Jan. 17, 2012Disclaimer: This is not a personal account, I assure you, I just have this friend, see, who recently moved to Columbus.

Kill 'Em With Kindness: The presence of others brings personal strength
Jan. 11, 2012Recently, a friend of mine and I had a falling-out. We had been friends for around 13 years and had never enjoyed anyone’s presence as much as each other. I guess the saying, “Distance will make or break your friendship” is true. I also believe in the saying, “Time heals everything.”
Let's Be Unreasonable Here: Nature cures urge with gender-neutral animals
Jan. 11, 2012It’s blue for boys. It’s pink for girls. It’s green for gender-neutral environments. And now, it’s orange for choose-the-gender-that-you-need-for-dominance.
