Epic love stories and relationships as depicted in pop culture, though it rarely turns out like that in real life.
Always expect the magic of the fog
I have a personal method of relaxation that has never failed me. The mysteries of the fog thread my needle whether I am actually in the midst of it or reading about it. I imagine I am standing on a cliff and can jump out into the mist that is so thick that it catches me and I am borne on the air itelf. My enchantment with the mist from low lying clouds began with a tale titled FOG MAGIC.

Let's Get Quizzical
My passion for trivia began when I was 8 years old while watching Jeopardy! with my grandmother. I was so amazed and perplexed each time she would confidently yell out the answer, and even more so when Canada’s sweetheart Alex Trebek deemed her correct.

Why I Want to Share My Passion For Nostalgia
I'm a little biased. I grew up in the 1980s, so to me: it's the perfect decade. The older I get, the more I appreciate the things from my youth. Call it golden-age thinking--or wearing rose-colored glasses--but the memories of our past are still powerful.

The Sewol Conspiracy
It is Tuesday April 15, 2014 and 325 students from Danwon High School are excitedly boarding school buses for a four day field trip, a trip by ferry boat. They were bound for South Korea’s Jeju Island. It was a dream come true and the second year high school students were excited to be spending several days on the resort island with many beautiful sites such as; the domant volcano Hallasan Mountain, the horse shaped lighthouses at Iho Taewoo Beach, or one of the hundreds of museums scattered all across the island such as the Jeju Natural Stone Art Museum. But before the kids even make it to the island their most exciting event was in the planning; a surprise birthday party for their beloved teacher Kim Cho-won who was turning 26 that day. The party was set to commence that evening on the The Sewol ferry boat. The bus ride to the Incheon port was full of good cheer, with gleeful singing along to the latest K-Pop singers of the day such as, Hyolyn and AKMU and taking selfies of each other.

A Heist with Markiplier Review
This review comes from my Letterboxd profile, where I review the movies and limited series I watch. What a weird thing to put on Letterboxd. Not that I'm complaining. It gave me an excuse to finally sit down and go through every single ending of this awesome adventure. I spent a good chunk of last night and this morning trying to get everything, and I have to say, I had a blast. This is probably one of the most ambitious projects any YouTuber has undertaken, if not the most ambitious of all time. This thing has action sequences, animated sequences, special effects, musical numbers, spastic editing, awesome costumes and make-up, cameos from other YouTubers, and 31 different and very strange endings to choose from. This thing is crazy, this thing is fun, and I loved pretty much every single minute of it.

My mix tapes
As a teen I felt like every day of high school was emotional suicide. It was hard to be popular and have that popularity hang by the thread holding up, the microscope I was existing under. I felt like every decision that I made was going to affect the reputation that was following my like a shadow every where I went. I used to listen to music and it would calm me. Of course I would have to wait until the song I wanted to listen would play on the radio, just so I would be able to record it on my cassette tape. I had three to be specific. One was a motivational tape full of toe tappers. “Girls just wanna have fun,” and “Let’s here it for the boy,“. The second was a masterpiece of heartache. Whenever, Tammy Kufchack stole my boyfriend, because, it was a regular thing. I would listen to a song by the band, Poison “Every rose has its thorn” and I just knew, “ every light had its dawn.” I would listen to my music and devour my favorite pint of Rocky Road ice cream, nursing the broken heart I had just received over some boy I cant even remember the name of right now. Last but not least the third mix tape was a head banging tribute to every hair band boy that decorated the walls of my bedroom. “Ratt, Poison,and Motley Crue.” This was the perfect combination of remorse, revenge and just plain angst. So here is to the perfect tapes that I had to rewind with my #2 pencil. Who would have thought those songs can still 40 years later bring back fond memories of, “what’s his name."
