Pasts Kept Last
Back in 2009, I used to write poetry all of the time because I was 24, dark, and suffering. At one point I even tried to come out with a chapbook that was meant to be sold at a store in the West Village.
For one reason or another, the book was never released and I’ve been sitting on it for more than three years. After a lot of finagling and poking around, I figured out a way to get Pasts...

Multiple reports from Twitter show that some pretty impressive flooding has hit Brooklyn. The photo above was posted to Twitter by Jezerfic and was taken on Woodbine street in Bushwick, Brooklyn. I’ve also seen pictures from WilliamsburgGowanus and Park...

The Case for Spending a Little More Sometimes
A number of years ago, it was time to buy a new road bike. There was one that I always wanted, but it was more expensive than I could afford. I remember thinking that I should just settle for a cheaper bike, one that I didn’t really want but told myself would be fine.
But I decided that instead of settling for something I didn’t really want, I would wait until I could afford...
You Probably Have Too Much Stuff
When a man named Andrew Hyde began an adventure in minimalism, he only owned 15 things. It eventually moved to 39 and now it sits around 60. It all started when he decided to take a trip around the world and sell everything he didn’t need. As Mr. Hyde noted on his blog, it changed his life after a brief period of befuddlement:

Stop Dismissing the Chic-fil-A Fight
A few nights ago, a segment on The Daily Show chided the gay community for encouraging a boycott of Chick-fil-A following the assertion by Dan Cathy, President of Chick-fil-A, that gay marriage was against God’s plan.

The Case for No-Show Socks
Ah, summer! That special time of year when skin is everyone’s favorite accessory. Arms and chests come alive in tank-tops as legs glow in the sun, springing from the latest chambray shorts. But what about your poor feet? Sandals are an option, sure, but they never give off that cool-casual needed by many to easily blend from day to night. And tennis shoes are surely your best...
