The eggs were all hidden in the grass, waiting for the youngest kid in our family to find them. This wasn’t her first egg hunt this Easter, but it was the first with eggs she could actually hatch. Whether it was when she was dyeing the eggs with her cousins or looking for them at […]

Between August 2004 and May 2007, I worked my way up through the award-winning Chico State University newspaper, The Orion. I started as an opinion columnist, became the assistant entertainment editor, then the assistant online editor, followed by being a photographer and assistant photo editor, and finally came back as opinion editor.
Before Cindy Sheehan comes to town and the eagles and the doves dump a heaping helping of Iraq crap on Chico, I’d like to squeeze in a few rational words. There has been enough fact distortion on both sides that it’s easy to lose track or keep score of what’s going on. Score one for […]
Wild parties, crazy Greeks and dead students. Talk to anyone about Chico State and eventually one of those three stereotypes will pop up. The reputation this school has isn’t pretty, and it’s wrong for the most part. People party here just like on any other campus. People do stupid things here just like on any […]
After four years at Chico State and three on staff with The Orion, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve been living a lie. For too long I’ve been hiding the fact that I’m really the person behind so many rumors and terrible things, and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly. As the first step of my […]
Your favorite college newspaper is about to get a lot better. No, not The State Hornet. The Orion Online is becoming even more convenient for your online lifestyle. There is a total redesign that’s beginning to find its legs. We’re going to pull an Apple Computer on you though and just say it’s going to be […]
Last week’s column seemed to generate a lot of angry e-mails (read: zero), so I felt the need to clear up a point I made about computers. I wrote about how furious I was to see people buying cheap laptops at Wal-Mart and it needs to be stated that I love (read: hate) Wal-Mart. I also […]
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas. Who gives a flying-eh, it’s not worth breaking out the profanity. This has been a massive political debate that makes me want to vomit profusely. And when I use the word “profusely”, I really mean it. The only reason why we’re debating this is because Tom DeLay might lose his position […]
Christmas is coming and the end of the world is near. No, it’s not war, famine, or the bird flu. It’s time to shop and jump into the magic of the holiday season and buy respect from your friends and coworkers. There is a way to keep sane this holiday season. I’ve expanded on last […]
If I had $50 million, I wouldn’t use it to make millions of people tell me I’m wrong. Our wonderful governor, however, just wrote himself into a blockbuster hole. The script called for him to jump into California and tear the dirty hippies out here a new one. He was supposed to make the unions […]
President Bush picked his new nominee for the Supreme Court last Monday. Before I even get to his name, I might as well mention that I’m insulted by Bush’s choice. I’m not just talking about the nominee, I’m talking more about the timing. This choice came the Monday after Vice President Dick Cheney’s assistant, Lewis […]
