A belated Valentine’s. Enjoy!

Anyone familiar with Marilyn Manson will know that he is well known for his provocative and theatrical nature. Needless to say, his performance at the Stampede Corral on February 8th surpassed what I could imagine it would be. During one point in the show Manson appeared on stage dressed as the pope, hat and all,…
So, today I want to share with all you lovely folk one of my most treasured favorite pastimes — staring at fantastical art and architecture. Oh, and by the way, by “fantastical”, I don’t mean “really freakin’ awesome” (which, to be fair, most of these paintings are), but rather “magical” or “fantasy-inspired”. Like this: 1.…

However, many of us are trapped in a small bubble of well-known books, but really, there are sooooooo many great books out there, so look beyond the common trends! Before…

This week has been a bummer with school, but I found this thing that’s solved all my problems. 30 seconds of happiness for each video. So Gangnam Style was a big thing, but it’s so 2012 now. There’s this new dance meme called the Harlem Shake. The song that everyone does it to is by…

Valentines day is here! So what better way to pick up some ladies and gents then with pick up lines! I’m just joking of course but everyone can use a good laugh every now and then. I was wondering if you had an extra heart, mine seems to have been stolen. If you were words…

Last year, I wrote about a blog titled “Annoying things about Valentine’s Day”. This year I decided to counter my disgruntled opinions with something more enlightening (I find it a tad bit ironic how I was in a relationship when I was complaining about V-Day and am now single and am complimenting it). So February…
