Inspiration
Once in a while I just get hit with inspiration. Today was one of those days. Throughout the many jumbled thoughts in my mind I was a hit with a poetry subject. I wanted to express my thoughts about attraction and express my own experience that I’m dealing with in my own personal life. It’s…
The key to good fan fiction
So I just started watching the Netflix original series “Stranger Things” and one of my favorite parts about the story is the relationship/friendship between Nancy and Jonathan. I’m a sucker for a potential love story within a story. Some would consider that a subplot. I’m so into these two characters and their potential to develop…
The best of 50s music
In terms of music I would have to say that 50s is one of the best decades in music. I’m only 25 years old but I have an appreciation for the oldies and I actually have 50s rock and roll as one of my stations on Pandora. Musicians like Bobby Darin, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong,…
Poe’s Influence
Just the other day me and my family were talking about Edgar Allan Poe. Me and my dad were both saying how “The Tell-Tale Heart” is our favorite story by Poe. I absolutely love Poe. I have one big, thick book of all of his collected short stories and poems and Tell -Tale Heart will…
Writing poetry
I started really writing poetry in college. I had a poem that I had written in college that I submitted to my college’s literary magazine and it got published. I didn’t really think too much of it until one of my professor’s really encourage me to continue writing because my poem was deep and also…
A Dream Deferred
“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore– And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over– like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?”~Langston Hughes *This is one…
Music and Art
Art is beautiful and music is wonderful but combined they can be dynamic. I live in Goldsboro, NC and on the surface Goldsboro doesn’t seem like a thriving artistic city, but I have recently learned that there is more to Goldsboro than meets the artistic eye. The Arts Council of Wayne County is at the…
Intellectual Stimulation
Have you ever been enthralled by intellectual conversation or maybe a show that challenges your brain and knowledge? I love those types of atmospheres. I was just watching Jeopardy and I’ve always put that show on a higher level than say Wheel of Fortune because Jeopardy challenges my knowledge and I like to assess how…
Skeleton Clique
How can I explain this? The Skeleton Clique is the die hard fans and Twenty One Pilots is the band. For people who haven’t heard about the band Twenty One Pilots or know very little about them they are out of this world amazing to me. I started paying attention to the band when “Stressed…
Hooray for Fences
Applause all around for this movie! Amazing performances from an all-star cast, which included Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, and Mykelti Williamson. Not only that but the dialogue was phenomenal. This is a movie that focused much more on the message and delivery on the words being spoken than on the action of the movie. I…
