How Christian Grey is Edward Cullen in Disguise
The Twilight Saga Books were a HUGE part of my early 20’s. I recall discovering Twilight and practically speed reading it in almost one sitting. Stephenie Meyer, the genius author of this series managed to create the plot line from a dream she’d had. It’s every young writer’s fairytale come true. The perfect book idea just gift wrapped to you while you’re sleeping! Sadly, we do not all have that kind of luck, but fortunately Stephenie did and through that dream she managed to create the captivating romantic tale of Bella Swan, a girl from Arizona who moves to Washington state, meets, and falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.

Blame Canada For Ruining Pizza
There are two types of people: those who love pineapples on pizza and those who believe it’s an abomination and representation of all things dark in this world. It‘s an age-old question that has divided the internet and turned friends into enemies, brothers against sisters and has been the subject of numerous virtual battles: does pineapple belong on pizza? On one side, there’s the argument that the sweet, tangy taste of the juicy pineapple balances out the savoury, punchy flavour of the cheese and ham. On the other end, many hold that the addition of the tropical fruit makes a mockery of an already-perfect Italian masterpiece. It's pizza, not a fruit salad!

"Let Me Apologize In Advance"
We’ve been telling stories for millennia. The first stories were told 40,000 years ago via primitive art--cave paintings akin to murals, which depicted short, ritualistic events, usually the hunt. Exciting stuff, no doubt, but what was its purpose? Was it meant solely to increase the heart rate of the intended viewing audience? Was it to bookmark our ancestors’ existence in a specific moment in time? Or was it to woo that cute Neanderthal girl you’ve had your one good eye on? At its core, storytelling is meant to entertain and educate, preserve tradition, history, and culture, all while instilling moral values and a sense of community.
