Missing our Men
By: Raegen Kellis (Scroll Down for Video)
Once upon a time, way, way before iPhones, the internet, and the feminist movement, there used to be this little thing called chivalry. However, the American culture has brought about, with its attempts at equality, what seems to be confusion in the gender roles. Now, let me preface before I begin my rant. I have no “ax to grind” with men. In fact, I am the president of their fan club. I have not been wronged or mistreated by the men in my life nor had a boyfriend to have a brutal break-up with. And, of course, I do not believe every testosterone-filled individual embodies the following characteristics; I am simply recounting an unfortunate pattern I have had to witness.

Feeling Dangerous.... Go Shopping!
Hey everyone I ran across another article that caught my attention. I'm not usually into fashion and being a man I don't like shopping or trying on clothes. However there is a line of clothing that lets me keep my masculinity and feel like James Bond all at the same time. Two words... Bullet Proof! We know about bullet proof vests police and other important people wear to stay alive. Well the next evolution in bullet proof clothing is being made. Here is the link to the article:

More reasons not to get drunk... and fight!
Often men dressed as women fool no one, except drunk guys. A couple of days ago, BBC and CCTV got footage of two men dressed as women getting harassed by two drunk men. The incident ended with the two drunk men getting pummeled by the cross dressed men, who happened to be professional cage fighters. The cage fighters were celebrating a stag night and on their way to a nightclub.I ran across an article explaining the situation and watched the video of the infamous incident. You can read the article and watch the video at:

Of course they blame George W. Bush... Who doesn't!
Friday October 2nd, four possible cities were voted to see who would host the 2016 Olympics. Before that day, you probably heard all the news of different celebrities and of course the President traveling and promoting Chicago to host those Olympics. I personally think if Chicago hosted the Olympics it would be bad news for the rest of the country. It would take billions of dollars to host the Olympics and if you haven't heard we are in a recession. I don't think it would be a wise move to house something so massive while the economy is still healing. But that is besides the point, if you watched the voting then you saw Chicago got the least amount of votes and was eliminated first. People in Chicago took the news badly to say the least. Well I found an article in the Chicago Sun-Times:
Divers Make a Splash at Auburn
Auburn divers have a fierce devotion to a sport that not many people have the talent for. Diving requires a large amount of effort, time, and especially talent- just ask Kelly Marx or Thad Ellis, two students at Auburn University.
These two young men spend their college lives being attentive to their goals. Long days and early practices are all devoted to the desire for championships and titles. Moreover, the hard work shows, especially with the numerous titles and honors they have received as a result of their diving career.
AU Rhythm
As of about a month ago, I am now a member of AU Rhythm, Auburn's competitive/performance hip hop dance team. We perform at various events throughout the community and on campus, as well as basketball games, volleyball games, gymnastics meets, etc., and hopefully this spring we will be going to 106 Park on BET in New York City. Though the team was not founded until 2004, the program has made tremendous amounts of progress since it began in 2004. This month alone, we are competing in 2 dance competitions, one in Tuskegee and one in Huntsville. We also have 4 different dance performances scheduled this month as well. Normally, we have practice on Sunday and Thursday nights from 7-9pm, but starting October 4th we begin practice everyday in order to be ready for the busy month(s) ahead.
