The Red, White and Blue Reality
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
April 12, 2013
Back when I joined the Air Force in 1985 (which is amazing because I’m only 25…really!), the world was a much more stable place. By that I mean, the United States was not involved in all the police actions that have become an obligation forced upon us or taken on unsolicited. For me, the threat...
Sexuality Should Not Define Us
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
March 24, 2013
I never believed that your sexuality was something that needed to be worn as an identification badge. But on the other hand, humans are sexual beings inexplicably wired to little impulses and drives to connect with each other. How all of this manifests itself to our consciousness is way beyond my...
Kenny Says Know When to Hold, Know When to Fold

March 15, 2013
So your boyfriend, girlfriend, significant other or cousin (in certain “exclusive” circles) is acting a bit emotionally distant. They seem to not be there mentally when the two or three of you (see previous sentence) are hanging out doing the things that lovers do. That sparkle that was in their...
Creatures
Larry Curtis Jr, Managing Editor
February 12, 2013
Creeping through the woods of our lives is a despicable and crafty creature. We unwittingly feed it the nourishment of our trusting bosom with the belief that it will defend our honor, have our back, and be a pillar of support through the darkest and most challenging times of our lives. We trust...
Sex, Love and 2013

January 18, 2013
I stopped making New Year’s resolutions for a number of years now. I guess the point of making them was to be able to wash away the sins of the year that just passed. To make right on some things in your life that you have come to the conclusion are detrimental to your existence. You make new goals...
Yes Virginia, It’s called Perception
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
December 13, 2012
I would not consider myself a conservative man. Not with my tattoos, piercings, pro-choice opinion, support of any human having the right to marry, and unwavering stance that everyone has the right to freedom of speech. You would think that I have the makings of being a super liberal. You would be...
Controversial Flyer Makes Me Realize I See Colors
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
December 4, 2012
There is a controversy brewing at Mercy College regarding KKK recruitment posters found at one of the contracted hotels that students reside in. Whether or not this proves to be a hoax and to what degree is yet to be determined. I wait with great interest regarding how this will play out and like a lot...
A Turkey Day To Remember
Larry J. Curtis Jr, Managing Editor
November 23, 2012
11:45 a.m. Thanksgiving 2012. I already had eaten a caramel bar, a pumpkin spice doughnut, a glazed doughnut, a piece of left over turkey from a holiday feast my right hand man Pauly went to last night, and a bowl of cereal. And no bran crap either, this was the good stuff. Sugar filled, tooth rotting...
Seeding The Vote
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
November 15, 2012
It is now coming up on two weeks since the big election of 2012. I don’t consider myself anything even close to being a political activist, but I do stay politically aware and usually have an opinion. However, we all know the saying regarding opinions and rectums. But this is not about the gluteus...
Hurricane Sandy, Hybrid Storm…Whatever…
Larry Curtis Jr., Managing Editor
October 30, 2012
Hurricane Sandy and her child, hybrid storm, have now passed through my suburban New York area. As I write this, local bridges and the bulk of the NYC metropolitan public transportation systems are still shut down. I fared pretty well because I still have power in my apartment and it remained that way...
