What’s with the 27 new monitors in Park?

Posted on April 5th, 2010 by buzzsawmag-import

If you have anything to do with the Park School, you’ve noticed the slew of new flat screen TVs that showed up in the hallway over spring break. You can’t move five steps inside the building without running into a different, yet identical, expensive-looking TV hung overhead.
Frankly, we wonder what was wrong with the two [...]

By S.M.K.
You’re driving slowly through your residential neighborhood listening to “TiK ToK” by Ke$ha. The windows are down, and you have decided this is the best car ride ever. No, it isn’t Ke$ha or the good weather—it’s the fact that you’re getting road head.  Yes, road head. 
It was a Tuesday afternoon, and my then-boyfriend picked [...]

By Des Parrote
Mxxy name is Desiree Louise Parrote and I’m a highly attractive 21-year-old college student. I’m always busy running around to numerous activities, and I enjoy lonely nighttime walks along poorly lit paths.

The Obsession Issue

Posted on November 15th, 2009 by buzzsawmag-import

“Boy, why you so obsessed with me?” sings Mariah Carey in her most recent single, echoing many previous songwriters’ thematic preoccupations with obsession.

With the advent of the Internet, people are given new forums for indulging in their obsessions. Some [...]

The Family Issue
Family is a word that is often said but not often considered.

There are no real halcyon days of college to look back on for me. I was mostly pickled in beer and liquor. I wrote drunk, which is idiotic, and I went through four-day weekends drunk and skipped so many classes I didn’t graduate. There was plenty of fun, but I look back with embarrassment [...]
