    Week 24.

    Dear Friend, I’ve spent a lot of time in bookstores and libraries this past week and I’ve had some time to reflect. My thesis: Young readers can understand and comprehend big ideas but in conveying said ideas, they are not quite as eloquent. This isn’t a shocker to most of my more mature and/or older…

    Every Song I Like By Twenty One Pilots – Blurryface, TOPxMM and MORE!

    Dear Friend, the mainstream success for TOP means one thing, overplayed-ness. I however freaking love this album. In all I’m gonna talk about a few albums this post. I’ve been busy listening just not as busy posting. These albums include Spotify Sessions, Blurryface and then the EP TOPxMM and singles Heathens and Cancer. Spotify Sessions…

    Week 23.

    ~I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately, like is any of this for real or not~ Dear Friend. I have been losing time. Gaps in my memory, entire days gone by with no recollection of how the day transpired. I have at least two days and several nights that I have lost time across for…

    Week 22.

    Dear Friend. It’s been a busy week and it continues to grow. As I hope you’ve noticed I have begun posting to the Instagram account and have started a new series. I hope to have it finished before Thanksgiving but time will tell at this point. I want to give an update to what I’ve…

    Every Song I Like by Twenty One Pilots – Vessel (AND COMMENTARY!)

    Dear Friend, although this is the group’s third commercial album. I will be skipping the second for now for the time being and circling back to it. Mostly because I’m listening on Spotify but mainly because Vessel contains most of the album that I am skipping (Regional at Best). Again I will go back to…

    Week 21. Super Power #1: Predicting Needs

    Dear Friend, this week I wish to speak on one of my super powers. Have you ever wanted something but don’t know that you want it? Have you ever wanted something and know you wanted it but can’t say it? Have you ever struggled to say something, to find the right word? Have you ever…

    Week 20.

    Dear Friend, I had a great weekend bookended with a cold. Let’s talk about it. I watched One Battle After Another for a second time with a dear friend. It was a small but meaningful time, I hope to share more in the near future with said friend. The following day was my anniversary, one…

    Week 19.

    Dear Friend, to vent my frustrations I’m adding a running counter to my weekly updates. Thing’s that I am right about but will not be admitting out loud. Besides those minor inconveniences I’ve had a great time writing these past two weeks. It’s been especially rainy here and I even managed two-thousand words in an…

    Week 18. Still Not Over It

    Dear Friend, this is coming from the heart and from hatred, perhaps a little moody and emo but very cathartic. The things I want to say to you: Good Luck and Go Fuck Yourself We all have dark times I know, but you started it. After I repeatedly asked you what was bothering you. You…
