While being born on U.S soil, passing a Citizenship test or apparently being the President are the requirements to being a real American, I feel another step should be required. Yes, it’s good to know the Bill of Rights, each of the U.S states, and who wrote the Constitution but what determines a true red [...]
My life is filled with unanswered questions, such as; will I ever, find a full time job? Move out of Dayton? Get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? However, one thing I have always been certain about is my sexuality, in that I’m attracted to women, but even that has recently been riddled [...]
Without having to travel hundreds of miles, suffer from sand being trapped in hard to reach places, or be gawked at while wearing my Speedo; I was still able to enjoy a touch of the beach by visiting Paradise Key Café. I only had to go a few short miles to 3243 Needmore Road for [...]
While for most the summer season brings excitement of vacations, time at the pool, and grilled hot dogs; for me it’s all about Big Brother. The CBS reality show is my summer addiction as three nights a week I’m glued to the television to watch the happenings of the sequestered houseguests. In it’s 12th season, [...]

Our personality, education, economic status and standard of morals can all be determined by how we physically present ourselves. Perhaps, no trait is any more defining than whether or not we have a tattoo. [...]
Whenever my grandmother would take me out for dinner she would say, “If you don’t get full here it’s your own fault.” She has since departed this earth, but her words could never be more true than in reference to the Asian Buffet & Grill, located at 6999 Miller Lane. Whether you like Asian food [...]
If only I had my ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ lunchbox and Trapper Keeper it would have been just like grade school. Not a whole lot has changed since then; I still can’t do long division, girls still run from me, and still I prefer chocolate over white milk. And, my athletic prowess is still far below [...]
One of my favorite things about being a journalist is the variety of experiences I am able to partake in which I never would otherwise; such as playing basketball against the Bengals, interviewing celebrities, like Craig Ferguson, and most recently, being part of a ghost investigation. On Saturday night I tagged along with the Midnight [...]
