I’ve never been the biggest fan of Miley Cyrus. I didn’t like Hannah Montana, and therefore had a negatively biased opinion of the rest of Miley’s music. When “Can’t Be Tamed” came out in 2010, I was obsessed with it. Miley had a new, more mature sound and she carried it well. I liste... - Reviews > Music ReviewsFirst One Direction broke into America. Then Cher Lloyd came. Then I heard a Rebecca Ferguson song on the radio. And now? Mr. Olly Murs. They must feed all of the contestants Wheaties throughout taping The X Factor (UK). That’s the only explanation I can think of. Murs has recently swept the na...
- Reviews > Music ReviewsWhen I was younger, Play was my favorite band. If you have no idea who I’m talking about, don’t feel bad. The Swedish girl group was relatively popular in Sweden and the United States, but they were never the female One Direction. Their song “Cinderella” was covered for the first “Cheetah ...
- Reviews > Music ReviewsWell, well, well, Justin Timberlake. To our radio waves, you have returned. I only wish it were under better circumstances. With shallow lyrics and a mediocre beat, “Suit & Tie” is definitely not what I would have picked for his big comeback single. I’m not even sure what the song is about...
- Reviews > Music ReviewsThe performance starts off with Janet singing on stage by herself in what looks like a ridiculously long skirt. Moments later, the skirt falls down and she is in a kick-ass full-body suit. Dancers join her on stage as she sings: “You pull on my heartstrings. Give me my life wings. Warm up the froz...
- Poetry > Free VerseI am from two stories and winding green vines. From ancient gray brick and roofing gone with time, Beautiful and quiet. I am from wooden floors and quilted beds. From old creaking doors and dusty window sills, Peaceful and familiar. I am from rusted knobs and squeaking floor boards. ...
- Reviews > Music ReviewsIf you’ve heard of Taylor Swift or any of her songs (and let’s face it, who hasn’t nowadays?) then you’ve probably heard her scathing shame-on-you song that many believe to be about singer/song writer John Mayer. Of course, until Swiftie herself comes right out and identifies her Dear John (...
- Poetry > Free VerseI am from wispy curtains, From hard wooden floors, From mothball covered quilts To empty closet doors. Ten years have passed since I’ve seen your face, Since I’ve heard your laugh, Since I’ve been to this place. So many memories I can’t stand to forget. Even if grainy, they’re the ...
- Poetry > All PoetryI traveled over the blue broad ocean in the cold days of the winter, My wife and children in tow. Our aspiration was to find a better life away from the violence of our home. We came upon the Lady of New York, and from there journeyed west To lands covered in a sheet of white snow. I soon fou...

- Poetry > Free VerseYou call them fake; They're liars, cheaters, bullies who shouldn't walk this earth. They're internally and externally hideous. They're fabricated, cookie-cutter stereotypes, it's pathetic, really, how they try so hard. How long can they pretend to be perfect people? H...
- Poetry > Free VerseI'm awkward. Loud. Ugly. I should dress like her. I talk too much. Why don't I wear makeup always? I'll never forget what you say while I'm here. You'll never recall after you're through. When I'm gone, you'll always remember every last word....
- Opinion > Movies / Music / TVFor the last time in 43 years, the sun is setting on Agnes Nixon’s fictitious city of Llanview, Pennsylvania. Rex and Natalie were both finally reunited with their true loves, Matthew stepped up to the responsibilities of teenage fatherhood just in time for Destiny to bear their child, and finally...
- Opinion > Movies / Music / TVWhen I was weighing the idea of writing my column about the lack of relevancy most of the winners of “American Idol” have after their season is over, there was one response I got repeatedly. “What about Adam Lambert?” From my mom, to my friends, to my newspaper advisor, nearly everyone t...
- Opinion > School / CollegeAs much as it pains me to say this, I do watch the occasional Disney Channel programming (not always on my own accord, mind you). Disney has been airing one of their latest DCOMs (that’s Disney Channel Original Movie, for those who have actual lives), “Geek Charming,” with extra vigor in recen...
- Poetry > Free VerseToo long do we take to move on. You there— Small and wrinkled, your skin Soft and oily— Unable to hold yourself upright, or to communicate. We want you to see what there is to be seen on this planet, For you to walk down the street and do something as simple as greet the neighbors, Singin...
- Poetry > Free VerseApril showers bring May puddles riddled with mud and bugs and such, reflecting back a sorry face, lines, creases, age, weight. They splish and splash and wish and wash, rubber boots rooted to river rock with muddled mucky river guck. They cross the weathered willowed creek, water colde...
- Reviews > Movie ReviewsThe sun falls and the fog settles over a small seaside English town. On an island just off the coast, widowed lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) diligently sorts through papers and documents of a recently deceased woman, trying to get his job done as soon as possible in order to preserve his jo...
- Reviews > Movie ReviewsA weathered, worn and widowed ex-Confederate captain and cavalryman is scouring the West for gold. He is a bullet’s length away from being forced to join arms with the soldiers of a nearby fort in their efforts to defend themselves from the Apache natives. He escapes to a cavern where he finally f...
- Reviews > Music ReviewsThe newest American Idol, Scotty McCreery, has released his debut album, “Clear As Day.” While the country crooner doesn't rely as much on the deep voice that carried him through the “Idol” rounds, this record is full of catchy country tunes. As a sucker for country music, I was pleasa...
- Reviews > Movie ReviewsIt’s your typical spy movie; two partners, best friends, one with an American accent and the other with a predictably British accent both with the overall goal of kicking bad guy butt and crossing names off of the FBI’s most wanted list. But in the name of the stereotypical young man, the two ag...
- Nonfiction > Celebrity interviewsA little girl, no older than three, comes crashing out of a bedroom. She plops down in front of the television and readily awaits her favorite part of the morning. The commercial that had been playing comes to an end and in fades the familiar inner-city street. Right on cue, she starts singing: ...
- Opinion > Movies / Music / TVNewer is always better. Or is it? It seems like every magazine advertisement, every commercial, every show is telling us that if it’s the newer choice, it’s the better choice. Which in some cases may be true (you can’t watch the latest Winnie the Pooh movie on DVD if you only have a VH...
- Fiction > Thriller/Mystery“This town sucks in the fall,” said Mel as she blew her long blonde hair out of her face. Emily nodded in agreement. The two were walking home after school as they did every day, passing the hollow that led up the mountain to Shay Manor. Shay Manor was an 18th century era mini-mansion that the t...
- Fiction > Fan FictionThe Puddlemere United Quiddich team cheerfully entered the Leaky Cauldron after their most recent victory against the Chudly Cannons. They had, unsurprisingly, beat them by a landslide score of 320-30, once again proving that Puddlemere was unbeatable, or maybe just that the Cannons were simply terr...
