My guide to summertime binge drinking at local parks

Or, how to be a kid and an adult at the same time

By Alex Zaragoza

It was at a birthday party recently over craft beers and pizza at Pizza Port in Ocean Beach where I heard the woe of many late-20-somethings expressed with sullen nostalgia.

Spirit guides and past life readings

Getting to know myself with a professional healer

By Alex Zaragoza

It’s strange for me, in particular, after years of what felt like stagnation in my personal life. There’s a charge in the air that led me to ask the universe a simple yet important question: What the fuck is going on?

Great women in history

Why witnessing a UFC match in Anaheim brought tears to my eyes

By Alex Zaragoza

The culture surrounding UFC has always felt like a strange cult to me, like Heaven's Gate, Jonestown or that other brutal yet freakishly fascinating cult, child beauty pageants.

Baby oil, beefcakes and breast fondling

A night at Over the Border's male strip revue

By Alex Zaragoza

I consider myself a feminist, so when it comes to female exotic dancers, I’ve always felt a combination of awe and aw, man. If a woman chooses to do airborne leg splits on a pole while a bunch of horny dudes make it rain dollar bills and it allows her to pay her rent, more power to her.

My tour through the Museum of Creationism and Earth History

Are you there, God? It’s me, logic

By Alex Zaragoza

I’ve never had a problem with the theory of evolution—not because I’m of a strict scientific mind or a staunch atheist or I think people do kind of look like primates.

Talking to dead people

Connecting to the other side with a psychic medium

By Alex Zaragoza

The question of what happens after we die has always haunted me. It haunts most of us non-hippies who have no clue about chakra flows.

Getting gunshy around heavily armed children

An afternoon at an East County shooting range

By Alex Zaragoza

East County has always been a strange, foreign planet to me. It’s sort of like the basement baby of San Diego, or the weird child that parents hide whenever people they want to impress come over for dinner.

Fighting age with bad music

How cheesy songs helped kick my not-so-fresh feeling

By Alex Zaragoza

I am not Carrie Bradshaw. I never looked up to her impeccably styled columnist character on Sex and the City, who often “had to wonder” about shoes and how they relate to the rich dude she was boning at that time.
