Ever feel like you need to get something off your chest? Sometimes I’ve just gotta talk it out. That’s why I’ve decided to do a monthly feature called “Thoughts On…” At the beginning of the month, I’ll provide a prompt to stimulate discussion. The point is to get us to put our thoughts out there…

I don’t want to be too picky when it comes to charity. After all, the important thing is that people give to those in need when they can. There shouldn’t be any parameters on generosity. That said, as I enter a more mature decade, I wanted to approach charity in a mature manner. I don’t…

I never thought of it this way, but people are obsessed with being obsessed. Instead of focusing on the latest craze itself, this article examines society’s craving for things to be crazed about.

I am usually intrigued whenever chicken or fish is “encrusted.” It makes the protein seem so special that it’s got its own protective armor of flavor. Usually putting a crust around something requires the right balance of oven temperature and cook time. You need to crisp up the outter layer without drying the rest of the…

Listening to hip hop could actually improve your mental state. Bring on the Nicki Minaj. In Indonesia, women who want to become police officers must undergo a virginity test. That means if you want to become a policewoman, you have to be degraded as someone performs the “two finger test” to determine if your hyman…

To say Celeste has a fetish would be a gross understatement. She is beyond just “turned on” by 14-year old boys. She likes them exclusively, to the point that she must drug herself to have sex with her [age-appropriate] husband. She is incredibly specific in her tastes – not too muscular so they still seem boyish,…
