Interview with an English Teacher
by: Joel Chaffee

Three Days of Rain
by: Kendra Celeste Hughes
... Yet, he's depressed. He continues to spiral over to the dark side. I think he likes it there. He tells me that if it would only stop raining and he could just see the sun, he'd be capable of getting back on the horse at the first hit of Vitamin D. I try to perk him up, but it's no use. He's got SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) apparently, and this is just the way it is.

by: Justin August
If the tax is meant to help out the budget issues of Ny schools, I would love it. If the tax was meant to help get NY out of debt, I would back it completely, but, alas, this is not the case.

Op Ed > The Country Perspective
by: Kendra Celeste Hughes
The country I dream of is slow, patient, warm, brisk, open, vast, kind, giving, loving, gentle, rough, lonely, dark, inspiring, and full of sky. When I go there I feel like a tight rope suddenly let go slack. All the tension melts away as soon as I see the prairie skyline. Ah, to be there now.

Food > Decaf- What's the Point?
by: Kendra Celeste Hughes
I'll tell you what the mother-loving point is! The point is, I WANT TO DRINK IT! For some, coffee simply exists to wake them up, to keep them up, to focus, etc� but for some of us, coffee also, if we�re in a decent joint, tastes good.

Arts > Finding Amazing Art in New York is...
by: Christian Hunter
Looking for Art in New York is not very hard. Finding good art isn't even that hard. There are so many awesome expressionists and painters and writers, it really blows my mind. I've been feeling a very Martha Stuart sort of "art" sweep over me lately, and after a huge slice of my homemade banana bread and a spread of some serrano pepper jam I made, I choked down a half a joint and went on an art exploration.

Op Ed > Thoughts from a grumpy old bartender
by: Justin August
Do you know what you're doing when you head to the clubs and bars at night? Are you aware of the fact that your head should be pulled out of your ass before heading into public? Your Gold Chains, Frosted hair and "Pi Kappa-I don't give a F#$%" T-shirt is NOT going to help you in your wanderings thru New York night life.
