Zyns Of Our Fathers

February 5, 2024 No Comments

Nicotine? The government wants to keep the youth safe amidst a subculture perpetuated by social media influence. This is another step in a long lineage of nicotine use, where the line between fear and knowledge seems to blur.

The Missed Connections of Craigslist

January 4, 2024 No Comments

Craigslist is not a desired destination for many. Of course, I’m all but certain the majority of people have heard of the original online marketplace, or at the very least have traversed the massive, nearly endless, online catalog of personal listings that range from cars or couches to jobs or those seeking roommates. With the rise of Facebook Marketplace and other online marketplace applications in recent years, Craigslist seems to have a dwindling use amongst younger generations, or at the very minimum, no longer wields the reputation it once had.

I Accidentally Committed Piracy

19 June, 2023

I’m sure this comes as no surprise but I am not a technologically-savvy person. Setting up my own internet and remembering the multiple variations of the same password often proves difficult for me. If I had the choice, I would use a flip phone. I’d receive everything through the mail and pay my bills...

Rockies And Tacos: A History

16 June, 2023

It’s time we talk about tacos. I’ve wanted to dive into this subject matter for some time now, but seeing as Denver sports are finding success and championships often in the recent decade, it feels out of place to discuss anything in relation to the Rockies.

The Ten-Year Anniversary Of This Is The End

12 June, 2023

Ten years ago I saw This Is The End for the first time. For those who lived a sheltered life, this was a creation from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg that saw nearly everyone who was a part of Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Pineapple Express all congregate onto one set, to make a completely outlandish...

Ten Lessons From Raiders Of The Lost Ark

20 May, 2023

It’s amazing. Harrison Ford, Nazis, reunited love, a car chase that goes on forever and the release of a godly power no man is capable of utilizing. I don’t know what else to say. It brings me back up when the going gets tough.

I Watched Bupkis

07 May, 2023

The lives of celebrities often feel comparable to a show. Maybe it’s not a good show, but it’s one of those shows people can’t seem to look away from, like seeing a train set ablaze, steaming down the tracks with an incapacitated conductor, heading right towards a nursery, a disaster in the making. The...

Some Appreciation For The Cold Opening Day

30 March, 2023

It’s beautiful. Earth is not yet ready for baseball but baseball doesn’t care. That’s mainly because there’s a ridiculous 162 games that need to be played, and if we don’t start when a majority of the states are still escaping from winter’s grip, then things just won’t add up. So, America’s pastime is...

Tales Of A Part-Time Employee

01 February, 2023

I don’t talk about where I work. Anyone who has worked as a part-time employee—call it hourly, retail, lackey, regardless of the term it’s a job where you're a small piece of the bigger machine—can resonate with this to a certain extent. Sometimes the reluctance to speak about work stems from the number...

It's Perfectly Normal To See A Movie By Yourself (Or, The Review of Puss In Boots: The Last Wish)

11 January, 2023

I’d like to preface this piece by saying that a lot of people do a lot of weird things, and if the epitome of my weirdness is going to the movies by myself—and if the subscript to that specific weirdness is going alone to see an animated movie as a 25-year-old—then I’d say it’s a perfectly normal activity...

Venmo's Social Currency

03 December, 2022

There’s boredom and then there’s the level of boredom someone reaches when they begin to swipe through their Venmo feed. Certainly it’s not a level of desperation that would lead them to Facebook, the wasteland reserved for everyone’s aunts and uncles and parents to entertain themselves with.

Rambo Has Feelings Too

21 October, 2022

It feels like I should’ve seen this a long time ago. I can imagine a thirteen-year-old me stuck at home during winter break with nothing to do other than glue my eyes to a television screen and my Dad—in his ever obsession with war movies and any type of military-related media—would turn on First Blood...
