A Love Knocked Down

These days modern day music is far from anything original sad to say. I hardly pay attention to mainstream musicians or bands. If I do they definitely need to have something unique about them. Specifically, I usually target a musician’s sound such as the compilation of instrumentals, vocals, etc.

If I am really interested I’ll look into their personality, history and how they came into profession of working in the music industry. That’s exactly what I did with Kanye West.

Get Ready To Make Googly Eyes

There used to be a time when vampires were cool. This oft-romanticized era, a time where vampires were ghouls and things that went bump in the night, isn’t too far removed from the present either.

Vampires dressed like that Goth kid no one wanted to talk to in class. They wore black, they were sort of creepy/sort of tragic, and there was always a way to kill them dead with some handy UV rays. Now they are all good looking and always striking a pose as if they’re about to be photographed for a GAP ad. That’s right folks, no more burning to a smoldering pile of ash anymore.

We Need A Public Option

Healthcare reform in America has become the number one issue in American politics today. Reminiscent of 1993, advocates of both sides of the issue are out in full swing making their pitch to America about why their particular position on the issue is the right one.

Watching cable news, reading newspapers and listening to people on both sides of the issue, one can’t help but fall on one side of the issue. I believe that I am on the right side of the issue, that we need comprehensive healthcare reform in America that allows for a public healthcare option that will give coverage to all Americans who want it.

A Presidency dilemma: it’s definitely about race

There’s no doubt that the election of Barack Obama last year led to a groundswell of enthusiasm and hope throughout America and the rest of the world. In some corners of our country, however, the election of the first African American and non-white President stirred up a lot of old sentiment about the role of race and power in American politics.

President’s advice: apply yourself and enjoy college life

I would like to start the year by talking directly to each Pace student. This semester begins or continues what should be one of the most meaningful periods in your life. Studying at a great university is a learning experience in the broadest sense of that word, involving not just the classroom but your journey to becoming a responsible adult.

In’s and Out’s of the University

Hand sanitizer junkies: Get ready for Heaven on Earth

Have you seen those hand sanitizers around? Along with the signs accompanying all of them explaining with cutesy little characters that show us how to “cover the cough”?

They are the new eye candy near the elevators, in the sky lobby of Maria’s Tower and near the Café 101 entrance. No longer will we be reading about upcoming clubs meetings or spotlighted speaker series around the University, but now we will be constantly reading about how to prevent H1N1 Flu or “swine flu.” And for good reason.

New school year brings paparazzi to Brown University

I love school supplies. Autumn has always been my favorite time of year because it means peruse the aisles of Staples or Office Max, picking out new notebooks and fountain pens. One thing that heading back to school should not involve, however, is paparazzi.
