There have been very few times in my life that I felt a book needed to be read. I mean each person deserves the right to choose what type of entertainment is meaningful to them. But every once in a while, there is a book or song or movie that comes along that has importance, something that can’t be ignored. I am the person that
With the UN summit on climate change happening next week; climatologists, geologists, biologists, and numerous other scientists are forcing the world’s leaders to admit that there is only one thing left to do: Adapt or Die. That’s right, folks. Our governments have been led by those with the biggest bank accounts for so long that
I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to start putting names together in Hollywood. Suddenly, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have ceased to exist on their own. Instead of two separate people, they are now considered to be a single unit: Brangelina. I have found this latest obsession nauseating. It isn’t just the rich and famous who
Recently I purchased the most anticipated game of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (aka-COD: MW2). This is the sixth COD game and the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I had previously bought, played and beat COD 4: MW but it left me wanting more. So I jumped at the opportunity to solidify my re-born gamer status with the new
Humans are social creatures. We like to surround ourselves with people that we like and get along with. We call these people: friends. When we are in happy times, we often try to increase the number in our social circle. It makes for livelier parties, more interesting discussions, and options for whom to take to the next concert. We meet friends
Those of us who are in the dating world often wonder what it is that we’re supposed to be looking for, in one word: love. As children we experience our first love, familial love. Those affections that are directed towards the people we grow up around and those who raise us. It is a devotion that we feel, almost from birth. Then there is
I keep watching the news lately and hating Congress. Actually, this feeling has been slowly overtaking me since 2004 when John Kerry ran against George W Bush. I called that year the “I’ll do the opposite of President Bush” campaign. I was disgusted when people criticized Kerry from a military standpoint when he has an obvious war record. I
I remember when I use to be able to come home at the end of the day and check my answering machine. I could walk out to the mailbox and see if there was a letter waiting for me. All that may still be available, but they are the least common options used. Answering machines got replaced by voicemail and letters got replaced by email. In a
Gwen dragged me to STAR WARS IN CONCERT this past weekend. The energy of all the fans was palpable and I loved being around individuals who loved something so much they felt compelled to dress like their favorite characters. I always enjoy going to fandom events but at the same time going always makes my imagination run wild with elaborate
There was a time that the term NERD had a negative connotation. They were the kids that got picked on in school and were unsuccessful with the opposite sex. Nerds, dorks, geeks, whatever you want to call them- didn't play sports, weren't popular, and rarely had a social life. Ah, how times have changed. Getting good grades is not something to
