"Made"—Your Future

We are a generation surrounded by messages and one of those messages is, “WHAT you become is more important than WHO you become.” Your job is more important than your character. For an example check out the following video on YouTube.

Everything about chicks

Monday night we were enlightened by the ladies as they clued all of us guys in on what happens inside of their heads. We found the answers to such questions as, "Why do girls go to the bathroom in groups?", "Why do you say you're alright when I know you're not?", and more.

Parent's Don't Understand

All of us have parents...at least those of us with a belly button! So, like it or not, you have to deal with it. Sometimes it feels like they totally don't understand where we're coming from, but the fact is, they were once kids too. Granted, they didn't grow up in this generation, but they might actually have some good stuff to say if we actually listened.

Emo 2.0 Fear

As I thought about fear this week, I came to one conclusion. Fear arises from that which is unknown. Think about it. When you were afraid of the dark…what were you really afraid of?
You were afraid of what you didn’t know to be in the dark. How about now?
Do some of you fear death?
Why, because you are unsure about what happens after you die?
Do you fear rejection?

I hate the Paparazzi

Monday night we talked about the Media and its influence in all areas of our lives. More important to consider are the forces that shape our view of ourselves, our friends, and our society as a whole. I was asked Monday night for the executive from MTV who issued the quote I used and I found it in a great article.
