Army Of One: The story that safety isn't in numbers
This was a story I strayed away from just from the tiny image I saw, it alarmed me from the image of two people stitched together. Any sinister story Junji Ito crafts into a cultivating tale of terror. We never know what to expect. This one took many different turns to the ending that was sewn into our psyche.

It's not the Same
Attraction. Relationships. It's not the same anymore. The ways have changed. I'll explain from my point of view because the frustrations have gotten to me about who doesn't listen to what my answer is. It's on deaf ears. I’m not speaking in an antagonist way against men, I do see the other side and I’m not a prudish feminist about that matter. It’s a neutral commentary about what I experienced.

Ivy Levan: The Dame of the Decade
When I watched the movie Spy (2015), During the opening credits, there was a song very reminiscent of a bond song, fitting for the movie. When I got home I had to find out what that song was, and who sang this song. I found out it was and I had a plethora of songs she made to discover from this modern-day dame.

The change of beauty norms
Self-grooming has been apart of our culture since who knows how long when it began for women to put on makeup, do their hair, shave every part of their body up to the eyebrows, and put on a dress. It's what we've been programmed to do. I remember having to start these norms in the fifth grade. I'm going to go down the list of what we've been accustomed to have to do and why we don't have to follow the beauty protocol, as the evolution has changed, those norms don't have to go with our way of life now. I'll also be giving my own side to how I have evolved as well.

Bands that should be on your radar
There is more of a chance for other rising musicians to make a name for themselves, and they have, but it's not the same acclaim as popular bands that got lucky for worldwide spread or had to work harder to get the name out there. The bands I have discovered the past years have had positive praises but not enough of a fanbase, it almost seems like it's an underground movement since it's not in the mainstream. We all love the same bands but at some point it gets tiring to see the same bands over and over again in the media or hearing it on the radio repeatedly. When there is other talent out there that just hasn't gotten that same treatment. Here is my list of bands you should listen to.

Writing tips for starters or struggles
I've been asked how I am able to stay focused on writing or get my central ideas for the plot together when I wrote my first book. Most writers I know can just get right into it and keep going. To quote one writer I know he says, "Don't think, just write" which is true. In the present time you have the idea, it can be edited or expanded later on. But if there is a present idea that needs to have a balanced outline. This is the method I created and it has worked for me. I don't know if all of my tips can work to your progress, but one or two may pertain.

Why you should watch Broadchurch
This is a series that has a lot to offer than regular crime shows. It's more than the avaunt guard procedural drama like The Killing or Blue Bloods with small-town secrets like Justified. Crime shows are a dime a dozen on different television networks or sequel series to continue one long idea like Criminal Minds Or CSI.

An open letter to a fractured friendship
It's an anxiety-induced feeling when something altered happens to what seemed like normal camaraderie. I've had moments where I couldn't have my chance to say something to fix what I didn't know was broken or it was altered by the former comrade. Over the past years, I've lost friends that I thought were going to be in my life for a long time, but it didn't turn out that way. When a friendship is over it feels as if there is no option to talk it through or resolve what happened whether it was a problem or a rift that split it. I've never gotten to have these moments of what I wanted to say to a friend that broke up something that wasn't even broken. I'm sure most people feel that way when something happens and there was never resolve. Even if it can't be mended but the hurt has to be heard. But what matters the most at the end of this chapter...

Songs that give off Witch vibes
The songs I have picked are universal to any kind of witch you strive to be, whether it be mischievous, ethereal, or just wanting the vibes to match that you don't want to be messed with. Some of these songs have a lyrical context that I have found to be parallel to various elements. Some of these songs can stand along with their own message, I just happen to find a bit of a witch vibe in these tunes. Get your magic wand, get a glass of wine, and enjoy these songs for your witching hour.
