About two or three months ago, I was having an intimate moment with a guy when I thought of Dave Chapelle.I know, I know, during sex with a guy is a bad time to think about a comedian who put a whole new meaning to the phrase "Back to Africa", but let me explain.There was a funny skit in Chapelle's show where the come up with...

There's an old Cathy where the title's character, a single woman, is having trouble getting service in a resturant because the waiters are convinced she's waiting for someone.

Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Dreamcypher by the Cruxshadows
1 of 1

When I first got my copy of Florida darkwave band The Cruxshadows latest endevor, Dreamcypher, my first thought was that it might be quite interesting.

My name is Ariadne, and I am a Goth.I would first like to start out by saying this: whatever misconceptions you have about Goths or the Gothic movement, end it now. I do not wear whiteface (I live in South Florida, so wearing that stuff isn't an option), I do not cut myself, I do not contemplate suicide all the time. With the... More..

Anyone who has been paying attention to the news lately has heard about the Columbine Massacre where in 1999, two alleged goths killed a bunch of students, then themselves. It was shocking to all of us, so assured that our schools were safe.As in all tragidies, people wanted answers for why this happened. They blamed the two ... More..
