The Deepest Cuts
The deepest cuts of my writing often emerge in the latest hours of the night. When they do, the inspiration slowly fades as dawn approaches. If this phase of inspired prose is left to wane without expression, it’s lost forever. So, to force rest when there is none seemingly to be had is pointless, especially […]
Dry Mouth Musings
My muses were once models of perfection I could never hope to attain. But, of course, they were only as I wished to perceive them and not truly as they were. They weren’t so much objects of my own romantic desire, but rather various aspects of the object of desire I longed to be. Now, […]
I Never Thought Myself a Poet, But I Certainly Am Now!
There wasn’t one particular moment when I decided to become a poet. About the time I was leaving junior high, I decided to try writing some lyrics. But, as they’ve never been put to music, outside of the occasional ditty in my head, they became mere poetry. Some people say that I do well at […]

Why Do We Care That Kendall Jenner is Dating Devin Booker?
While I’ve certainly written celebrity themed content in the past, long ago, I promised myself that I would never stoop to writing celebrity content for the sake of being trendy. That is, at least as it pertained to celebrities that I didn’t actually care about. But, as a longtime blogger who long kept abreast of […]
Why Katy Perry’s Electric Pokemon 25 Collab Song Was a Shock to My System
Full disclosure: this isn’t the first article I’ve penned regarding a Katy Perry song and it certainly won’t be the last. What’s remarkable about this particular song, however, is something rather unique for me when it comes to breaking down what I felt made a song great for me. On the contrary, I don’t feel […]
