Deer in Headlights vs. Man of Action

There are two different kinds of people in this world: those who thrive in emergency situations and those who run to the nearest corner and curl up in the fetal position. Well, maybe they don’t get that scared, but most just freeze and do nothing. And I do mean most. There are many situations that [...]

True Story Tuesday: Collapse

Today a new weekly trend begins! Every Tuesday here at Scribute, from now until the end of time, will be True Story Tuesday. This means every Tuesday I will post a review of a documentary movie. The reason for this is (1) because I love documentaries and (2) because this is the Blog of Knowledge and it's hard to walk away from most documentaries without gaining at least a little bit of knowledge. So on to my first review: Collapse.

Top 3 Motivational Movies

Blow

Whether you just did a line or just started your career at the DEA, you can not deny that George Jung is one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of all time. Be careful though; watching this movie will make you want to become a drug dealer/mobster/gangster and if you follow through with this desire, you may land yourself in prison. That is my official warning.

“Don’t Say Gay” Commercials are Gay

So by now most people have seen the commericals put out by the Ad Council aimed at teenagers for using the word “gay” to describe something that is stupid. I just saw this for the first time yesterday, and I am appalled. This is fucking ridiculous. In no way, shape, or form could this ever [...]

Fuck Pollution, Fuck Man-Made

Today I walked through the forest barefoot and shirtless. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had in a long time and I plan to continue this as a daily tradition. In fact I am going to spend much more time outside than I have been recently. It saddens me to see [...]

The Lost Art of Fire Building

Often, when building a campfire or backyard bonfire, there is that one person who tries to take control of creating it and who has very little knowledge of how to properly build or start a fire. They gather all of the wood and material to start it with, making them seem knowledgeable when they come [...]

I’m Back

So, it’s been a while…how have you been? Keeping up with this blog gets tough during the school months, which is a bad excuse for not posting in a while. Scribute has become a small (very small) internet archive of useful information, according to Google Analytics, which reports that a small number of people still [...]

On Racism

First and foremost, racism is completely ignorant and unnecessary. There is no reason to ever hate anyone because of their outer appearance, and there are not, nor will there ever be, exceptions to this rule. Racism is not only found among Whites, it is found in Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and every other race on the [...]

I Was Shat On…

So there was this big college party, about three blocks from my dorm, the largest dorm on campus. It was at one of the local fraternity houses and I was a Freshman trying to experience everything in this crazy new college, party life. My friend Dan had heard about this party so I tagged along, [...]

An Essay On The Battle Over Citizen Kane

This is not the story of Orson Welles’ experience in making the movie “Citizen Kane,” nor is it a documentary on how it was made. This is the documentary of the relationship between Orson Welles, director of “Citizen Kane” and William Randolph Hearst, the man whose life the movie is based on. Welles was just [...]
