With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington as well as the 18 states that admit medical cannabis, April 20, or 420, has become the unofficial cannabis holiday as potheads and stoners alike prepare their bongs, blunts and lungs for what is slowly becoming a national weekend and pastime.  This 420 is gearing up to be the most grand of them all as…

This is a hot topic because GenY has been leaning towards more of a non-committed relationship, so they could pursue their dreams and careers. Others still want a relationship, but they are more afraid of being rejected, so they just go with the flow.…

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin have become iconized not only for their rock n’ roll and psychedelic sound, but for their original, experimental and overall mind-blowing album cover artwork.  But less well-known is Storm Thorgerson, the visionary behind such famous graphic designs as the color prism that sprawls across the cover of The Dark Side of the…

Unfortunately, yet another tragedy has struck and for the next 24 hours we will again, remember how precious life is.  We will remember how important it is to give loved ones that extra squeeze right before breaking a hug.  We will remember how irrelevant traffic jams, gas prices and Wal-Mart lines truly are.  The value of life is reinforced as we forget the skin color of the…

So it was three in the morning when my friend was on the phone crying.  She was telling me about how she was dating this guy and he went out with his friend without her. I asked her  why was she mad about that and she said that it was because he did not invite her. I asked her if…

I remember when dating used to be next to impossible for me. I remember  breaking  it off with  amazing guys because it would stress me out way too much. Now I know what you are thinking, what did they do that stressed me out? The answer to that is nothing, they would  do absolutely nothing, but not answer my text messages or my calls. I am not kidding I would text them and if they did not…
