(11/25/13 4:59am)
Next week most Americans will likely gather with family and friends to celebrate the annual thanks-giving ritual critical to American culture and tradition: Thanksgiving. The importance of Thanksgiving is being devalued, though, because a certain commercial trend gaining prominence—the ever-famous Black Friday. It is important to retain some sacred values in our society, and Thanksgiving fills that role—it is above both religious and ethnic heritage and can be embraced by all. Thanksgiving’s value is priceless and needs to be cherished. As a society we need to pull back our obsession with Black Friday and rethink our relationship with Thanksgiving.

Often a story goes beyond the big screen
(11/21/13 6:47am)
Gather ‘round folks, and I shall spin you a yarn. It’s a mighty tale that I’ve to tell. A tale of men. A tale of movies. A tale standing taller than the mightiest oak in the forest. A legend, more accurately—a legend about roller disco.
Black Friday shopping should take a backseat
(11/21/13 4:21am)
I love the tradition of Black Friday. On Thursday, I eat a gigantic meal with my family. Thursday night my mom and I look through all the department store flyers for Black Friday deals to decide where we will go and when. We’re up before the sun, eating McDonalds’ breakfast on the go and have waited in countless lines for early bird or door-buster deals. But Black Thursday crosses the line.
Lincoln's effort brings us hope
(11/20/13 5:45am)
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. These are words that, as Americans, we have all heard, and with the 150th anniversary of the “Gettysburg Address” being yesterday, Nov. 19, we should remember them now. These words clearly have enormous weight in the United States. But these words are more than mere words, they are the very pillars that support the American ideal.

Death Grips’ latest record drives deeper into darkness
(11/18/13 5:46am)
I recently read Death Grips’ now almost year-old interview with Pitchfork in which drummer and noise auteur Zach Hill demystified the big throbbing member on the cover of No Love Deep Web—which, at the time and considering the circumstances, seemed more like a giant and peevishly immature “fuck you” to Epic Records. “It really has to do with acceleration—culturally, on a world level—of sexuality in general, and getting past homophobia,” Hill said. “People should be able to look deeper into something rather than just seeing some dick. It’s also a spiritual thing; it’s fearlessness.”

Pondering possible afterlives

I came down with a nasty sickness over the weekend. Not like, “Achoo—can I have more ginger ale and bon bons, Mommy?” sick. It was more so, “Fuck, I’m going to die, goodbye, :(” sick.

Stop sharing sensational 'news' online
(11/14/13 3:50am)
Recently, a story about the Salvation Army circulated on Facebook that said the nonprofit hates the LGBTQ community. It even mentioned that the Salvation Army wants gay people to die. A member of the charity spoke on its behalf, and pictures of posters composed of hate speech coordinated with the article. I read it, I have heard about the Salvation Army’s stance about LGBTQ community in the past, I was horrified and I chose to share it. It was the most shared thing I have ever posted—multiple friends gave in-depth comments and shared it themselves.

(11/05/13 7:19am)
There’s a mantra that exists for many songwriters and musicians. It says that the best songs aren’t the ones with grandiose production or catchy hooks, but—when stripped down to just a singer and a guitar—still move the listener with their beauty and honesty.
