'Twilight' Sucks. . . And Not In A Good Way
By Kellen Rice
Written by Phoenix native Stephenie Meyer, the popularity of the young-adult series comprised of Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the newly-released Breaking Dawn has reached critical mass. With a Twilight film adaptation coming to theaters this winter and an opening day’s sales of 1.3 million books for her latest installment, Meyer can be left with no doubt of her success. From a...

The Harmony-seeking Idealist in love
Even if you can fall head over heels in love - like all Idealists - all in all you are still the reserved personality type. With you it takes a relatively long time until your counterpart has figured out that you have developed a romantic interest in him/her. You only show your feelings when you are very sure of yourself and the prospects for the relationship. In matters of love the word “flighty”...

You appear to others around you as a person who is simply ‘laid back’. From time to time you shelve your ambitions and forgo the desire for prestige and recognition and you are often considered as mentally lazy. You have the ability and you are the first to know this, but you prefer to take things easy and indulge your longing...
“One good thing about music; when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
– Bob Marley (via littlemiss)
I really disagree with this. Music is all of it. It can help heal you from pain, or it can bring you right into the face of it, forcing you to deal. It puts you in other people’s skin, and it reaffirms how you feel. Music certainly can hurt when it hits you. I...

Human Family
I note the obvious differences in the human family. Some of us are serious, some thrive on comedy. Some declare their lives are lived as true profundity, and others claim they really live the real reality. The Variety of our skin tones can confuse, bemuse, delight, brown and pink and beige and purple, tan and blue and white. I’ve sailed upon the seven seas and stopped in every land,...

OK Magazine: Have you ever experienced an intense relationship like that?
Robert Pattinson: I've never experienced that but it must be an amazing feeling to say: "I absolutely need you." Sometimes I feel like that about a cheeseburger.

The fourty-fourth president of the United States was inaugurated today. It’s an exciting day. It’s a big deal. Personally, I probably wouldn’t have voted for him. It wasn’t up to me. But watching the news today, I see why so many people did.
He’s a charismatic man. He’s confident. He’s new. He’s offered hope to millions (though maybe not you) in difficult times. Can we at least respect...
