Writing heavy storylines

Oh boy. I’m not going to lie, I struggled a lot with this chapter. Not because I can’t deal with this darker content, but I really wanted it to be written in a way that felt very human. I’ve seen a lot of anime that have slavery as a plot point - almost all of … Continue reading Writing heavy storylines →

8 Years as a mailman

When I first started working at the mail, almost 8 years ago, I had no real direction in life. I had just finished my business economics degree and although those two years were a lot of fun (I mainly played Hearthstone in class instead of paying attention) I had only learned one thing throughout the … Continue reading 8 Years as a mailman →

I read a Stephen King book

After all these years I finally sat down again and read a book by Stephen King. I remember reading his story The Long Walk as a child and being absolutely horrified by the concept of it. For those who haven’t read it, it’s a story about a marathon where the winner wins an amazing prize … Continue reading I read a Stephen King book →

Busy Week

Man, it has been one hell of a week. I try to avoid doing regular update videos too often since they’re probably not very interesting to most of my readers. But since this blog is about me and my life, I think sometimes I can just take a step back and talk about this stuff. … Continue reading Busy Week →

Your regularly scheduled schedule changes

Whenever May rolls around I’m always reminded of Justin Timberlake’s pronunciation of ‘me’ in the song ‘it’s gonna be me’. It’s so over the top that even Blink182 should probably take notes. But it’s also the time of the year where change is in the air. The rain and dark clouds disappear and it’s time … Continue reading Your regularly scheduled schedule changes →

Tsukumogami

Yesterday I talked about the anime Mononogatari. The subject of this anime is the complicated relationship between humans and Tsukumogami. These latter are spirits that live in the tools we treasure a lot. In this anime, these tools come to life and a lot of them turn out to be pretty good at violence. It’s … Continue reading Tsukumogami →

Spring is in the air

Can you believe it’s already April? It feels like the year has only just started but we’ll soon be one-third done with it. It’s always like this, time doesn’t quite work the way you expect it to. I’ve been doing a lot better with my health lately. I did get the flu recently, which was … Continue reading Spring is in the air →

Kintsugi

I’ve spent ten years, ten years in a bitter chemical haze. That’s the chorus of Fall Out Boy’s “The Kintsugi Kid”.I’ve had the topic of Kintsugi in my back pocket for a while now and I’ve even written up a draft or two over the past few months only to ultimately decide there wasn’t much … Continue reading Kintsugi →

So Much (For) Stardust

I’ve never done an album review before. I’ve talked about a few albums on this blog before, but I don’t have a lot of musical knowledge. Half the time I like a track and go to find out music critics’ opinions on it only to find out that they think it’s a bad song. So … Continue reading So Much (For) Stardust →

I’ll tell you what you don’t see

I started being interested in stories when I was quite young. I vividly remember sitting at a birthday party for my aunt and uncle. They celebrated it in some sort of inn. I say inn and not restaurant because the way it was built and tabled was very rustic - as they say - and … Continue reading I’ll tell you what you don’t see →
