The Dangerous Relationship of Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a tale as old as time; everyone loves a story of forbidden love. However, everyone should not love how little Romeo and Juliet value themselves individually. This toxic overreliance on another human being is not the foundation that love should be built on, Will.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

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.

Barbie Is Not A Masterpiece
In a world where blockbusters based on toys or other shiny pre-existing IPs rule the Cinelux, Barbie never takes itself seriously and even laughs and winks when it does. No Oscar bait here, but chances are the gold could have a pink lining this year, Thanks to Ms. America (Ferrera).

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog
A glimpse into the surreal. Caspar David Friedrich’s Romantic painting, “Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog”, explores the immensity of nature and our place within it. A lone man faces this power, letting it surround him. He experiences the surreal by standing in the middle of nature’s endless grasp.

The New Human Resources
Netflix is a streaming service that provides its customers with an abundance of original content. Under the "adult animation" tab is a show: Human Resources. Once you get past the grossness, the situations are relatable. The first few episodes touch on post-partum depression, infidelity and alcoholism. Worth a watch...18+

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "The Phantom Apprentice"
The second, and best, episode of the final arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars features a thrilling, emotional showdown between two former apprentices, Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul, and serves as a sobering reminder that sometimes, the hardest thing to face is the truth about the ones we love.

Rap
Where did you learn to write poetry? I read a lot of poetry. That's true. More often, I listened to rap. While I like most music, rap will always be one of my favorite genres. It has taught me more than rhythm and rhyme. It’s taught me about the world.

Harry Potter: A prism
Harry Potter is not a novel but a prism. The reader will see the wavelengths of their deepest joys, sorrows and fears in its spectrum.

ONLY BAD THINGS HAPPEN IN CORN FIELDS
Should come with a trauma warning. Ten years after reading it, I still look at cornfields with the violent suspicious that pedophiles and murders are lurking amongst their eerie stalks.
