Edward Scissorhands
my all-time favorite movie
A fantastical story with real world messages, Edward Scissorhands doesn't sugarcoat society's cruelty. Edward's community embraces him until his differences become a curse instead of blessing. Sadly this still happens.
Standout performances from Johnny Depp and Vincent Price. Visually stunning, especially the bright costumes' contrast with the townspeople's darkness!

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Understanding the P. Diddy Controversy and the 50 Cent Factor
For over three decades, the name Sean "Diddy" Combs was synonymous with the pinnacle of American success. From the glitz of the "White Parties" in the Hamptons to the chart-topping dominance of Bad Boy Records, Diddy wasn't just a mogul; he was a gatekeeper of culture. However, by 2025, the music industry’s most polished facade finally cracked. What followed was a legal and social collapse so comprehensive that it transformed a global icon into a cautionary tale of power, ego, and accountability.

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.
