So I decided to go and work on a German horse farm in December.

I swept all potential obstacles aside and was so determined to escape Christmas that even a strength-sapping cough at the tail end of a two-week cold bug wasn't enough to stop me from embarking on my incredibly well-planned adventure.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's alright. She moves in mysterious ways." Hello, one and all. This one's a special list, as it profiles a band that both my BFF, Oates, and I love.

Carlos GonzalezPublished 7 years ago in BeatHow to Survive School with Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar Disorder has an awful stigma attached to its name. Chances are, if you mention your experience with it to a stranger, they'll either respond with something like, "I think I might be bipolar because sometimes my attitudes change kinda fast," or they'll not-so-subtly scoot away, their hand reaching for their pepper spray should you do anything unpredictable.

A lot of us know alot about the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, Coast Guard, etc. But what about the Army National Guard? Most of us have heard of it before, but don't quite know enough about it. And, of course, we should know more about all of the armed forces who fight for our country and keep us safe.
Jacqueline HanikehPublished 7 years ago in ServeMovie Review: 'Friend Request'
Friend Request is yet another failed attempt to combine social media and horror. It really shouldn’t be that hard to combine the two when you consider the daily horrors that social media enacts upon us when we simply pick up our phones, but filmmakers have thus far made the combination look impossible. Social media has numerous innate existential horrors that could be exploited by a smart filmmaker but the question seems to come back to how you can exploit that for a body count and so far no one has been able to pull that off.

Few things say “normal” like television, our public square, our soapbox in Hyde Park, our platform for the popular and unpopular alike.

I’m a huge fan of Investigation Discovery, and two weeks ago I came across a new show called Shattered. Shattered is about the impact of a crime, and what follows that life-changing collision.
