Critiquing Myself
I don’t have a thick skin. Journalists are supposed to. But I don’t. I don't handle criticism well. So, instead of criticizing someone else and hurting their feelings in a way that I know I don’t enjoy, I thought I’d start with myself. Let me thicken my own skin.

Eclipsed Melodies: Unveiling the Heart of The Idol
In the realm of captivating narratives and flickering screens, there emerged a television show that promised to be a symphony of emotions, a window into the glitzy yet shadowy world of fame. Titled "The Idol," it bore the weight of anticipation as it set out to explore the dichotomy between dreams and disillusionment, fame and fragility.

Unraveling Time's Palindrome: Deconstructing Christopher Nolan's "Tenet"
In the dim glow of cinematic anticipation, the latest offering from the esteemed yet enigmatic director Christopher Nolan emerges—like an intricately woven tapestry of reality and imagination. "Tenet," they call it, a palindrome title hinting at the mysterious entanglements of time inversion and the tantalizing promise of a narrative that both begins and ends in a mirror-like symmetry.

A Critique Of Vocal's Search
Vocal's Search facilities often don't return what we are looking for, but it's very powerful in what it does. It searches within text as well as titles, but if you know who wrote the story you are after add their name to the search and you usually find your story.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

Man In The Box
Man In The Box has always been my favorite Alice In Chains song. Perhaps because I’ve often felt that I’ve been trying to escape the box that people are always trying to paint me into. Most definitely it has something to do with Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal styling.

In the Mix with YouTube
Music mix channels are some of the best parts of YouTube. They keep you company when writing or studying. They’re great for finding new music, without having to dig through tons of other channels, or Spotify. It’s often the best part of my day to put music on and write.

Justin Bieber's Purpose Album
Dressed up as an album charting personal growth, 'Purpose' instead unfolds as a cautionary tale of stunted artistic evolution. Its tracks, replete with feigned regret and borrowed platitudes, perform a hollow charade of faux maturity. The result is not a harmonious symphony, but a jarring, disappointing cacophony of missed opportunities.

The Calvin Stickers
Let the grifters grift. It’s their only gift. You work hard on your craft. You spend hours on your craft. Just for someone to drop a link. Or worse, they drop something unrelated. It stinks. Maybe Bill Watterson was right, when he chose to ignore the sticker grifters. We’ll see.

Does size matter?
Does size matter? Am I critiquing an actual work here? Nope. Just expressing a thought. How big should a link be at the end of an article? I often like my pics for covers, because some Unsplash images make links too large when linked at the bottom of an article.
