A year ago, I wrote a post entitled “What It Means to Debate.” Looking back on what I had written, I still agree largely with what I had written. But alas, we are never stationary and that means that my opinion has changed, shifted, and accumulated much more knowledge and experience since when I lastContinue reading “8 things I have to say about debate”

Clothes are just clothes, except maybe a little more
Clothes are just clothes, you know? But at the same time, they are more than just garments that you drape all over your body. They are more than warmth, or sustenance. They make a statement. Yet, if it’s a Tuesday, and if you have a paper due, and if you don’t want your body toContinue reading “Clothes are just clothes, except maybe a little more”
Yellow fever
Asian invasion, takin’ over your nation… I think that growing up in a Christian private school, the way for me to most feel singled out is not by gender, since I had half of the students there to back me up. It was not by sexual orientation, because I am among the majority and becauseContinue reading “Yellow fever”
fb iz so kewl
Chances are, unless there is something remotely interesting or special about your birthday (it’s on Christmas, it’s the same as mine, my sister’s, something like that), I won’t know that it is your birthday and I won’t wish you a happy one. What happened? Why don’t I take the time to learn people’s birthdays andContinue reading “fb iz so kewl”
On Independence
When I hear the word independence, I think first of a song by The Band Perry that I’ve always liked; one of the few country songs that I’ve ever enjoyed. The lyrics that I can recall by heart go something like: Most of my friends will live and die in this zip code… To me,Continue reading “On Independence”
I Run the Blog, The Blog Does Not Run Me
Blogs are very versatile tools, for people of all ages, for people with all sorts of interests and backgrounds, with any and every intention. Some come to write because the Internet is a remarkable forum for people to share their ideas and opinions. That being said, the optimal blog (in my opinion) is one thatContinue reading “I Run the Blog, The Blog Does Not Run Me”
I May Not Respect You, But I Respect Your Work
Depending on how it is portrayed and explained, a child’s amateur collage could be transformed into a work of art that is complex, deep, and enigmatic. If you step back and simply look at it, it’s a piece of construction paper with paper triangles and circles sloppily glued on, and it might be your personalContinue reading “I May Not Respect You, But I Respect Your Work”
If you like it, then you should be able to put a ring on it.
You saw the big red equals sign and wanted to run, didn’t you? You read the title of the post and thought with exasperation, “Dang it, she’s gonna defend her opinion.” Well don’t worry, I won’t try to preach about one thing or another. I will express my opinion, but not directly about the extremelyContinue reading “If you like it, then you should be able to put a ring on it.”
Guest Post: What IS Fashion?
There are people all across the world that are passionate about what they wear and how they look. Just observe the rush to pick up the latest releases of glossy magazines on a weekly and monthly basis and you will see what we mean.
Enjoy The Music But Nothing More
Enjoy the music. Submerge yourself in your own interpretation of the lyrics. Bath in the rhythm. Bask in the beat. Do whatever you need to do to show your appreciation of beautiful music, but stop getting so excited about the artists themselves. It’s somewhat difficult to say that I have a favorite artist. I callContinue reading “Enjoy The Music But Nothing More”
