wet?
March 2006
Retiring | 3-16-06
The Hard Way goes out in a blaze of glory, not unlike a rambling
old man telling his final tale. Humor him as he has humored you.
February 2006
Girlfriending | 2-5-06
If you've ever had a girlfriend, you know how quickly things can
sink low and then bounce right back. Make-up sex also powers
trampolines.
January 2006
Snow | 1-18-06
Such a gentle type of weather for such a dangerous sport like
skiing. You may be cold and alone, but at least in the lodge you're
ALIVE.
Sizing Up | 1-8-06
You're past puberty and things still aren't looking up? Time to
accept the fact that you're short. (No, sorry, puberty only happens
once.)
Being Female |

Take it from Mikey's friend Michelle: after all the sensual
beauty and two-faced female friendship stuff, being a woman is hard
work.

Being Male |
12-21-05
As a man, you have it made: life is simpler,
logical, and you don't have to fight for your rights. Then along
comes love, dating, and a 9-5.

Dreaming | 11-13-05
From the unfulfilling sex dream, to the
unforgivable mid-dream interruptions, dreams are at least
predictably unpredictable.
October 2005
Halloween
| 10-30-05
No one wants to be the apathetic costumeless loser, but outdoing
the barely-clothed jock with your costume creativity isn't always
easy.
Virginity
| 10-16-05
You've waited and waited, but finally the anticipation and
"friendly encouragement" from your friends leaves you in the midst
of indecision.
Being Libra
| 10-2-05

zodiac signs? Frustrating, tragic, and ultimately hopeless. No need
for a horoscope.

The Hard On

next minute you're going soft over mounting insecurities. Payback's
a bitch.
Sex Last Night

Oops, you blew it. Another round of sloppy, hazy, drunken, but
ultimately forgive-and-forgettable sex. And it won't be the last
time.
August 2005
Verbal Purges
| 8-21-05
Sexual conquests, bar night mishaps, run-ins with the law, and
various misadventures. Way too many alcohol-induced stories to
bottle up.

So much purpose, so much humor, so much confidence...lost to the
rambling, ADD tune of self-deprecation, politics, and waffling.
Drama'Coaster of Drama

man Mikey. Seriously, someone call Jerry Springer, it's about to get
ugly.
Conceited Monotony

The Hard Way morphs into some sort of angry, familiar PIC tone,
accentuated by sports, cynicism, pop culture, and self-reference.

Working

disgruntled customers, lazy co-workers, and spreading your legs
around the pole.
The Soft Way: Beaching
| 6-13-05
Mikey's friend Michelle is back with a lot more sun to the head
and a lot less clothing on her back. Watch out boys, it's a cruel
summer!
Rejection
| 6-5-05
Whether it's employment, pride or pussy on the line, the fear of
rejection is ultimately what drives us all to perform.
May 2005
Logging On |
5-22-05
Any astronomer who says no one knows what's inside of a black
hole obviously hasn't signed on to AIM and Facebook simultaneously.
Having Fun
|
5-15-05
Is it really that hard to have fun you ask? Considering things
like lame freshman dorms, futile vomiting, and sexual
rejection...yes.
Majoring in Film

Given a camera, most amateurs turn into Webshots whores. But

level.
The Soft Way

You've waited 'til the last minute to study, but that's ok,

God long enough?
Picking Up Women

It's springtime and hot young ladies are dressed in less. Are
you ready to impress? Uh-oh, better take care of that boner first.

The first days of spring beckon, but your professors continue to
shove classes in your face. It's an age-old weather versus student
struggle.

Two people forced to share cramped living quarters? Blasphemy!
Here's how to tackle sharing, fighting, sleeping and
showering...apart.

Growing a Beard
|
2-27-05

Time to gather up what little bit of testosterone you have left
and head to the gym, or you can kiss your manliness goodbye.
A Valentine's Whine
|
2-13-05

don't.
Cutting Your Hair

shorter." Here's how to approach the salons without sacrificing your

Maintaining Personal Hygiene

Everyone not from a nudist colony wears them, but here's how to
avoid the pitfalls of an everyday wardrobe malfunction (not
Janet's).
Teaching Yourself Guitar
|

All the hype, all the songs, all the shopping, and suddenly
everything's over. Now it's time to cleanup the mess.
Going Out to Dinner
|
12-19-04
It's hard to digest all the restaurant logistics, whether it's a
late-night appetizer with friends, or an early chain buffet dinner
with the fam.
Joining a Student Organization
