The Great 3 a.m. Artistic Reckoning
Ah, the classic 3 a.m. existential crisis is when your brain revisits your past creative endeavours and questions your sanity. We've all experienced a moment when your inner critic wakes up, stretches, and says, "Hey, remember that poem you publicly wrote to your future husband or about limerance? Yeah, that was a choice."

Our Flag
What does it mean to fly the flag? The flag is the symbol for enduring freedom for all. Flying the flag on the Fourth of July, Flag Day or any other patriotic day shows that one cares for their country and to those who have served to protect it from invaders. The flag that shows in its' stars and stripes how proud we citizens are for what we have. The flag is a symbol of honor, so let it fly high in the sky.

Exploring the themes of woman empowerment through Netflix's Trigger Warning
Exploring the themes of woman empowerment through Netflix's Trigger Warning As we evolve into the changing nuances of contemporary cinema, the stereotypical portrayals of women as passive and nurturing abodes for their masculine figures have seen a new light with female representation as thought-provoking leaders and competent individuals who are no damsels in distress waiting for their saviours. Netflix’s recent movie Trigger Warning, starring Jessica Alibi, is a similar hard-hitting tale. Jessica Alba channels her inner maverick as she plays a serving U.S. military officer who must return home after a tragic incident. Despite the film's excellent craftsmanship, some of its subtleties revert to the same clichés that can be found in other Hollywood productions. Let's examine the themes of women's empowerment that the movie explores in more detail.

The Rifleman
'The Rifleman' starring Chuck Conners was a television western about Lucas McCain and his son Mark in the town of North Fork near Laramie. In each episode there was a lesson to learn whether for an adult or a child. I remember the beginning when Lucas is slowly walking shooting the rifle rapid fire with Chuck Conners staring at the camera. This was a series that was before my time, but I have seen a few reruns from time to time. It was a series that followed a particular sequence from episode to episode. There is a crime and investigation of sorts and a solution sought after and a decision made.

Valley of the Dinosaurs
Back in the day on Saturday mornings in the late seventies there were various kinds of programs from the normal cartoon to live action programs. There was a cartoon that I remember entitled 'Valley of the Dinosaurs' a cartoon about the Butler family and their trip of exploration into the prehistoric past. The cartoon was well-detailed in depicting the Butler family and the cave family they encountered and their surroundings from the flora to the fauna (dinosaurs). There were lessons to learn about cooperation and accepting others for who they are.

An open letter to my friend and soul character, Monica.
An open letter to my friend and soul character, Monica. Someone who overthinks is also someone who overloves. Ahh! that quote hitd the heart in the same way cupid strikes his dart. Monica Geller, the super organized, super smart, classy woman, you have always been the backbone of your group, the one whom everyone would turn to when in need, or when they needed a shoulder to cry on. Family is the safe place that shields you from the animosity of the outer world. It helps you build your self-image and creates a sense of belonging.
