Ah, to be a teenager. To be all lanky bones and emotions. When every experience was new, and yet you felt kind of done with all of it. As though we were in a hurry to get jaded, having no idea what was really ahead. It’s a strange little stretch of life, and, in truth, none of us should be held too heavily accountable for our embarrassing...
Are you looking for a way to pass the time? Sitting on the bus, maybe, or in a waiting room? Or, more realistically, are you supposed to be working right now and you’re on the clock but you just want the clock to go faster? No worries. We won’t tell on you. We literally can’t. We don’t even know who you are, Kevin. Unless...
If you told me that my life depended on distilling my generation down to one simple phrase I might come up with something like “nihilistically nostalgic.” In fact, maybe I wouldn’t even need to say the phrase, maybe it would be better to just pull up the Instagram account @bubblepunk, where one very talented graphic designer...
Singlehood is much maligned and bemoaned in general, but it’s really not all bad. There are lots of advantages to being on your own – for instance, when I make myself my terrible food, I’m the only one who has to suffer for it and nobody judges me except me, and I’m pretty forgiving. But the list doesn’t end there,...
You ever heard the term “always a bridesmaid, never a bride?” It’s a sort of self-pitying lament that though you’re always close to love, you never quite find it yourself. However, I think in terms of real gut punch it would pale in comparison to something like “always engaged, never married.” That one...
It’s always sad to see a marriage fall apart, but it’s kind of rare that you can see the actual exact moment when it breaks. Rarely are things just going perfectly well before getting destroyed by a single incident, of course, it’s more of a progression of cracks slowly forming before something heavy enough comes along to finally...
According to brides.com the average couple today is together for about 2-5 years before getting engaged to be married. And, yanno, that seems about right. But some folks just don’t want to wait. Sometimes, they’re sure. Or at least in a real big hurry. That’s what went on with the people who left these anonymous confessions...
Not to date this post too much, but at the time of writing I’m smack dab in the long waiting period between Loki Season 1 and the announced Loki Season 2 and I’m just about angry about it. I gotta know what happens next! And a large part of exactly why that’s so urgently important is the show’s star, Tom Hiddleston....
One time not too long ago, I woke up in the morning and somehow stretched so wrong that I hurt my leg and couldn’t walk right for about three days. That’s when I knew that I was getting older. And also remembered that our bodies are stupid fragile, and we can always manage to find new ways to hurt ourselves. What is the stupidest...
I think if I had to name a favorite movie villain, as cliche as it sounds, The Joker would definitely be up there. But even though that character has had several masterful performances by legendary actors, there’s always been a take on the Joker I’ve wanted to see but have never had realized on the screen. What if he were just...
