The fanboy faithful have a lot to get excited about this year. Not only have we had some killer comic book cinema, but there is still half a year left with some fresh new films about lesser known graphic novels. The cherry on this comic book bonanza sundae is that the medium inspiring these films is bringing its A-game this year. Marvel, their Distinguished Competition, and numerous indie publishers have some powerhouse numbers rolling off the presses, and these red-hot rags are going to be…

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes, and parents being fucking exhausted. As soon as your offspring emerges from the womb your life as a parent becomes one of little to no sleep. I've been tired for three and a half years. Kids have all the energy in the world; sometimes it feels like their body just naturally produces crystal meth because they're all over the place and rarely stop. Between the long nights in the baby stage to the just continuous chasing that goes on…

Plaintiff Joanne Bolek had been admitted to Ahuja Medial Center in early November 2013, for complications from congestive heart failure and fluid buildup in her kidneys.

Admission to Menorah Park On November 22, 2013, Ms. Bolek was admitted to…

Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, professor of psychology and author, asked a simple question of “what is the self?” Csikszentmihaly breaks down what some would call “self” and in his writing he states, “The self is a reification….the self is more in the nature of a figment of the imagination, something we create to account for the multiplicity of impressions, emotions, thoughts, and feelings that the brain records in consciousness” (Csikszentmihaly.265). Reification means, “The process of regarding an…

My family always had numerous different occasions in which when we gathered together to share memories and enjoy each other’s company. A holiday without family is not nearly as special as a holiday with our families. In my opinion, spending time with the older generation is a crucial element for our generation, the lessons are endless and it gives us a chance to see life in a different perspective and respect the simple things in life. My family and I get together for any and all occasions, my…

into my brother who has the same destination as I. We both race through the living room, the dining room and past my mom in the kitchen then down the three, blue carpeted stairs to the large den. My dad is sitting on the edge of his leather, rocker recliner with his 1974 Fender base guitar playing along with the song, “Dixie Chicken” by Little Feat. The music was turned up so loud no one could talk or hardly think. My brother and I start to dance and sing at the top of our lungs, “If you’ll be…

After all of these tests and doctor visits, I was diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer. A granulosa cell tumor was found on my right ovary. It was pretty rare considering less than five out of one hundred ovarian cancer patients have a tumor like that. It was astonishing that a sixteen year old, with no previous ovarian cancer occurrences in her family, was diagnosed with the cancer. The average age for an ovarian cancer occurrence is sixty three years old. My doctors concluded that the best…

Companies spend millions sometimes billions of dollars on advertising in hopes of making a positive name for themselves. Sometimes the advertisement they create generates a negative or ineffective message. This happens when the ad reaches the wrong audience, when the ad is too cluttered, or when the ad is just not appealing to the eye. There are many different types of advertisements, some include, print, broadcast, and internet. I am going to focus on print advertisements in this essay,…

Levi, as he pulled me up off of the couch by my hand. As we walked down a short hallway, he opened a closed door at the end. “This is my old man’s room.” When I walked in, I saw an unmade bed, a nightstand littered with a variety of things, a black recliner, and a small television. The walls in the room were white and the carpet was beige. There wasn’t a smell in the room; it didn’t smell good or bad. I guess that you…

I will tell you that where our concerns are coming from is his continuous sexually acting out behaviors. I don’t know that this has been explained to you yet. However, Kevin disclosed to some friends at school that he has to perform oral sex on you. Tarin said “no, he has not ever.” I asked why he would tell them that. Tarin said one of those other little boys must have told him they did this to their parents. Tarin said, “I ain’t never done no shit like that to my child or he has not ever done…
