Reset your password… Those are the first words Matthew saw when he tried to login in to his profile on the dating website known as Date Slate. “Um, why is it asking me to change my password?” he thought to himself. “I’ve been using this app for a year and haven’t had a problem yet. Oh well, gotta do what I gotta do, Paris is waitin’. After thinking about it for a minute Matthew finally came up with a name he thought was suitable: B0n7our95. He put the password in and was and granted access to his dating profile. When the profile came up on the screen of his laptop he saw he had a message from a young woman named Paris Moore. “Can’t wait to finally meet you in person.” the message read. “Can’t wait to meet you too.” Matthew responded. I’ll see you in 30 mins, gonna get ready.”

Lifelines
Suicide. It’s one of the most sensitive subjects of reality to talk about in mixed company. One of the most difficult aspects of it is how we regard people with suicidal thoughts. Suicide is very traumatic, perhaps more for the living than the dead. I think the only way to truly fight suicide is a better sense of understanding and empathy towards the suicidal.

Vocalized
One evening in the beginning of the year the girlfriend of one of my family members sparked up a conversation about her interest in publishing children stories for Amazon.com while we were attending bible study. She mentioned how she could potentially earn money doing so and while I was listening to her a lightbulb went off in my head. I thought to myself maybe I should look into this by seeing if Amazon or perhaps another website might possibly publish my writing. After doing some web surfing I came across a website named Vocal.com. After registering for the site and building a profile I officially became a member of Vocal.com and it was here that I finally started putting my passion for writing into motion and the written works I would create would meet the eyes of many in ways I never imagined.

I’ve written about several of them who have had a big impact on me, including Ray Liotta and Jason David Frank, so now I want pay tribute to some of our other favorite entertainers who parted ways with us this year.

In the middle of singing “Sleigh Ride” the radio suddenly switches songs and starts playing “Soul Holiday” by Sounds Of Blackness.” “It's time to celebrate. Let's all come together to share our hearts of love, that we feel for one another.” the lyrics continue as Carol’s mood changes. “Aw man, why’d they have to change up on me? Knowin’ this is my favorite part. This is why I only like Apple Music now.” she said while taking her eyes off the road to speak to the radio in an animated manner.
