Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes The first time I sang karaoke

4 of 121

Ah, Karaoke. The rush of adreneline as the lights come on, the words flash across the screen and you attempt to become a legend in your local bar. Whether Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond, the Dixie Chicks or Patsy Cline, every great music legend has been mocked and idolized through karaoke.My first experience however, had nothing ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Soldiers & Veterans Why Americans should support the troops!

18 of 80

It's sad, but my most vivid memory of fourth grade is the discussions we had in class about the Gulf War.

The signs outside of businesses all said, "We support our troops" or "Pray for our Armed Forces." But I also remembe... More..

Dog-lovers, just like their pets, are a special breed. Those of us who own a dog know the feeling: the loved-no-matter-what feeling that comes with owning a four-legged, furry friend.

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Shoes

5 of 5

It's funny. Every memory comes complete with a pair of shoes. Some of these I've simply been told about, but others are vivid lace-up and patent-leather images in my head. For instance, every baby has their booties. I don't know if I ever actually wore them, but I had them. It's just tradition. You have a baby, you buy her bo... More..
