This is not a review. This is a recommendation that you, reader, take 90 minutes of your time and watch a documentary about YouTubers. The film is called Please Subscribe. The director is Dan Dobi. The cast is made up of famous YouTubers discussing their foray into YouTube-dom. These stories are fascinating for a number of reasons, reasons I will not list because the Internet is overrun with lists as it is. Suffice it to say, the expository nature of each YouTuber’s respective story allows for the utmost emotional honesty.Read More

1. Putting out those “Leave your S.O. for me, he/she can’t love you like I can” songs. My bae, God’s voice bestowed upon us in human earthly form, Sam Smith has this song called “Leave Your Lover,” which is exactly what it sounds like. Like bruhhhh, why does this trope exist? Of course her man can’t love her like you can, but maybe that’s why she chose to be with him over you? You think you can love her “more,” that’s debatable, but more is not necessarily better. You can putRead More

I don’t know if I want to be best bitches, best friends with her, be her, or date her. But here’s why I’m pretty sure Aubrey Plaza and I would have a great time hanging out.     1. She’s a total weirdo.     2. One time she hid in a box and followed her principal home from school.     3. Her twitter name is @evilhag.     4. She’s the voice of Grumpy Cat in an upcoming Lifetime movie.     5. She can resist the powers ofRead More

It is every gun advocate’s holstered response for school shootings, the reason women and men develop body image issues, the reason for teen pregnancy and, most recently, the reason a poor woman in Moore, Oklahoma was beheaded by the deranged 30-year-old Alton Nolen. Often if not altogether every time a tragedy occurs, and certainly if it reoccurs in the United States – or an international threat manifests itself domestically – the media receives immediate causal blame for their reporting it or previous events like it. Sophocles left it simply atRead More

Regardless of which college you attend, these are 16 must-do’s to put on your bucketlist. College is called the best four years of our lives for a reason—but it’s also such a short time we must take advantage of. Not only are the academic opportunities plentiful, but the callings for adventure are, as well. With greater independence and freedom, this is our chance to explore beyond our comfort zones and discover every facet of ourselves. Good luck!   1. Attend a sporting event Regardless of whether your school is aRead More

Every year, I seem to find myself scrambling for a Halloween costume idea and execution a few days before the holiday. Throughout the year, I come up with many different ideas I think would make an impressive costume, but then I completely forget about them. Then I end up dressing as something very lame. It’s like when I used to walk into a video store and completely forget about the 100 films I’d intermittently put on my must-see list, and settle instead for renting Varsity Blues for the 80th time.Read More

The 2016 presidential elections will be fierce. With no eligible incumbent, the nation is braced for the political season that has already begun – its starting gun signified by the media peeping at prospective nominees viable to survive what promises to be an attritional war of primaries and the always fierce and final push toward the general election. Like any show dog or pageant contestant trying to win over the hearts of an American electorate, the political parties are grooming and prodding their candidates to form an ideal appeal. DamningRead More

For those who only listen to  heavy metal/rap/hardcore stuff, I don’t know how much of this article you’ll want to read. For those who are versatile, keep reading. Ray LaMontagne, a 41 year-old folk singer/songwriter from New Hampshire has stolen my heart with just one song. I was in the car listening to Sirius Radio a few months ago when a soft, Iron & Wine type of voice came pouring through my speakers. The song is called “Shelter” and came off of his studio album “Trouble,” one of five heRead More

Last week, I was in Las Vegas. I was in Las Vegas for five nights too long…and by that, I mean I was in Las Vegas for five nights. As a problem gambler and a party-loving idiot, being in Vegas at all was probably a terrible choice. But during my time in Vegas, I learned a few valuable lessons which I would like to impart onto the rest of you.   Bribery ALWAYS Works Going to Vegas with a group of five dudes and one girl, our odds for gettingRead More

For every band living the rock and roll lifestyle – smashing guitars and raiding the mini bar a la Iggy Azalea – there is another that’s traded in the high life for an adult one.  And that philosophy doesn’t only apply to tucking in their shirts and adopting 401Ks.  Some have created an entire identity for themselves, completely autonomous as both artists and people.  It’s rare that an indie group is truly independent by these standards, but every once in a while one will peek through the rows of label-puppets.Read More

She is always excited – OMG!     Always has a witty come back     She can give you words of encouragement     She appreciates carbs as much as you do     When you aren’t sure if you should go to Vegas… She reminds you what is important.     She will love watching reality TV just as much as you doRead More

Joan Rivers was known as crass, witty, and completely unfiltered. At the age of 81, she was still making people laugh and saying everything that no one else had the balls to say. She was an outspoken woman in a man’s world. One of the original divas to grace society with her presence, and in my humble opinion, someone who had a few more good years left in her. If you were as shocked as me with her sudden passing, I looked to her memorable pieces of work and influentialRead More

When you are waiting for Dominos to be delivered                     Wait… did you say you ordered pizza?!                   When you realize — Holy shit! Is that a spider?!                    When you are at your desk all day and someone asks if you want to grab Starbucks                   When you have to use the restroom and there is aRead More

On September 4th, 2014 at 1:17 pm EST, a comic legend died.  Joan Rivers was 81 when she peacefully passed away from throat surgery complications.  Just a few nights prior, she was doing stand-up for fans at a Q&A event.  Until the day she died, she flew from NYC to LA every week, hosting the popular E! show, Fashion Police.  She coined the widely popular phrase, “Who are you wearing?”  and was unforgettably influential in the entertainment industry.  Joan Rivers was incredibly unique from the inside out.  Love her or hate her,Read More

So I get a lot of junk email from every store that I’ve ever shopped at. Even if I don’t give them my email they somehow find it. It’s definitely some sort of witch craft. But today I received an interesting email from CVS pharmacy. They will no longer be selling tobacco products in their stores. DUN DUN DUN. They’ve even started a #onegoodreason campaign for people to share their success stories in quitting smoking, why they’ve stopped and how to find help quitting. You know, I think this wouldRead More
