Words of Wisdom
August 31, 2011
I've been a fan of Thought Catalogue for a while now. As the website describes itself, "Thought Catalogue is a place for relevant and relatable non-fiction and thought." Basically, the website is overflowing with short stories written by many writers who submit their stories (which must be 500 words or less) to the website.
I remember when DJ Blue Steel used to submit his short stories to an online short story contest page back in the day (hmm I might have to feature some of his short stories in the future.)
Here are a few of my favorite Thought Catalogue submissions:

The thing I love most about Thought Catalogue is that it is straight-forward. People write how they feel and aren't afraid to do it. In a world where society puts so many social-limits on you it is great to see that you have a place where you can write anything and everything you're feeling, unedited, submit it, and have it published for others to relate to how you feel.
What's your favorite Thought Catalogue story?

Music Monday- Never Gonna Leave This Bed (Maroon 5)
August 29, 2011
The video for this song is reminiscent of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1970's "Give Peace A Chance" bed-in. Their alternative to violence was to "stay in bed and grow your hair." There is so much meaning behind what John & Yoko did, and I love that this video reminds me of that, but on a more personal-relationship level; "stay in bed and be faithful."

Music Monday - Skinny Love (Bon Iver)
August 22, 2011
Fun Fact: Did you know that the name for the band derives from "Bon Hiver" which means "good winter" in french. People were pronouncing the name wrong (in french the "h" is silent), so they decided to change it to "Bon Iver."

WINNERS: What's in a Name? Contest
August 16, 2011
Thanks so much again to everyone who entered!! Promise there will be many more contests to come :))
Congrats Olivia Dello Buono who named this shirt “The Andie.”
When I saw this I immediately got flashbacks of a young Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink. She was an icon of style in the 80's, and rightfully so. It makes sense to pair this chic shirt with an iconic film character.
**I loved the name of this shirt, especially because I love just about every movie that Molly RIngwald was ever in!! Pretty in Pink is one of my favs! And have a thing with naming Boy names to shirts :)
Congrats Amy Rouse, who named this shirt "Possibili-tees."
… Because it's white and the message makes you think of the possibilities...
** Love this. College is all about possibilities and pursuing your dreams. Always reach for the stars!
Congrats Jess Santopetro who named this shirt the "Up All Night" Tee...
Because when you're in college you're up all night either studying or partying ;-)
** Yes indeed and when you’re out of college it seems to be work & play. Of course I work in the city that never sleeps so liked this especially.
Congrats Rina Red who named this shirt the “Drama Queen” tee.
This tee represents the Drama clubs.. A boy meets a girl in drama club and shared their first kiss on stage.
** .. and so begins the story of Boy Meets Girl :)
Congrats Karen Pontti who named this shirt, the “Naughty-n-Nice” tee.
The idea that bad girls eat candy implies that there is some sweetness in is all
**..Enough Said :)

Stacy
