The Unseen Fight
In the heart of the city, two rival musicians are about to face off in a competition of their lives. The city of Eastwood had always been a place where talent collided with opportunity, but nothing ever captured the public’s attention quite like the annual "Beat Battle." It was a competition that drew aspiring musicians from all corners of the city, where the winner earned a contract with one of the most prestigious record labels in the country. This year, the battle had two competitors who were destined to change the game forever: Jayden and Mia.

KENDRICK LAMAR AND THE LAST BASTION OF AMERICAN ARTISTRY . Content Warning.
It was never going to be a fair fight. The moment Kendrick Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl halftime act, the battlefield was already soaked in gasoline, waiting for a single spark. And oh, what a glorious, roaring blaze it was.

I Tried to Make Money by Virtual Assisting for 20 Days
I wasn’t an expert in small business, but I had skills like answering customer service emails, doing simple graphic design in Canva, and general admin work. I knew I could learn what I didn’t know. So, I took action fast. The very next day, I ordered business cards, set up a website, and attended a local networking event.

Descent
I am naught but a passenger on this train. The trains arrive, and then they depart. The sun rises, and it sets.

“Make Happy” - My Thoughts 💭 . Content Warning.
This is a previously unpublished review from 2018. “Make Happy” (2016) is Bo Burnham's comedy special streaming on Netflix. After recently seeing the humorous doco-style drama "Eighth Grade" (2018) which he both wrote and directed, I found out that Bo Burnham is also a stand-up comic/musician. "Make Happy" is by turns darkly jovial and intellectual & existential, yet certainly not for all tastes.

Only Fans Are Finally Dead

The Ghoul Brothers
"Welcome to the disgusting world of...The Ghoul Brothers!" The Ghoul Brothers (1984) I first discovered The Ghoul Brothers in the advertisement section of Fangoria. Or maybe it was Gorezone. It was one of those Eighties newsstand horror and gore magazines.

Marconi Plays the Mamba
The Eighties were a paradisical time of lemonade rivers and cotton candy clouds, where everyone had joy and a high fashion sense: hair was big, and women wore lots of makeup, huge earrings, and blouses with shoulder pads. We all ate delicious McDonald's three meals a day, and movie theater popcorn was covered in a buttery substance equivalent to slamming fourteen Big Macs. Eye shadow, lipstick, rouge, Cyndi Lauper hair, and Debbie Gibson eyes were the cultural touchstones that kept Commieland in relative check. (Well, that, and our nuclear arsenal.)
