It’s December 26, 2023, AKA Boxing day. The big Christmas celebration is over and the new year is right around the corner. I wish that I could say 2024 is going to be a fresh start. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of hope for what is coming. About 5 weeks ago, I was sitting … Continue reading »

Meet Donna: The Voice of Criticism

If I have learned one thing over the years, it’s that somehow writing things out does help. If you go back through the history of posts on this blog, you’ll find many long rants of mine where I just vent out whatever happens to be on my mind at the time. I talk about my … Continue reading »

The Power of Music, Part II – Emotion

In August of last year I wrote an article about how music has influenced me throughout my life. Tonight, after watching a bunch of live shows from Faith No More on YouTube, I thought I’d continue the discussion on music.
