The Rise and Fall and Rise of Kanye West

Posted on 20. May, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Lifestyle, music, Remy Carreiro

If you had asked me what was up with Kanye West before this week's SNL performance, I would have told you he was dropping off. I would have told you that being with a Kardashian was ruining his artistic soul. I would have told you that the twisted genius who recorded My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy had been replaced by a boring, uninspired clone who lacked the original’s coolness.

But then SNL happened, and in one second, Kanye reminded us why we love him and why we put up with him. Because musically speaking, the man is in a league of his own.Read More »

Five Celebrity Twitter Accounts You Need To Follow

Posted on 26. Apr, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Technology, Lifestyle, Remy Carreiro

How much you enjoy Twitter is directly proportional to whom you follow, and how good of a tweeter they are. If you follow boring individuals, you get a boring feed, full of people talking passively about things they hate. But if you follow interesting and insane stars, you get to read about their interesting and insane lives. Is there anything better than those two things? I think not.

Here, for your consideration next time you are browsing online, are five celebrity Twitters you need to follow.Read More »

Here’s Your Horoscope!

The stars may not be on your side, but we are.
The stars may not be on your side, but we are.

Aries

Nothing is as it seems. Trust no one around you. They all have evil intentions. Well, not all of them. Larry in the mailroom's a sweet guy, actually.

Taurus

You need to fight the urge to invest in an exotic animal this week. You will see one (a rare type of monkey) and you will think you want it, but that monkey is carrying a disease that will end all of mankind, so whatever you do, don’t release it from that cage.

Aries

Your penchant for partying could get you into some trouble this week, so slow it down come Saint Patty's day, lest you want to wake up married.

Taurus

You will be forced into a situation where you have to make a tough decision around Wednesday. Be strong and go with your heart. It will pay off, though maybe not right away.

I could technically just write the word “everything” and the piece would be complete, but that would be a cop-out on my part. Instead of going for the obvious, I decided to focus on some specific things guys do on the regular that puts a serious crimp in the longevity of their relationships.

Guys, this list could also be called “Stuff You Totally Need to Work On.” I know, because I’m writing this piece in front of a mirror, weeping.

Yahoo’s redesign is disgusting.

So all you really hear about lately when it comes to search engines is Bing and Google. Outside of that, very few other search engines thought of or even spoken about aloud Thing is, if you flash back ten years, it was all about the Yahoo!.

What is Vine, anyway? Remy explains it for us.
What is Vine, anyway? Remy explains it for us.

So today I woke up, and my family was in my living room, sitting around, waiting for me. As soon as I walked in, I could feel a strange energy. “Is this about my affair with that gorgeous actress,” I asked? To which they quickly reminded me there was no affair. Jerks.

“So what is this about?”Read More »

Eat Your Veggies

Posted on 22. Feb, 2013 by Dana Linn in category of Parenting, Lifestyle, Audra Rundle

It’s a smart idea to eat as many vegetables as you can each day. You don’t really need me to tell you that, do you? You can explain the benefits of eating veggies to adults, and that alone should be enough to get people eating them more (although, sadly, if often doesn’t). Toddlers*, however, are a different story.Read More »

Audra realized she needed a grandparent in her life.

I lost all of my blood-related grandparents by the time I was five. I only really got to know one of them, and I remember feeling cheated throughout my youth and jealous of my friends who got to bake cookies and spend time with doting grandparents. The relationship with a grandparent is so unique – so fun! – and I wanted it.Read More »

Is Anyone on the New MySpace?

Posted on 20. Feb, 2013 by Remy Carreiro in category of Technology, Lifestyle, meanwhile on the internet, Remy Carreiro

So—is anyone on the new MySpace?

I suppose this could be the first one-word article in history: No.

As of right now I know, literally, not a single person that has been on MySpace since it relaunched.

The first mistake they made with their relaunch was keeping the name MySpace. It reminds a great deal of people of a more juvenile time in social networking, and that does not bode well for the community—not when most social media lovers are now immersed so deeply in Instagram, Facebook, and now Vine.Read More »
