The Peaks of Faith and Death: The Alps
Mountain ranges have historically been important locations strategically and spiritually. They offer protection to civilizations or settlements from attack by creating large barriers, and they inspire great myths and legends, due to their looming and mysterious natures. These traits, and their consequences, are extremely evident in the Alpine mountain range. The Alps have a deep history of cravings for glory and supernatural experiences.

There's a Whole 'Lotta Rhythm Goin' 'Round (part 2)
There is a lot of things that I have to say about Los Angeles that hasn't been said in a long time. We have to recognize the impact on how minorities (people of African, Latino, and Asian descent) have contributed to the founding of the city. Past and present contributions can be found on Olivera Street, Chinatown, the foregone history of Central Ave. of the 1910's to early 1960's in Los Angeles. These and other "lost" Los Angeles stories need to be shared and told to future generations, especially in this "woke" age.

There’s A Whole Lotta Rhythm Goin’ ‘Round (part 1)
I’m looking into a lot of nostalgia lately. What would‘ve happened if I wasn’t born in Los Angeles or led the life I had up to this point? The more you think about it, the more you tend to realize that you are supposed to be where you are. Your presence does make a difference. I’m glad to have lived where I grew up because no other location would have suited me. This story is a dedication to where I live-my hometown neighborhood at its adjoining ‘hood in Los Angeles-Hyde Park and Windsor Hills.

Titanic's Sister: A Dark Secret? PART ONE
Prologue The sinking of the passenger ship Titanic is one of the most tragic and famous stories of all time. Her story is known all over the world, thanks to how well documented it is. From books, film, websites, social media, video games and music. But with any disaster, as long as there are unanswered questions, research will continue. While research continues, newer evidence will always be uncovered, and sometimes evidence that may pull us away from the accepted story as we have been told. Newer evidence has been uncovered regarding the Titanic, that may point us towards a horrifying new reality. A reality in which the ship that fell two and a half miles to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, was NOT the Titanic, but her sister ship Olympic, and that the disaster was not a pure, simple accident, but something very sinister. With evidence on both sides, we are left with a chilling question, which of the two ships rests on the ocean floor today?

Titanic's Sister: A Dark Secret? PART TWO
...CONTINUED FROM PART ONE Coal Strike/Crew Refusing To Sail On Titanic's Maiden Voyage/Coal Fire It should be noted that at the time of the maiden voyage of the Titanic, Britain was in the middle of a heavy coal strike thanks to coal miners fighting for minimum wage. Thanks to no coal being mined, train and shipping schedules were dramatically hindered and hundreds of ships were laid up. Due to how desperate White Star Line were to get Titanic's maiden voyage underway, there was only enough coal for her thanks to old coal from other ships being cannibalised of it. Thanks to the coal strike, many of Titanic's passengers were transferred from other ships to her. One such passenger was Millvina Dean and her family, Millvina would become the last living survivor of the Titanic before her death on May 31st 2009, exactly 98 years to the day Titanic was launched.
