Where We At?
The snow has finished falling for the day. The night grows longer, but the glow of the porch lights reflecting off the snow keeps the complex aglow. Driveways and roads are plowed, some cars remain covered, and a stillness rests in the air. Despite my best efforts, today was productive. And now that I sit…

Sheet Music
It’s hard for me to conjure up writing inspiration out of thin air. Every once in a blue moon, a creative burst will strike out of nowhere, but for the most part, I need assistance. This can come from a number of sources, but a big one for me is music. Often, when people talk…

Hiding Away From It All
This piece is brought to you by Earl Sweatshirt’s 2015 album, I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Hello, pallies. As of late, I have been in an…odd mood.

Dark Humor or Just Offensive?
I know I said I wouldn’t do article-type stuff or “think pieces” anymore, but guess what? I’m a liar. Absolutely pathological. HOWEVER!!! I don’t consider it lying this time. I know, I know, why did I admit to being a liar then? Well, because I trust you guys and think it’s important to share who…
