Finding Peace in Chaos
These times have put the world through the ultimate emotional meat grinder. No one can watch the news without seeing something that hurts, or causes them to sink just a little deeper into the motions of the chaos. How do we find peace, when it’s so hard to look at the world without falling to pieces and asking what’s the point? Why should we find that peace? What’s the point when there’s so much working against us right now?

We Can't Forget, Even If It Hurts
It’s been nineteen years since 9/11/2001, and it’s really hard to say what hasn’t already been said. I know I could say a million and one different things, and hope it sticks out among the rest. However, I won’t try to do that. I’ll just try to go through the memory of this awful event for what it is, something we can’t forget, even if the memory hurts.

New Methods to the New Madness
This new way of life, even if it’s already been almost six months, is madness. So many people are worried for the moment things will really fall apart when I think to myself, we’re already there. We’re already in the heart of madness. How are people doing it? Going with the motions, lashing out, or lashing inward by drinking or destroying themselves? What’s the new methods to this new madness?

Peaches and Cream Screams
Dear, Readers, Before you read further, this is a trigger warning that this essay discusses self-mutilation, self-harm, and substance abuse. If you suffer from any of these, you’ve been warned, and if you can’t read this without being triggered, I would rather you didn’t read it.

White Apocalyptic Patriarchy
For the life of me, I can’t, even with my fair level of intelligence, understand a lot of the uproar about Cardi B’s new song. Specifically, I can’t understand why much of the harsh criticism has come from older white men in the media (through a channel I don’t have to mention, and for a party I don’t have to mention to be understood) and why this song has just made them lose their minds a little bit and want to keep talking about it. Why talk about this song when we are in one of the most tense time periods in history, with the Pandemic, protests, wild fires, and everything under the sun to make it to gain news ratings. When I think hard about it, of course, this is just what I’m seeing personally, it appears that it’s simply the issue of women talking their sexuality, their sexual preferences, and how they embrace them. Even just talking about straight forward “vanilla” sex seems to set them off for some strange reason, let alone anything like B.D.S.M. being brought into the conversation. There just seems to be an issue for them, with women, talking about sex.

I'm Divorcing J.K. Rowling, and I'm Keeping The Kids
This is a subject; I’ve wanted to take my time, to marinate over, to think very hard and do some soul searching before jumping into my thoughts and sharing them. The reason being, it is very easy for me, to want to get angry, emotional, without getting anything productive accomplished. When people are angry, start to yell, nothing happens. It’s just more arguing. However, when time has been taken to think things through, keep the passion, but lose any antagonized feelings, the important matters at hand can be discussed. That’s what I want to express right off the bat, with this essay, despite what my essay title might indicate. I don’t wish any harm, or ill will toward anyone, not towards Rowling, not towards anyone who shares her beliefs, as much as I disagree with them. What I WILL do is say what I know are inaccurate statements made by Rowling and those she supports, both from studies and personal experiences. What I can hope to accomplish is simply to educate those in the dark on what has been said, and maybe help those who share gender critical views, see the whole picture, and perhaps make the effort to look at this issue another way, rather than with anger or insults.

Dear Readers
Dear Readers, Anyone who is as much of a film and TV nerd as I am, might be familiar with the “Dear Dad Letter” episodes from “M.A.S.H.”, in other words, some of the best episodes I’ve seen so far. That’s correct; I’ve yet to finish the series. No spoilers please.

Breaking The Chains
Other than my discussion on the comparisons with “Bird Box” and this Pandemic, I haven’t done anything close to a straight forward book review as I’ve already been wanting to. Well, I never do anything straight forward, so here’s something to think about adding to your reading list, that oddly enough ties in, in a very frightening way, to the isolation we all feel right about now as we continue to more or less shelter in place during this Pandemic.

Are Writers Useless, or Needed NOW More than Ever?
This is an issue I’m sure more than a few writers are dealing with in our current state of the world, the value of their work, in a world overrun with pain and suffering. There was no shortage of these things before the Pandemic. Many writers have even been able to excel during difficult times in the world by putting it all on paper in a way that is both healthy for the writer to have those thoughts out of their system, while giving their readers a good read to help them escape their own pain. These times, however, these times are a level of difficulty unlike anything we’ve ever seen in our lifetime. Where does this leave the writers?

The Loss of A King
It isn’t often, that a writer like me is rendered almost speechless. But at the news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing, I’m at a loss, a complete loss. Nothing about it makes sense to me, when someone so talented, still so young, with so much more to give to the world as well as his craft, is taken from us.
