Adventures In Driving
by Matt Taylor on May 1, 1999 at 12:29 amSo I finally went and got my license. It’s really about time. There’s something strange, and well, kind of pathetic about a guy who doesn’t get his driver’s license until more than halfway through his senior year. But in my defense, there is quite a list of reasons as to why it took me so [...]
How To Be A Superhero
by Matt Taylor on April 1, 1999 at 12:29 am-Matthew experienced a severe case of writer’s block this issue, so I, the heroic Dark Offender, came to his rescue, and will be filling his place. – It’s not easy being a super hero in the small suburbs of Mountain View and Los Altos. One would think that in such mild surroundings a super hero [...]
The other day, my parents interrupted my video game playing to tell the whole family some “important news.” My first impression was, “Uh-oh, what did we do wrong this time?” Such family gatherings on such short notice worried my brothers and I. Fortunately the news was to the contrary, and quite positive. “We have some [...]
Monkey Business

I hadn’t [...]
-Disregard anything and everything that I wrote in the last issue…I lied.- For those of you who didn’t read the last issue of The Bachelor’s Corner (either because you didn’t care to, had chronic memory loss, or simply because I bore you to tears), I stated that I would be giving up all my romantic [...]
I must be doing something wrong. Maybe if I shaved my head and actually talked to her once in a while… I apologize if it seems as though this is the only thing on my mind right now, but that’s because it is. Come on, admit it. We’ve all been there, these little escapades of [...]
With Homecoming just around the corner, it seems appropriate that I leave a few words of wisdom. (or complete lack thereof) For those girls who think that the guys have it easy because they get to do the asking, I’d like to rebut that line of thinking. The following is an example involving a young [...]
The Fine Art Of Rejection
by Matt Taylor on September 1, 1998 at 12:29 amI’ve decided that I am destined to be a bachelor for life. This is of course, not by choice, but it seems to be my unspeakable fate. I come to this conclusion after receiving yet another “Dear John” style rejection letter. Nothing like a good rejection letter to brighten one’s day. To the writer’s credit [...]
