Holding Hands

Nov 7, 2014Kayla KrassaContributorsAbstract, Poetry

She held his hand quietly Her mind a still pond Minnows swimming quickly beneath the surface Mouth stayed closed Breath shallow and slow She listened while she held his hand Absorbing word after word He spoke quickly She slowed the minnows Concentrate. Listen. She welcomed his words while holding his hand They observe…

You Always Make the Right Choice

Oct 23, 2014Mason Waaler6 CommentsContributorsLogic

Choices in life are an interesting phenomenon. We imagine that we are at a cross roads, with multiple possibilities open to us in the future. But, in reality there is only one future, the one you choose. It doesn’t matter what choice you make, that choice is the only choice you would have made, the…

Gaming and the Future: A Sense of Agency

Oct 21, 2014Chad Palmer2 CommentsContributorsReflection

First of all, I’m an aspiring game designer, so my opinions are going to be shaped by that. Along that vein, most of the thoughts that I’m going to discuss here were inspired by the following videos. I’ll do my best to make the ideas clear on their own, but they’re posted here just in…

An Almost-Haiku

Oct 20, 2014Brandon Marks2 CommentsContributorsPoetry

The desire for complete and utter control is futile Focusing on my own life and powers frees my anxious heart Controlling myself is the only way to make my own mark Sketching out contours through self-evidence invigorates me Influence may not exist, but truths are interesting things Carving out my world one piece at a…

Meticulous Me

Sep 29, 2014Anonymous2 CommentsContributorsReflection

I’ve been told many times throughout my 19 years of life that I am an incredibly meticulous person. On the outside, this seems to be a flattering compliment, but, I am the only one who knows the backstory; from my perspective, being meticulous is a curse. After I got out of depression, I felt like…

End of the World

Sep 29, 2014Benjamin BeechampContributors, VideosPoetry, Video

This poem speaks for itself. Prince Ea makes the listener aware of several pitfalls that we, as a people, have fallen victim to.

We have allowed discrimination based on race and religion to exist.…

Change Your Life

The martial arts have their fair share of wise sagacious masters imparting knowledge and experience into young pupil’s heads. And as a martial artist myself, I know it can get annoying. I want to learn how to kick and punch stuff, how to do flips and tricks, not hear a story about a man who lived thousands…

Finally Growing Up

Sep 15, 2014Anonymous3 CommentsContributorsReflection

When I was little, I would look up to the bigger girls who knew where they were going and what they were doing. They just looked like they had everything figured out. That was my idea of what it meant to be all grown up. It wasn’t until I started college that I began to…

“Blood Dust”

Aug 27, 2014Kyle Packer1 CommentContributorsAbstract, Poetry

The man collapsed to the desert floor, dreams and memories pouring between the sand. Temporal bonds formed in a place where time did not exist. The fine rock itself stood unaltered; it spoke of the highest powers, of the myriads of existence. The man held the maroon sand, a grim sense of beauty filling him.…
