What I Read

  • To The Men That Buy Sex

    This was interesting not because it brought a different perspective or helped us to understand patrons of prostitutes. It was because I learned that someone praising another to the highest of heavens doesn't mean that what they say about that person is true. It's true to them, but not necessarily the same for the rest of the general population. If you really want to read something from the same author, read this article about crossdressing comedians instead. It's a better use of your time.

I got tired of keeping this in my drafts, so here's me musing about fear and change.

You've probably heard of the title of this post, and if you haven't, does the sentence below ring a bell?

Even if you are not ready for day, it cannot always be night.

What I Listened To

Picture of no na

  • shoot, no na
  • Replay, Cynthia Erivo
  • TiFFANY, iDK featuring Gunna I especially love it because I heard it first when a marching band played this song, and their rendition was so nice I went to find the original song, and then I fell in love with the song.
  • Hold Them Down, Jorge Rivera-Herrans After many recommendations, I've finally given and listened to some of the EPIC musical songs and this song was what really got me interested in the whole thing.
  • LEGOLAS, ODUMODUBLVCK Odumodu basically rehashed DOG EAT DOG II. I don't mind though, and I'm looking forward to the album.

    • Babel, R.F Kuang. Did not go beyond Chapter Eight. The book was too long and kept repeating itself.
    • The Eight of Swords, John Dickson Carr
    • Before I Let Go, Kennedy Ryan
      • The author deals well with themes of grief and mental health in the Black community. My only complaint is the amount of time the female and male leads spent jumping on each other and why the author couldn't just keep the smut at one page or less.
    • Good Coffee, Great Coffee: After two tries in February when it launched and earlier in the month, I was finally able to install and play it. Was it worth the wait? I'd say so.
    • Gulder Ultimate Search 12. Still haven't finished, but I'm halfway though and it's great.

    I’ve always loved telling stories, as far back as I can remember being alive. I’ve also never finished anything longer than a short story, but that’s another story for maybe never. I never thought writing could take me anywhere besides being an author, because that's what writers do; they publish books and anthologies.
