Do you know what it’s like when everything is heavy? When you can feel that pit open up inside of you? When it gnaws and consumes and opens up all those vulnerable parts you try to hide away. All those parts you bury so that you don’t have to be hurt.
(A weird nightmare I had a few nights back.)
I recently saw the new CGI (not live action, as some sources have said) remake of Disney’s The Lion King and the animation was amazing. The movie itself didn’t stray from the original cartoon; for the most part it was a shot for shot remake of the cartoon. But it’s the animation that I can’t even …
Last week the trailer for Cats the musical was released on Youtube and brought quite a lot of horrifying reactions with it. The decision to make the actors look more realistically like cats with CGI technology is a weird and terrifying one considering they could have easily gone with the tights and make-up that regular productions use, but …
I don’t remember exactly where I heard it except that it was on T.V.. Two characters were shopping on whatever show I was watching and one character said to the other “get the black one, black is slimming.” I was maybe ten or twelve when I saw this and it was when I started becoming …
Well there was a time where I would post one of these every couple of months because I couldn’t think of anything to write about, so I’m at least happy that I’ve found other topics to keep this blog more interesting than the boring things I’ve been up to. But alas, I couldn’t think of …

Sometimes the things you read about online happen to you in real life. You can deny that these things will ever happen, read the articles with a chuckle and move on about your day, but perhaps these articles are more than just stories to read on your lunch break or while waiting in line to …
I’ve mentioned before about how I’ve newly come to enjoy the horror genre, though that hasn’t really crossed over to movies. The music cues and jump scares just get to me and make the whole experience stressful and scary, which I guess means the filmmakers have done a good job. And that of course is …
A few weeks ago I got onto the topic of children with someone. After talking about their kids for a bit they asked me if I had any kids to which I laughed (too loudly) and said no over and over again. The person said I had a pretty extreme reaction and the first thing …
