I am so glad I grew up offline. Don't get me wrong, I cherish and enjoy every single solitary second I spend on this sacred place we call “the internet.” However, I'm glad my uncensored access to the world wide web didn't begin until I was 12. I still grew up during the era when little kids didn't have phones, and we just watched the same episode of Hannah Montana over and over again to amuse ourselves. We were still flying our brains, but with Cartoon Network instead of TikTok. Kids no longer…

It's coming

I feel like everyone has been in the state of mind where you often tell yourself, “I just have to get through this week.” Of course, when you inevitably get through the week, you start thinking the same thing the next week. This can be a red flag that maybe, just maybe, you're going through an objectively difficult period of your life. But at the same time, it can be the greatest cope known to man. Even if it feels futile, I'm glad we have cute little coping mechanisms like telling ourselves we…

Take your time

One of the cool things about living in New York is that some institutions will reward you for being young. This probably isn't something exclusive to New York, but there are a lot of things to do here, and when those things are under $30, it makes it a lot easier. If you are under 35, you can get $30 tickets to Lincoln Center musicals, and I think that's pretty neat. The majority of the people in the audience are geriatric, and I am satisfied knowing they're paying full price while I spent the…

‘Neil Banging Out The Tunes’ is an old meme, but not as old as you think. The image of the rodent playing a rainbow instrument was dated April 13th 2006, but it wasn't posted online until late 2014.

It still makes me smile that "Goblin Mode" was Oxford's 2022 Word of the Year. Say what you will about British dictionaries, but they sure have a sense of humor. The idea that “Goblin Mode” is not a real word is simply hogwash. “Goblin Mode” is more of a word than the word “hogwash!" Words are invented all the time, and even if a word only makes waves within a small community, it is still a word. My family made up a term that I believe could gain traction due to its usefulness. My dad defines a…

Catch them if you can!

I love dogs. There's no getting around the fact that they are my favorite pets around, and I don't think anything will ever change that. I know many members of the meme community are cat people, which I respect. I wish I could be a cat person , but I don't have it in me. I don't want to beg an animal to like me, and whenever I meet a cat, I feel it is necessary. I know factually how to get a cat on my side. It's a long haul. You're not going to become a cat's best friend the first time you meet…

iCarly stans, it's time to move on

I'm obsessed with people who have their own little personal vernacular uniquely theirs. My Elementary school music teacher had such a way with words, particularly with coming up with “swear words” that were so unrecognizable from actual swear words. Whenever she got frustrated, she would say things like “fiddle faddle foo” or "need;

I think about the supervillain rise and fall of former Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner more than I should. If you've ever read anything about the history of Disney from the 80s to the 2000s, Eisner is guaranteed to be one of the main characters in the business side of things. If you're unfamiliar with the famous executive, this quote will tell you much of what you need to know. “We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a stat…

They're free!

Woah!!!

Fooled ya!

These are cool, we promise
