"Evil" is just "live" backwards.

6 Villains Who Are Just Terribly Misunderstood

Everyone loves to hate the villain. But is this hate actually misplaced? There are so many villains that have gone through so much, the least we can do is try to understand their pain and why they're doing "evil."

1. Yzma, "The Emperor’s New Groove"

Kuzco is basically a man-child whose work was all done for him by Yzma, and when she tried to take some power for herself, was shunned.

2. Sharpay Evans, "High School Musical"

Her actions were pretty warranted given the situation: a basketball player and a new girl without a theatre background steal the role Sharpay and her brother have been preparing for their whole lives.

3. Hades, "Hercules"

He was stuck ruling the underworld for eternity, while everyone else gets to live the high life on Olympus. Everyone hates him without even getting to know him.

4. Maleficent, "The Sleeping Beauty"

I mean, she has horns, she's different. But that's not a reason for her to be exiled from society. If someone was nice to her, invited her to the party for Aurora, maybe she wouldn't have stolen her away.

5. Ursula, "The Little Mermaid"

Ursula gave Ariel a pretty nice contract: get her dream of walking on land. Not Ursula's fault that Ariel didn't read the fine print.

6. Loki, "Thor"

He's really just a little brother begging for attention. Obviously, he did not go about this the right way but why won't anyone in his family take him seriously?

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.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

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.
