I Used to Know Right from Wrong
I used to know right from wrong, Then I heard too many songs. I think it changed my mind, Or maybe it went blind? Where do my thoughts even belong?

The Promised Land
Shall I try to describe my Home? * The most wondrous place I can be, Unmatched by all from sea to sea. Not even galaxies compare,

Shooting the Bull
Winter came. It came out of nowhere. Yeah, it started gradually getting cold, but yesterday was sunny and kinda warm. Pure white snow floating down from the sky and now there is white everywhere. I basically live in the city, but I leave during the winter. And I know that white snow is going to start looking like shit soon. Where does the snow come from? I’m not too sure, but I’m sure I hate winter. Everything is frozen and it’s fucking cold.

Logging into the Sea
I found another clue about another cultist, The Octopus. This one patrols the Sea of Crete between Thera and Messara, which is perfect, since I planned to visit Messara to see if the legends are true about the half-man and half-bull creature known as the Minotaur.

Holy Shit!
I went to church all the time when I was growing up. My mother was a pastor, so my sisters and I didn’t have a choice, and when there were church retreats or missions trips, we were forced to attend. During the summer of my sophomore year, our church decided to spread the Gospel and help children in poverty in Washington D.C. Not much of a missions trip, since we lived in Northern Virginia and we were about 40 minutes away, but this time we didn’t have the funds to travel abroad.

The Perfect Date
I hate it when my friends take advantage of me when I’m drunk. I don’t know why I agreed to go on this date when they didn’t tell me anything about her. I must’ve been desperate. Although, it didn’t feel that way. Now I was led by some stranger who knew my name, and I had to hold on to his shoulders as he led me to my doom, since my friends blindfolded me on the car ride here and told me to keep it on.

A Tale of Two Kitties
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... There was a boy with a strong jaw who loved animals. It was unfortunate that this boy couldn’t experience the loving companionship of animals because of his mother. When he was 10, his family moved to a small house in Northern Virginia, and there was a cat that would always appear in their backyard. She was a beautiful cat with long gray hair and white paws. His sisters named her Whitesocks. The boy and his two sisters took care of the cat by leaving food and water in the backyard. On the occasion when their mother wasn’t home, they would bring Whitesocks inside. Sometimes they would even sneak Whitesocks inside when their mother was home and bring her to the basement since their mother never went down there.

Musical Therapy to Reach Zen
We are all unique. We’re vastly different from our parents and siblings — our own kin. Various genetic and environmental factors come into play when shaping us which leads all of us to different interests and different ways to cope with the human condition. Music is a powerful gift that can revive our human spirit to help us through the hardships of life and bring us to Zen.

What our Inner Child Wants to Watch
You know what everyone needs right now in this chaotic world? A stroll through memory lane to remember our cherished childhood memories, to hopefully develop those forgotten muscles on our faces, to produce a simple smile. If you’re still young and haven’t been dumped on by life yet, you should still do this exercise (easy reading), since you’re going to regret growing up and wish you’re Peter Pan, but staying young forever only happens in Neverland. And if I’m like you, then you grew up watching Disney movies with your family and friends (or by yourself). If you didn’t then you need to have a talk with your parents because you’ve been robbed of classic animated masterpieces that shaped the world. With that said, I thought it’d be best to recall some classic Disney movies that have defined the childhood of many people, and recommend new ‘adult films’ (no, not porn… Pirates), so that there’s always an intimate relationship between them, and when we start to play ‘adult’ and do ‘adult’ things like watch ‘adult films’ (again, not porn you pervert! Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge!), our minds will automatically take that stroll through memory lane and make us smile.

The Origins of the Christian Holydays: The Birth of Christ
Ah, the holydays! A time to gather with our family and friends to be merry and share laughs. A time to revel in our drunkenness and stupidity to be emancipated from the worries of life. A time to celebrate ancient rituals of origins which we’ve learned from our parents, and our parents from theirs and so on and so on and so on and so on, and not thinking (or caring) that the passage of time has dramatically changed the way we now celebrate our holidays. Honestly, all that matters is that school and work is out, and we have an excuse to get drunk and then crunk. Yes, bring on the holidays!
