Jon would say that as a writer, he is a self-proclaimed film snob and a pop culture junkie. Always gives his honest, critical, and maybe a little bit snarky opinion on everything. He's very detail oriented and loves anything involving creativity and innovation. You're better off asking him who his favorite director is rather than his favorite film. So beware and get ready to be entertained. You can contact him at jon@theyoungfolks.com or follow him on twitter @DystopianHero. (Also, he doesn't always refer to himself in the third person, but sometimes he just has to).

I have this recurring dream of winning some enormous jackpot in a casino. Taking it as a sign, I have gone to the casino a couple of times and lost much more money than I have made. There was no…

Movie Review: A Dog’s Purpose

I have no problem admitting that I am a sucker for cute animal videos. At one point in my life, I would be perfectly content going on YouTube and watch hours and hours of cute animal videos. I’m glad to…
