Modern rap has lost it's sheen. Every beat is identical to the previous, lyrics have become watered down, and stylistically, it's nearly impossible to identify one emcee from the other. I assure you this, it wasn't always this way. Back before Rap music became all about rims, jewelry and violence, there was actually an occas... More..
Education > Homeschooling The benefits of homeschooling: 13 of 42
Home Schooling, From One Generation to The Next As a child, I was always on the fence in regards to my home schooling. Torn between an ideality of early freedom, and a strong desire for social interaction, I dealt with mood swings on a regular basis. At times the ability to work as long as I desired seemed a gift. At others,... More..

William Friedkin has returned with another stellar horror installment "Bug". Bug is a chilling film that dives into the darkest, dankest crevices of the human psyche, and squirms. While trailers were deceptive, and redefined the term 'teaser'; the film itself exceeds expectations with the greatest of ease. For those with a f... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Dawn of the Dead(2004): 3 of 6
Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of the 1979 cult classic Dawn Of The Dead is absolutely brilliant. Remakes rarely succeed in reaching a parallel with their original predecessors, let alone surpassing them, but Snyder has pulled some tricks from the bag and succeeded at performing the near impossible. Excellent cinematography and t... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Our beliefs can make or break us: 2 of 4
I'm not completely certain why I'm writing this. I've got an arsenal of emotions erupting inside of me, and I suppose, it's just time to let some of that go. I don't fully expect you to understand my logic, but expression will (hopefully) provide some level of relief for me, (on a deeply personal level) no matter how brief. ... More..

There comes a time in every athletes career when it's time to walk away. It's a heart breaking time, that betrays, essentially everything that athlete has come to know. The day to day physicaly regimens, the practice and training, most importantly: the competition. No one man lives forever, and no body is immune to the effec... More..
