Zyns Of Our Fathers

Nicotine? The government wants to keep the youth safe amidst a subculture perpetuated by social media influence. This is another step in a long lineage of nicotine use, where the line between fear and knowledge seems to blur.

The Missed Connections of Craigslist

January 4, 2024 No Comments

Craigslist is not a desired destination for many. Of course, I’m all but certain the majority of people have heard of the original online marketplace, or at the very least have traversed the massive, nearly endless, online catalog of personal listings that range from cars or couches to jobs or those seeking roommates. With the rise of Facebook Marketplace and other online marketplace applications in recent years, Craigslist seems to have a dwindling use amongst younger generations, or at the very minimum, no longer wields the reputation it once had.

The Anatomy Of Today's Documentaries

24 August, 2023

We seem to be in the age of documenting every single event we possibly can, producing some random spree of murders or criminal endeavors into an introspective, limited series that peels back the layers of all-but-historical events. Insignificant moments in the totality of human history.

Gambling On Polish Table Tennis

15 August, 2023

I am not a good gambler and I am the opposite of a high-roller. In fact, I am as low of a roller as they come. I’m betting dollars at a time. Single dollars. If I’m feeling dangerous, or really believe in whatever bet I’ve constructed while researching enough statistics to thoroughly convince myself...

The Race To 100 Losses

28 July, 2023

As the MLB Trade Deadline inches closer, another inevitable deadline awaits the Rockies, one farther down this season’s road, something no Rockies fan wants to see but has been threatened by throughout our entire existence.

The Barbenheimer Experience

23 July, 2023

For many the concept of witnessing both Barbie and Oppenheimer in the same day has undertaken a phenomenon akin to witnessing a solar eclipse, a sensational event that has people willing to dedicate the majority of their day to watching the two films in whichever order they choose.

A Rockie Wins The All-Star Game

12 July, 2023

In Seattle, the stars of the MLB came together to play in the annual All-Star game, a halfway marker for the season being over, and a halfway marker for all Rockies fans that the suffering has just two and a half more months to go. The All-Star game has been criticized in the past, from being boring,...

Hitler Might've Worn Birkenstocks

11 July, 2023

It’s a sandal made out of cork and latex, strapped together with leather bindings and sold for upwards of $100. The most popular piece of footwear in America and perhaps the world is intended to aid those suffering from plantar fasciitis, for those with high-arches or chronic foot pain. They’re the product...

In Celebration Of The Greatest Breakup Ever

04 July, 2023

It’s arguably the most famous breakup ever. Two countries with so much history. A love story destined for disaster. Maybe it was never meant to be. Maybe America just wanted to explore and see what the untamed land in the West held. It’s true, some relationships never last.

How To Be A Loser

This could be as simple as we want it to be.

I Accidentally Committed Piracy

19 June, 2023

I’m sure this comes as no surprise but I am not a technologically-savvy person. Setting up my own internet and remembering the multiple variations of the same password often proves difficult for me. If I had the choice, I would use a flip phone. I’d receive everything through the mail and pay my bills...

Rockies And Tacos: A History

16 June, 2023

It’s time we talk about tacos. I’ve wanted to dive into this subject matter for some time now, but seeing as Denver sports are finding success and championships often in the recent decade, it feels out of place to discuss anything in relation to the Rockies.
