Life: One Year Ago

by Geoffrey Nixon on March 11, 2010 · 1 comment

A couple of weeks ago I took a trip to the Bronx to hang out with some friends at the end of a busy workweek. After a few drinks, a tasty burrito and an hour of figure skate dancing, I began the pleasant journey home. Following a quick train ride to 125th and Lex, I emerged to the street and headed for the bus stop. Through my journey down the icy sidewalks, my eyes continually surveyed the surroundings. Often times I find myself easily distracted by the skylines and sights of the part of town I’m in.

While I stood patiently waiting the 25 minutes for the M60 to arrive, I couldn’t help but have this overwhelming feeling that made my head start to spin.

“Holy shit. I live here.” [click to continue…]

The judge

by Joe OSullivan March 8, 2010 Faces

He keeps silent as he lopes to the end of the cattle ring and pulls down a wired mic from the green announcer’s stand. A Toby McGuire doppelganger in denim, he smiles and nods appreciatively at the massive bulls. They had entered through a green gate, circled the sawdust ring and are now lined up in the center. Then, a Zen master pouring steady rhythm, he sizes up the first animal.

Enjoying life one stupid joke at a time

by Eric Meyer March 4, 2010 Casually Unmethodical

Poop. Yes, I just laughed at that. There doesn’t seem to be a time when that wasn’t funny. Come on, it has to be one of the greatest words in the English language, maybe besides fartknocker or dweeb. What does this all suggest? Well, I’m no math major, but I think it indicates that I am very immature. When I say immature, I mean I will laugh at just about anything that is physical or involves bodily fluids.

Review: Soulcrate Music – “The Heartland Panic”

by Lucinda Albers March 3, 2010 Music

I’ll admit it – when it comes to music, I’m a lyrics person.

That’s what always drew me to Soulcrate’s music. If they don’t give you Midwest-based narratives to relate to, they give you a story to immerse yourself in. With their latest album, they didn’t disappoint to present listeners with even more of this characteristic trait.

Denying the lie

by Heather Mangan March 2, 2010 Faces

Hugh Weber believed the lie. The one that so many young South Dakotans accept as true — you have to leave the state to be successful, especially in a creative or technology field. Now, he’s putting a good chuck of his money and effort into a March conference with the mission to, as he puts it, “deny the lie.”

Giving Lexi a home

by Jamie Gibson March 1, 2010 Faces

Five pounds is a lot for a dog to put on in just a week – the kind of gain that would send out an alert to put a lid on the puppy chow in most homes. But for Stacy and Joey Sanders, learning that Lexi was up to 43 pounds was the best news they’d had all week. Days before the young couple agreed to take in Lexi, the 7-year-old boxer had been eating rocks and gravel to stay alive.

Prepare for the biggest beer holiday

by Ty Omoth February 25, 2010 Columns

St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner and there is probably no other holiday on the calendar that is more closely associated with beer. I found a short Irish poem (courtesy of Kashmira Lad) that sums up this country’s attitude nicely.
