Is This Really The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave?

What little of America we have left.

Is This Really The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave?

Our country is a joke right now, better yet my country is a joke right now. What has this country came to? We are killing Christians, killing gays, killing blacks, and killing arabs, KILLING KILLING KILLING.... we are killing everyone. To make matters even worse we protest to have our voices be heard and we end up killing each other. I know America is filled with intelligent, kind, and loving people so why hasn't this clicked in their heads, killing is not the answer, rioting is NOT the answer, and racially profiling people are not the answer. We are a family, and "A house divided against itself cannot stand. We have other countries attacking us, and we are attacking each other. The two choices we have for president are the most ridiculous jokes I have ever seen in this country. Neither of them will be able to fix this house divided and when the election comes, there will only be more rioting, more killing, and our economy will fail. The end times are near. Regardless of the religion you believe in, the end times are near. It will be brother against brother, stealing, killing, and chaos. I encourage you all before you speak, and before you act, to think what would my God think of me. Because there is an up roaring about to occur and the people who we trust to protect us are now scared. Yes, these police who have been shooting to kill are sick, and our voices need to be heard, but from a police stand point they are scared of the people. The once brave soldiers we had are scared, and that's probably why they shot before he thought. This is not an excuse for what they have done. We don't know if it's the hatred that is within the police hearts that they have towards African Americans, or if they genuinely are scared. Regardless what they have done is not okay. But what we have done isn't either. Rioting in the streets is not the answer. What will that resolve? There has to be another way to end this war and risking your lives isn't the answer. I am a mixture of many different races including African American, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Arabic. I can tell you from my personal experience , this is no longer a race thing, this is a people hating other people thing. Put down your weapons you fight with! Instead of coming to the table with the problem come to the table with a solution! What can you do as an individual to stop this chaos. Don't be apart of the problem, be apart of the solution. This article is to warn you all that this is only going to get worse. It will no longer be your friends who riot beside you that will be affected, it will be your children and your family that will have to suffer in result of the rioting, the shooting people due to color, the racially profiling people, and the hatred the US has towards each other.

May God have mercy on our souls. I pray for all of you. And I only hope we can end this war once and for all.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
