Bevs and Lyrics: A List
Not much happened to me this past week, so that means a list. Today I’ll be talking about a few of my favorite lyrics and what type of beverage they remind me of. The songs are in no particular order and my genres are a bit all over the place.…

Revisiting the Past: An Introspection
I logged into one of my oldest emails recently trying to find my old Myspace log-in to delete it once and for all. While looking through my oldest messages I found a lot of old things I hadn’t seen in a while. Messages from friends I don’t talk to anymore.…

I was writing something else for today’s blog post. But while taking a break, I got so distracted by the thought of a Stargate SG-1 reboot that I decided to scrap my original idea. I started to think about casting and potential continuity, what to do concerning the original movie…

Not-so New Age
My closest friends and I would be what most people call new age-y. We get together to do readings. Practice positive affirmation. Meditate to silence negativity. We attune ourselves with visits to parks or the river so as to not be bogged down with bad experiences. We joke about what…
