The unforgettable Daytona 500 for all the wrong reasons

By {Jaycob Ammerman} | gargoyle@flagler.edu

BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ … “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end.”

I really hate waking up to my alarm clock, especially at 5:30 in the morning, but waking up to the great James Taylor made it just a little bit better.

Today, though, was not just an ordinary day. I didn’t really care what time it was.

It was the day where I would witness the world’s biggest spectacle of racing and rednecks — the Daytona 500.

Let’s Do The Political Timewarp Again

We’re in a heated primary in this country for the presidential nomination.

We’ve got a candidate that is inevitably going to be the party’s candidate despite little support from his actual party. He’s a completely white bread candidate from Massachusetts, is incredibly loaded and comes off awkwardly at campaign events. His main competition appeals to the common man, is quick to bring up his blue-collar roots, and has a serious passion for sweaters.

Wait, when the hell did it become 2004 again?

Models should be tall and skinny

By Amber James | gargoyle@flagler.edu

She was tall and blonde with long legs, a great chest and flawless skin. I watched as she strutted her way from our line in front of the scouts. They too were watching her like a hawk. Some scribbled down notes, others concentrated on her steps.

It was ‘us’ against ‘them.’ We all loved to hate them. They were too uppity, too northern, too trendy, too gay. But we all wanted to be part of their world– the modeling world.

Langhorne Slim and the Law to play Cafe 11 March 10

By Ryan Buffa | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Langhorne Slim and the Law will be playing the Original Café 11 on Saturday, March 10 and will bring a gospel sound with a rock and roll feel.

Langhorn Slim fits into the folk, singer-songwriter genre and going to his live performances could be described as a gospel-like experience. This is because his creative process requires three aspects that bleed into his live performances.

“Pay attention to the spirit when it moves you. Try to write down every idea. Feed inspiration with love,” Slim said.
