By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com There’s plenty wrong with this city. Some people are rude, others scheme and there are those who lie so often that they’ve forgotten how to tell the truth. Among their most significant accomplishments include widening a rift that’s divided the community. Congratulations. Sadly, the people I’m referring to are …

By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com Imagine, if you will, a general office setting – let’s say an advertising agency – filled with employees furiously typing away comfortably behind their cubicles. Their trusty Dallas Cowboys coffee mug is nearby, an iPod player sits next to their computer and their cell is always kept handy for… …

By FRANCISCO E. JIMENEZ Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com It is amazing the affect our senses can have on our lives, on our memories and the decisions we make. I have been known to purchase music, even if it is terrible, simply for the memories they evoke. Certain tastes can take me to my grandmother’s house on …

By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com It’s not uncommon for people to feel a little intimidated, even downright threatened by the media. This apprehension usually leads to miscommunication. Simply put, all too often have relatively harmless questions posed to interviewees by reporters elicited reactions that adversely affected the tone of an article. Case in point: …

By FRANCISCO E. JIMENEZ Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com I am not a man of constant sorrow, though some people may disagree. It seems like not a day goes by in which somebody doesn’t ask me what’s wrong, or if I am alright. It is safe to say that I am constantly lost in a thick forest …

By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com My wife tells me that my eyes widen when I try to tell a lie. What can I say? Honest men make unconvincing liars. It doesn’t help that I usually employ this failed tactic when attempting to camouflage my ulterior motives with a false sense of consideration. For instance, …

By FRANCISCO E. JIMENEZ Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com Most of my Wednesdays are pretty slow. I tend to spend most of the day recovering from a late night deadline, sometimes a slight hangover (I kid), reporting on any breaking news, and searching the web for any ideas for my blasé, grammatically erroneous column. On most occasions …

By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com I’ve grown quite fond of one particular Twilight Zone episode that, unlike many of the series’ eerie themes, showcases a rather uplifting message. In “Night of the Meek,” Art Carney plays Henry Corwin, a down-on-his-luck department store Santa Claus who never met a bottle of liquor he didn’t like. …

By FRANCISCO E. JIMENEZ Staff Writer reporter@sbnewspaper.com Every morning, when I arrive at work, and after getting settled at my desk and going through emails, I like to put on some music. Sometimes it’s a continuation of what I was already listening to on my iPod during my five to 10 minute drive to work, …
