John Kuvinka — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 21:47:22 +0000

Every so often we feel the need to take on a new, expensive hobby. For me, vinyl records filled that position recently. I’ve been into music since a young age, obviously. And I’ve always heard that the sound of vinyl records is much better than CDs and MP3s. But, until recently I’ve never really given them a serious shot. Having started to build my music […]

Anyone who knows me knows that music is a big part of my background. Unfortunately, it’s taken a back burner in the recent years of my life. But, even though I don’t compose like I used to, music is still an important part of me. It’s something that I’ve shared with my father from a young age and it’s gotten me through some tough times. Toward my […]

Is it me, or has America as a whole gone viral? When something new and different reaches the public anymore there seem to be no moderate responses. These topics are met with total hatred or rabid obsession. Either way, social media erupts into a frenzy. Donald Trump and Pokémon GO are two examples that come to mind.

Europe vs. America – Policy and Persona

John Kuvinka — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:58:47 +0000

The left does more often, but many suggest looking to Europe for inspiration regarding some big issues these days. Concerns like healthcare, education, the corrections process – they’re all looked at differently in Europe. Most of the time the right just calls it all socialism or communism. I’m not looking to get into a huge breakdown of every aspect of those isms. Nor do I plan on […]

Either they’re changing their party to vote in a different primary, or they’re just calling themselves something different. Either way, it leaves us questioning. What’s the cause for so much change? I’ve personally known people who have been liberal for many years yet now support Trump. On the other hand, people have been […]

It’s easy to focus on the things in life that divide us. Whether it’s politics, religion, or people’s favorite reality TV star. But what about the good stuff that binds everyone together? Food is something that we can all agree on. Food is enjoyable to everyone, and eating with others is one of the oldest forms of bonding. Breaking bread with others brings you closer […]
