Happy Easter! - The True Meaning of Easter

Like so many other holidays, Easter is another day filled with great meaning, but utterly lost on the majority of those who celebrate it. Surprisingly, Easter was not originally intended for a day of giant bunnies, egg coloring, and marshmallow treats. I hope to show the symbolism (if there is any) of our current traditions and expose the real meaning behind this celebration. But can Jesus truly compete with today's traditions?

"Fear not, for I am Jesus and have returned with colored eggs and marshmallow treats!"

Soundtracks To Our Lives

Were you ever listening to the radio and a song came on that made you go, "I wish that song would follow me everywhere I went." And then you realized it was "In The Navy" by the Village People. Well, that kind of happened to us, but with less...questionable songs. Yeah, not sure where to go with this introduction, the Village People reference came kind of early, so...

This is the segue sentence.

Why Dishonored Is A Terrible Game

Dishonored is the revolutionary game made by the same people who brought you Skyrim. It, in an extremely basic sense, is you, Corvo, are an assassin framed for a murder and must work through elaborate settings to reach the ultimate goal of clearing your name. The game is praised for its open world-like levels that allow for alternate routes and unlimited distractibility, as well as the numerous ways to finish the game. What makes it so incredible and offers amazing replay value comes in the fact that you can either run through the level with guns blazing or, even more fun, use your assassin skills to sneak through without ever being detected and killing no enemies.

You feel just as badass as this looks.

The Weirdest People You Believed In As A Child

Our parents made us believe some pretty weird things as kids, like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. But looking back on those beliefs, they're some of the most messed up things I have ever heard of...and I've heard some pretty weird shit, like the Alabama Crab Dangler for starters. Feel free to follow us on this journey as we analyze these beliefs, but most importantly, relive the very weird childhood you had.

3 Most Awesome Craigslist Missed Connections

Taking a look at Craigslist just the other day, a section caught my eye that I never noticed before: Missed Connections.  I had no idea what to expect when I entered it.  Right from the start, I knew this place was going to be great as I was greeted by a "warning & disclaimer" asking if I am 18 years old and if I know about safe sex.  At this point, I could only assume that it was a section trying to find the mothers and fathers of abandoned babies, most likely started by Maury Povich.  I was wrong and disappointed, but that didn't mean there was no entertainment value in reading these postings.  Some were cute, "Looking for a woman that struck my heart when she let me go ahead of her in line," and some were just rape-like observations, "Saw you jogging in the park while sitting on a bench."

"I saw you jogging in the park as I sat on the park bench
exactly 100 feet from the elementary school."

3 Ways Disney Can Make Great Star Wars Movies

Star Wars fans everywhere are eager to see the new movies Disney plans to make for the epic series...let's just hope they're better this time. Rumors and speculation for who will be in the new movies and what direction they may take has been nonstop since the initial press release. Here are a few things Disney should keep in mind and steer clear of before they make the new movies.

3. No Original Actors
Rumors have been flying around like Bette Midler on a broomstick about actors like Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford expressing interest in being in the new Star Wars movies. With all due respect, they're old. I feel like they could tell me how dirt was made. The original actors were great in the original trilogy, but these are new movies that need new actors to revitalize the franchise.

5 Reasons It Would Suck To Live In Bikini Bottom

There have been numerous conspiracy theories that Spongebob Squarepants, the popular Nickelodeon show featuring a carefree yellow sponge and other strange creatures, is set in the area of Bikini Atoll, a nuclear testing site.  In case you didn't know, the city that Spongebob lives in is called Bikini Bottom, coincidence?  Well, not likely.  Considering there would be some kind of genetic mutations among the sea creatures living under Bikini Atoll, the fact that they can talk and produce physically impossible offspring (referring to Mr. Krabs having a whale, Pearl, as a daughter) makes some sense.

One of life's greatest mysteries.

Changes Are A Comin'

The Most Suicidal Animals

The way some animals behave is downright stupid. You would think that an animal's first concern is self-preservation, but particular animals seems to act with such reckless abandon that it's safe to say they have an almost suicidal inclination. Here's a few animals that seem to misunderstand the meaning of life and maybe even make your life worse in the process.

Cats
You know the phrase, "Curiosity killed the cat?" That's what they want you to think. In reality, cats try to kill themselves in curious ways. Whether they fall off the refrigerator or get sliced in half by a ceiling fan, cats are the Evel-frickin'-Knievels of the animal kingdom. 

Why Skipping Myspace And Going Straight To Facebook Ruined My Life

Facebook connects over a billion people, which is mind blowing because it's only nine years old.  Myspace, on the other hand, is ten years old and connects about 50 people who refuse to switch to Facebook.  Oh, and there's Friendster, which connects nobody at all.  It's these drastic differences that made me join Facebook first, well, not really, I was one of those kids, back in high school, who was coaxed into joining Facebook.  Yes, I did have the option of joining Myspace at the time, but people convinced me to join Facebook, so I skipped the bunny social network and went straight to the black diamond.

I should have tried Myface first, the only offline social network.

Introversion: Costs and Benefits

For some reason, our culture typically frowns upon an individual's seclusion from society. But what many don't understand about introversion is that it frees up an enormous amount of time to accomplish fulfilling tasks in your life.

Haircuts
As a boy with long hair, or a boy in general, getting a haircut is usually an unnecessary cost. But with the enormous amount of time I have from my introverted activities, I have learned to cut my own hair and save money in the process!

You're expected to make a few mistakes when you cut your own hair...

The Awesome Message Behind Two Of Dr. Seuss' Most Popular Books

Most people know Dr. Seuss as the guy who wrote nonsense stories that teach children how to rhyme fake words with pictures drawn by a four-year-old child, not a man who figured out how to communicate political views and morals through children's books.

Little known fact: His books came from hallucinations.
