Why “Friends” should be made into a movie
By: Tyler Deardorff Ok, let’s all be honest here. We miss Friends. We miss Joey saying “How you doin’?” We miss Ross making funny faces and high pitch noises and Rachel making her new hairstyles an annual event. We want that reunion so bad, yet it hasn’t happened.

Guilty Pleasure
By: Tyler Deardorff Tyler’s take on the almost YouTube billionaire. Everybody likes Lady Gaga. They’re just too afraid to admit it.

“Jackass 3D” Review

Artistic Threat Re-Cap: 1.) Sings (duh…) 2.) Dances (he’s getting better.) 3.) Acts (he appeared on CSI’s season premier this season) 4.) Apparently he writes now, too. … Continue reading

Harsh Realizations
Harsh Realization #1: As a second semester senior, I somehow had too much homework to be able to update this website like I should’ve. (Ok, I’ll be honest…I was also attempting to see everyone I possibly could before graduation day, too, BUT homework played a huuuge part in the lack of updating.)
