Man In The Box
Man In The Box has always been my favorite Alice In Chains song. Perhaps because I’ve often felt that I’ve been trying to escape the box that people are always trying to paint me into. Most definitely it has something to do with Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal styling.

In the Mix with YouTube
Music mix channels are some of the best parts of YouTube. They keep you company when writing or studying. They’re great for finding new music, without having to dig through tons of other channels, or Spotify. It’s often the best part of my day to put music on and write.

The Calvin Stickers
Let the grifters grift. It’s their only gift. You work hard on your craft. You spend hours on your craft. Just for someone to drop a link. Or worse, they drop something unrelated. It stinks. Maybe Bill Watterson was right, when he chose to ignore the sticker grifters. We’ll see.

Does size matter?
Does size matter? Am I critiquing an actual work here? Nope. Just expressing a thought. How big should a link be at the end of an article? I often like my pics for covers, because some Unsplash images make links too large when linked at the bottom of an article.

In this captivating artwork, luminous strokes dance gracefully, forming a breathtaking play of light. Yet, while composition echoes brilliance, an opportunity for deeper narrative connection arises. By intertwining thematic elements, this symphony could evoke profound emotions, ensuring lasting resonance in the observer's heart.

Critique: Sliced Bread
The race to be the “best thing” in the eyes of the American populace has one perennial silver medalist. Sliced Bread. Surely, sheared starch satiates some. However, it’s employ as a metric of greatness is baffling. Sliced bread is the “most okayest thing” since itself. Consider jet skis instead, perhaps.

The Spider and The Fly
The images by Tony Diterlizzi beautifully capture the spider and the fly in the style of an old black and white movie. The poem, as compelling now as it was when in was first written, serves as a powerful reminder how vanity can lead us to listen to dangerous words.
