Spiritual Experiences with Mark Rothko
The National Gallery of Art in D.C. houses some of the world’s best pieces of art. The East
Building of the NGA is becoming one of my favorite stops. Within the walls is an impressive
display of Mark Rothko’s works, an extraordinary abstract...

Reasons to not eat shrooms at work...

2004-11-17
Mushrooms are the worst food, if you can call them food, on the face of the planet, quite possibly
in the universe (although I must say that I was forced by a roomful of priests once to eat
tripe...words don\'t describe the mental pain and physical anguish i went through for days after
that...
The Da Vinci Code Guide To Dating
by Justin Lawrence Trawick
2004-11-17
I\'ve never really been very good at dating. In fact, I think I can safely say that I am pretty
oblivious to the whole practice. It always seems that the person that I really want to get to know
has no interest in me and the person who actually does want to get to know doesn\'t register on...
The Next Four Years
by Wendi Strickland
2004-11-03
Well, the election has officially been called. Many people are already cracking jokes about
emigrating. I used to make similar jokes in years past, but I have to be honest – lately, that
attitude is starting to really piss me off. As do the first-time voters whose candidate of choice
doesn’t win,...
A Third World Eye Opened for a New World Kind of Girl
by Kelly LeTard
2004-09-19
I am disgusted with myself. This is not uncommon after a good thrust of reality. I am here in
the beautiful third world country of Indonesia on vacation. Today, my concerns were:
1- Will I get to play tennis?
2- Will I get a nap?
3- Will I get a batik...
Living: Reflecting on Shawshank
by Jaime Alvis
2004-09-19
So living in a new place and being by myself I have started to yearn for “noises” that are
familiar. You know, the sound of the turn signal in a car that your dad is driving late at night
home from Christmas at Granny and Grandaddy’s with you and your sister sleeping in the back seat.

Music City USA: Strip Clubs and College Students
by Sandy Craven
2004-09-19
There are a few things Nashville has no shortage of: strip clubs, constantly changing street
names (don’t get me started on *that* one), For Rent signs, and coffee shops. And this time of
year, as the autumn breeze softly cools the once thick and heavy southern air, another item can be
added...

Music City, USA
by Sandy Craven
2004-09-02
I had a conversation with a man in the park the other day; a man I had never seen or spoken to
before. He rode a rusting bicycle and carried a pack on his back. His face was covered with grey
stubble and his shoes sported rips and holes. We talked about the music industry, the local music
and music...

"New York is the last true city."
-Toni Morrison
Hey readers! Justin and I have been friends since we were little; we grew up on the same gravel
road in Virginia, so when he asked me if I wanted to write for his new web site, I thought "why
not?" I'm a recent grad of New...
Living
by Jaime Alvis
2004-08-30
Lately I've been having questions about life, especially after having graduated college, gotten a
full time job in a new city, in a new apartment, and newly single. Everything is new. I am making
new friends, trying to save money to buy new clothes and shoes for Fall, paying new bills, and
living...
Setting Goals
by Wendi Strickland
2004-08-27
Where are you, now? Home in your underwear, out of work, sitting in your too-small box of an office,
curled on the couch...we all know the story. Do me a small favor and picture where you'd like to be.
Excellent. How do we get there, folks? That's right, in unison now;

Olympic Dreams
The last trumpet has sounded on the Summer Olympic Games, and I must say I am a bit relieved. It
was grand, a success after all the speculation of dismal failure, and tons of athletes went home
with some of the ugliest jewelry ever designed. There were so many...
It is 1:20am...

As any person with dual citizenship, I wanted to take full advantage of it and the family that is on
the other side of the world. So, for six months I am in Australia on "vacation." This is what
everyone should do when they graduate from college or "uni" as they say here and take advantage of
all...
