fat, skinny, nerdy, artsy, cool, thugged-out, but whether or not these adjectives apply, he is someone with a deep love of words and linguistics who cannot help his incessant desire to write.

Trendspotting: The Recession

By Brad Bolman | Published: November 17, 2009
Trends are sometimes hard to spot: the color purple (not a trend… yet!), docksiders (that some people are just now buying these proves they’re a trend for sure), lo-fi music (it shouldn’t be a trend).

This is my favorite school lunch.

By Brad Bolman | Published: April 14, 2009
