Rate and Review: Kaash Paige 'Teenage Fever'

(08/27/20 10:42am)

I’m exactly one year and one day older than Kaash Paige. This seems important somehow. Maybe it’s because when you’re young, musicians and artists are the ones in the real world, much older than you, with life experiences you try your best to relate to. No one tells you this next part will happen, but then, as you transition from your teens into your twenties, instead of being windows into experiences you’ve never lived, some artists become mirrors that look back at the journey you’ve taken.

Orange and Boo: Dating then and now

(08/05/20 10:47am)

With all of the changes the world has endured as of late, it’s no wonder plenty of people have moved back in with Mom and Dad. And by plenty of people, I mean me. All this time spent around them allowed me to look at their relationship and consider it’s beginnings. As their story goes (which they love to tell), the two met at work. Dad asked Mom what she was doing later that day as to gauge how free she’d be for a work-related task. Her response? “Why? Are you taking me out tonight?”
