The Digital Revolution is upon us. People, as a whole, have become so dependent on digital technology that they would not know how to survive without it. I went without a cell phone up until about two to three years ago. I thought that I didn't need a portable telephone. My thought process ...

As the motors screamed down the road, I couldn't keep focused. My eyes started to quiver and my head started to spin but I had victory in my mind and that is what kept me going. I tried to breath but pressure had its grip on me, my heart ached as if something was going to hit me straight on. ...

During these past few weeks as an RM there hasn't been that many issues that I have dealt with myself in the hall or even on my floor. Two "issues" that's did come up were the propping of the door and beer cans that were left outside the recycling room. I dealt with both situat...

As I sit here and finish off is case of Old Style (a classic beer), I think about the first beer I ever had. Can you remember the first beer you ever had? I can, back in 4rth grade summer splitting a 6 pack with me and my homies, keeping it real of coarse. Nothing could beat those good old days...

I hop into the passenger's side of my best friend's car and simultaneously buckle my seatbelt and crank up the A.C. Matt and I begin to laugh about how we're never going to find a summer job that pays more than seven dollars an hour. I can hardly even see him through my squinted eye...
