the utterly random magazine
Hello readers,
We will be taking a short hiatus to revamp the look of the site as well as restructure our staff. We want to make the magazine better both for you and us. Expect a sleek new look and more engaging content when we’re back. If you have any suggestions, feel free to contact me at ily.goyanes@arketipo187.com. We’ll miss you, so we expect a big smooch when we reunite.
Love,
Ily Goyanes
Editor
Good day lovey readers,
We are rebooting the look of the magazine and will not be providing you with any riveting reading material today. We apologize.
THE MGMT
We were going to write about the fact that the shooter who killed four people in a school in France is thought to have videotaped the incident, but it just isn’t that kind of Tuesday, so we decided to post one of our favorite videos instead.
We can’t exactly put our finger on what is so funny about this guy, we just know he makes us lofao. Enjoy.

Last Saturday, the talk here at AK187 was all about kittens. And why not? They’re cute, funny, and just a little bit un-smart.
But today, let’s focus on one of the current political debates: birth control. I’d like to juxtapose the proximity of Valentine’s Day (a day of love and, presumably, lovemaking, which leads to conception) and our politicians’ recent bouts of anti- and pro-contraceptive stances.
The Catholic Church has just been granted a plan that will not require the Church itself to provide birth control in its insurance coverage for its workers. The insurers will now have to approach individuals and offer prescription birth control free of charge.
The Church has some arguments against this, of course, but the focus here is that these discussions are taking place on the eve of a love-focused holiday.
In my opinion, there couldn’t have been a better time to bring up these issues, as it will remind frothy teenagers everywhere to put a cap on their soldier, as they say. Okay, maybe not teenagers — they may not be the group that’s paying the most attention — but people will have a friendly reminder to sex safely.
We’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Remember Saturday cartoons? This day and age, we have Caturday videos:
Have a blessed Saturday!

Happy Saturday! While most Miamians are probably still hung over or in bed from last night at the club, some might be out and about looking for ways to engage in their community! As part of my campaign to promote community using Craigslist as a resource, here’s more good and cool stuff I found on Craigslist!
