It's easy to log into Twitter or read the news and think we are absolutely f*cked beyond belief. And you know what, you might not be completely wrong. The world really does seem as though it is going to hell, and it often seems like there is nothing we can do about it. But one of the most clutch things about being a human is our resilience, and our ability to try to make the best of situations. Sometimes, instead of trying to tackle the big things like world peace or climate change, you need to…

This is just reality TV gold

With ‘Blue’s Clues' first ever big time movie ‘Blue’s Big City Adventure' coming out next month, they just can't afford this kind of scandal.

Love never dies

With all the incels and men's rights activists out there, it's pretty damn easy to worry about toxic masculinity and future generations. Many of my friends who are parents worry about bullying, bigotry, addiction, school shootings, and dangerous internet challenges. The world wide web has made many of these problems more prevalent. Being a parent is scary. Beyond those celebrities doing charity and making Instagram or Twitter posts about the latest hot-button social issue, it doesn't feel like…

Love means nothing in tennis.

A wise man once said "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today." And while he's not completely wrong, the merging of two souls in holy matrimony - or the celebration that follows - is also very capable of tearing people apart. The r/WeddingShaming subreddit is absolutely filled with tacky , petty, and altogether shameful moments that have either ruined or tainted the sanctity of romantic unions. There are Mother-in-laws who insist on wearing a white dress to their son's wedding. Ther…

Sometimes parents can't even try to be subtle

It's pretty easy to feel discouraged when things get tough. Over the past couple years it feels like we've been looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Every time we start to glimpse something optimistic in the distance, it's quickly snuffed out by yet another terrible world event. At a certain point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a little self ca…

Faith in humanity: restored

In the words of Limp Bizkt's Fred Durst, “It's just one of those days.” It's one of those days where you don't want to wake up, everything is f*****, and really, everybody sucks. It's simply one of those days, when (despite not really knowing why) you want to justify ripping someone's head off. Okay, okay. Maybe we've been listening to too much nu-metal while operating within a thick and ugly funk. But seriously. We're not sure why, but everything simply feels… bad. Maybe it's because winter ha…

As a kid I'd often visit the beach with my grandparents, just to peacefully watch the waves crash for an hour or so, and maybe look for sea glass or rocks that I'd later find were only pretty when wet from the sea water. On these trips we'd often see a man or woman slowly walking down the beach with a metal detector, smoothly hovering the thing over the sand. It was fascinating. I'd imagine what they would find - old coins, perhaps - maybe in a treasure chest, abandoned by the nonexistent pirat…
