Award shows rock

It’s that time of year again folks, and I couldn’t be more excited! No not the Super Bowl or any other sporting event. Not the exhausting road to the White House either. I believe we have all had our fill of Republican debates and smear campaigns. No, my friends, with the start if the new... Read more »
Award shows suck
by Jeff Shedden / jshedden@valenciavoice.com
January 23, 2012
Award shows are a great way to honor the best of the film and music industries, or at least they used to be. They’ve finally crossed the line and are trying to be a form of entertainment themselves.No! That’s just a polite way of saying that pretty much every award show is a total sham, and that...

‘Devil Inside’ a test of faith

I’ve always been a sucker for horror films, and this can even include some real stinkers. My personal horror collection is around 130 titles, and includes gems like “Candyman” and “Re-animator” and junk like “The Gate” and “Xtro.” I have the entire run of the “Nightmare on Elm Street”...

Jeff hates: GOP candidates
By Jeff Shedden / jshedden@valenciavoice.com
December 13, 2011
Let’s face it, this election season’s Republican primary is the biggest freak show the GOP has ever handed us. There isn’t a single candidate in the entire bunch that would make a good president of a chess club, much less the United States. The Republican party has spent so much time trying to... Read more »
Spread love for Holidays

December 6, 2011
I love holidays. I love getting flowers on Valentine’s Day, wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day, coloring eggs on Easter, watching fireworks on the fourth of July, eating ridiculous amounts of candy on Halloween, and eating even more ridiculous amounts of turkey on Thanksgiving. And I can’t help... Read more »
Ban protects students’ health
By Neda Hamdan / Nhamdan@valenciavoice.com
December 6, 2011
As I walk through the breezeway, I’m caught off guard by the pungent smell of tobacco invading my nostrils and I can’t help but cough. Why should students be subjected to something that could potentially endanger our health? Someone dies from a tobacco-related illness every eight seconds in the United... Read more »
Right to legal substance should take precedence

December 6, 2011
The decision of the Board of Trustees to outlaw smoking on campus this past summer has gone under the radar for many students. The policy restricts all burned tobacco and according to Valencia’s online statement, “any object or device intended to simulate such use,” which includes, oddly enough,... Read more »
Short season is the best Christmas gift
By Juan Gutierrez / jgutierrez@valenciavoice.com
December 6, 2011
NBA fans have gotten an early Christmas present this year. The NBA’s players and owners reached a tentative agreement to bring NBA basketball back to the hardwood on Christmas day. The 149-day lockout is finally over. That means Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard and... Read more »
Hockey fans won’t miss NBA
By Bryan Levine / blevine@valenciavoice.com
December 6, 2011
When the NBA announced that it wouldn’t cancel the 2011-12 season, if you listened carefully, you could hear the collective sigh of every hockey fan in America. It seems ironic that at the same time the 99% protests were going on in this country, millionaires were arguing with billionaires over just... Read more »
Jeff hates: The holidays
By Jeff Shedden / jshedden@valenciavoice.com
November 29, 2011
The holiday season is blending together so much nowadays, that pretty soon we’ll just combine the months of October, November and December into one chewy lump of Halloweensgivingstmas. I realized something was amiss when I discovered that I was able to buy eggnog at the same time as Halloween candy.... Read more »
