The majority of people in the world are arguably “nice”… but do they have what it takes to be a good friend? 1. Humility - Perhaps the most important thing to look for in a friend is their ability to say “I’m sorry” when they have wronged you. No friendship can survive over time without apologies when someone has been hurt. Without humility, relationships quickly turn into a pile of bitterness and competition. Along with apologies, it’s also important that your friend is willing to forgive you. 2. Generosity - Even the most humble of friends will start to annoy you if they are super stingy with their time...

WoW cosplay girl in Taiwan. (By swanky) The ten million player m*ssive multiplayer online roleplaying (RPG) game World of Warcraft has long dominated the MMORPG charts. But what is so enthralling about a game that has, effectively, brought the end to ten doc*mented lives? Well, let me explain. I started playing WoW several years ago, one year before the first expansion. World of Warcraft has been an interesting experience over the years; meeting new people from all over Europe has caused my “WoW” group on MSN to be just as great as my “Real life” group. So one could say I’m a seasoned player! You enter the game as a character in one... 

1. Tattoos – No, there are no exceptions. Tattoos are one of those things that look hot on a small minority of drop-dead gorgeous movie stars like Angelina Jolie, but in real life, less than 1% of women can actually pull it off in any form. (Variations include girls that have watched way too many Evanescence music videos, girls that had an ex-boyfriend die in a surfing accident and have branded his name onto their wrist, hipster b*tches, white trash skanks, wannabe p*rn stars, etc.) 2. Daddy Issues - This rears its head in all sorts of ways, so proceed with caution. Unfortunately, this is often a sad result of modern-day divorce statistics.... 

So, I was thinking today… Why do people even bother with one word Txts. They are a waste of time for both parties…. Why would anyone send a one word txt and not bother carrying on the conversation? Is the beginning of a new type of communication? One where everyone can answer with telecommunication. No, I think the true answer lies with the people sending those horrible txts. I believe they want the responding party to ask a more provocative question/statement to catch them off guard and spice up there typical day, or they want you to leave them alone. But, ff they take the time to send that one word they definitively don’t... 

The sound of excitement filled the crowded bar as Baby Baby made their entrance through the front door of The Alley Cat. They filed onto the stage one after the other like heroes returning from war with their heads held high and instruments in hand. They knew what they had to do; they knew the crowd would soon get restless; they knew that together they could turn Carrollton into once big dance party. The clock was slowly approaching midnight of January 30 and the Alley Cat was packed to the brim. Fans, friends, and family were standing shoulder to shoulder all with the same goal in mind: to dance and have a great time. Baby Baby was playing the...

The Kindle, from Amazon, ended up being surprisingly successful. Indeed, the Kindle might have even begun a publishing revolution. The ability to access millions of books from a single device that can be held in your hands is, indeed, amazing. And it can be a very helpful thing for college students to have. If you are a college student, you can get easy access to a number of books, from cl*ssic literature to the latest treatise on quantum physics. Being able to have so much knowledge at your fingertips really is a huge advantage.

Most people go to college so that they can earn a degree, but there are always a few of those rogue students who think they can skate through a little easier without having to do all the work. The following list details some of those instances where students get carried away in an effort to do well without trying. From getting a degree they didn’t actually earn to changing grades to faking transcripts to cheating on exams, these cheating scandals caught plenty of attention. Southern University. This university in Louisiana was rocked by scandal in March of 2003 when it was discovered that an *ssistant registrar had changed grades for 541 students... 

I realize I’m probably about the millionth person to write some sort of tribute to J.D. Salinger since his p*ssing a few days ago and while there’s most likely little I can add regarding his brilliant work or reclusive lifestyle, I’d like to throw out the following however inconsequential it might seem. As a high school sophomore I was *ssigned The Catcher in the Rye in English cl*ss and for the first time ever I felt as though school work had actually crossed over into my real life.  I mean this wasn’t Homer’s Odyssey or Julius Caesar in ancient times, this guy Holden Caulfield was a lot like me.  Sure he went to different types... 

A number of the President’s critics have opined that he didn’t say anything new in the State of the Union Address and mainly tried to rally Democrats to support him. To the contrary, I think three important aspects of the address are pretty clear. The first is what he actually proposed. Politico has an excellent article discussing the President’s proposals from the SOTU and the possibilities that they might happen. Two examples: Despite the fact that health care reform was the centerpiece of his first-year agenda, it’s on life support at best. He didn’t talk much about it, but he did urge the majority to continue... 

1. Natural Ice – A.K.A. “Natty Ice” or simply “Natty”, this piss also comes as Natural Light. This beer is the closest you can get to tasting like sour water that’s been sitting in the pipes of an abandoned house for 5 years without actually giving yourself stomach ulcers. Although it might actually be too soon to declare that second part. If you want to be known as the trashy southern kid with an alcoholic father and an all-around girl-repellent, go for this one. (Coor’s version would be KeyStone Light.) 2. Olde English 800 – Okay, let’s go ahead and include ALL other so-called “malt...
