Why they're awesome: Not only do they produce, write and compose their own music using a medley of different instruments (surprisingly not a lot of guitar), but they cover Top 40 songs in hilarious, creative, and viral ways that have YouTubers all abuzz. Maniac are artists in all sense of the word. Their creative abilities do not end in the music world, but rather continue to flow into creating visual art pieces. Who knows what else they'll have to offer.

I love her.

Is Chivalry Dead?

Well, no, it isn't. But chivalry amongst 20-something females towards the elderly and mobility-challenged? Definitely not, shockingly. Today a young woman no more than 24 years of age stuck out her left arm to be used as an armrest by an elderly overweight woman who was getting off of a streetcar. This may not appear as a big deal to some, or you may not even notice this action occur, but it occurred to me! I wouldn't even think of offering a helping hand, literally, to someone who is slow in getting off of public transportation just as this 20-something girl did. I don't think I'm a bad person--that isn't the point. From now on I will be more helpful and this is all because I saw someone else do a nice deed.
