A Man on the Street: The "Time Out of Mind" Experience
Whilst I was on my postgraduate degree, as you know, I did not have many friends. That was not due to bullying or malice on someone else’s part towards me but instead it was because I chose to. I chose not to befriend these people because I found them snobby, especially the way they talked about literature and how it ‘was not intelligent’ to read popular novels etc. They were very arrogant about the community of people who like to read things like beach reads, YA and mainstream Sci-Fi and would make jokes about it. They would make jokes about people who were less well-off than them and honestly, it made me feel uncomfortable and sick even though may parents had to pay to send me to school. I still cannot fathom how people can be so nasty. When I was studying poetry, I would like to choose a random Bob Dylan album to inspire me in order to get my mind off other people. The album I chose here was “Time Out of Mind”.

My very 1st (album) review
I would like to start this venture into personally uncharted territory by expressing extreme gratitude and give a major hat tip to one of my favorite cousins, who is a friendly rival of sorts and unquestionably a dear brother. Without his recommendation and whatnot, I feasibly may have left this path to be pondered only in hindsight.

Taylor Swift "Speak Now" Review
It has been quite some time since Taylor Swift stepped into the music scene as a country singer at 16 years old. She had set a precedent for starry-eyed female country singers struggling to overthrow the beer and pickup truck fad set by their male counterparts. Swift established herself as a force to be reckoned with through the release of her self-titled debut album. Swift has long since moved on from dreaming of a Romeo and Juliet love story and has struggled to prove to critics that age did not define her ability to write musical masterpieces that could dominate the charts.
