What My Dog Taught Me About Pitbulls

 Meet Nola. 4 years old and 50 pounds of excitement, affection, hunger, silliness and poop. She's a lab/pitbull mix I adopted at 3 months, and I have to admit that at the time I had no idea what I was getting into.

America's Top 5 Guilty Pleasures

We're a country that likes to live in the moment... and let's face it we all have our fair share of guilty pleasures.  For some, it's hoarding every cat you come across and ending up on a TV show.  For others, it's singing Foreigner at the top of your lungs, eating a tub of ice cream and crying over your degree because of how awesome the job market is. Here's the top 5 for the country as a whole

Behind the Red Equal Sign

"Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law... For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."

Get Away, Without Going Broke

It's spring!  Well, at least it's spring everywhere but New England and Western states where it keeps snowing every other day.  Still, people are itching to get away on vacation. The hardest thing about it: not spending your entire life saving and rainy-day fund in the process. With a little research, it's definitely possible.

Free Things: Hell Yea or Hell No?

At first I'm inclined to answer this question with a very bold "Hell Yea!" but upon further review I've discovered that at times "free" is possibly more wrong than Zach Galifianakis in a mini skirt. Sorry about that disturbing mental image.

In The News: ObamaCare's Shocking Facts

We might be "out of the recession" but with continuing crippled finances and hard times, the US might be in for a big surprise. While initially it seemed promising with many benefits, ObamaCare will create shocking changes... and yes, you're affected, unless you're of Mitt Romney's status.

How To: Live With Your Significant Other (Without Killing Them)

Living with your significant other is a huge step... and we've all heard the horror stories of:  She loves him, he loves her, they move in together, they plot each other's murder, nasty breakup... just bad news.

Can't Sleep? 5 Proven Ways to Beat Insomnia

Insomnia: the inability to get a sufficient amount of sleep needed to wake up feeling rested and refreshed. It's been estimated that insomnia affects more than half of the adult population in the US. Thankfully, there's a lot you can do to keep yourself from becoming zombie-like

Why Women Need Other Women

I'm sure it's pretty obvious, even for those of you who don't know me, but I'm more like one of the guys than a girl's girl. I've been this way for as long as I can remember, and it hasn't been until the past few years that I realized how important female friends are.

Cardinal Says Pedophilia Isn't a Crime

With an already horrid reputation, you're probably not the least bit shocked about the latest statement from a South African Cardinal.  In fact, it was potentially more disturbing than the hundreds of comments from the Republican Party... too bad our bodies don't have the ability to shut themselves down when they're being stupid.  Apparently we can only do that when becoming pregnant after rape (regardless of legitimacy of said rape) dumbasses...

Bill Gates : "Lift Gay Ban!"

Most of us know Bill Gates as the Microsoft co-founder guy and philanthropist. Unless you've done some extensive research on him, you probably don't know that he was a boy scout... or that he supports gay marriage. Believe it or not... I'm fired up about it too.

3 Reasons Why Women Suck (not in the good way)

25 years is plenty of time to observe (probably too in-depth) the differences between men and women.  I've learned it's not hard to see that we're wired very differently. For example, men have 5 main thoughts: food, beer, sex, video games, sleep.  While these might repeat several times in any given order... they don't necessarily change. Women on the other hand...

Jeff Gordon's Viral BS

A new viral video has hit the internet, and ever-failing news stations, where NASCAR's Jeff Gordon pranks a car salesman with an outrageous test-drive.  The whole thing seems staged... and while I'm not shocked, news stations should be ashamed for delivering this as NEWS.

Will The Power Go Out On Ray Lewis Yet?

Just when you finished celebrating because you thought you saw the last of the retiree in the Super Bowl,the power goes out again.  Only this time, it's because Ray Lewis isn't quite done yet. The only difference is, he obviously won't be playing the game anymore - he'll be talking about it.

Shiny, Happy Zombie Nation

If you're anything like me, you know (at least) a few people whose only thoughts consist of undead roaming the earth as brain vultures.  Some of them might even have plans and anti-zombie gear.  If they're smart though, you wouldn't know about these plans. But what's more interesting is WHY a zombie apocalypse is so intriguing...

A Sexy Evolution

Anyone who grew up before the explosion of internet and cell phones will tell you that (almost) no one took pictures of their boobs... let alone share the pictures with other people!  Thanks to high speed internet and daily cell phone upgrades, sexting is more popular than actual face-to-face conversation... and potentially more interesting, too!

Stuck In the 90s

The 90s kid... complete with body glitter, plaid, a Leo DiCaprio obsession, and a Pearl Jam CD in a DiscMan... never really dies on the inside. For years you've been on the younger end of a generation gap blasting your music and helping all the old people learn how to email. The times are changing, my cargo-pants-wearing twenty-somethings...

PETA : Slams Video Games

For the gamers who have played Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, you know that you're able to hunt whales with harpoons. PETA, who is supposed to care about real and living animals, decides this is a good time to go completely beserk and bash the living hell out of video games....

Hide Your Kids!

 The Washington Times reported last week that thousands... Yes, THOUSANDS, of California's sex offenders remove their GPS trackers and are not having to deal with harsh consequences.  Right here you might think, "Oh, well that's not cool..."  You're damn right, but wait it gets so much worse...
