Review
This CD has real heart and soul given to it.  The rhythms are fantastic, There is a lot of good electric guitar parts, and also some really great vocals.  The album seems to tell a story, which is also a thing that I look for in a CD.  The album also seems to have a very consistent sound, which is something that every band should have

One thing that I love to see in Rock music is trying not to scream the entire time.  This album only has two Verses that are all screaming, but I could overlook that because the rest of the album is fantastic.  I love the fact that I can hear and understand all the words.  The few songs that do have the screams have a reason for it.  Some may say that the screams add to the overall story.   The Playlist on Spotify is going to be getting an update pretty soon.

 Overall I really enjoy this CD so I will give this CD a 5 out of 5.

Not this year

Up late tonight, as the move-in day at Warner just ended and orientation is just beginning.  The kids are up and been in school for almost a week now, all over the US. The thought comes into my head, twisted as it may be: I wonder how many shootings will occur.  Disturbed, I turn my back on that thought tonight.   Not This Year . Call me naive, or a careless optimist.  Keep dreaming they tell me.  In my head, not this year rings out, like a school bell. I refuse to swallow this thought.  Not this year.  Not this year.  Not this year. The process kicks on inside of my mind.  How can this happen?  First, the thought of teachers and peers being intentional in reaching out to those kids who are lonely, and in need of some love.  Instead of putting a fellow student down, the other students reaching out to them could make a difference.  Teachers, being approachable could also boost students confidence.    How?...

Pack Mentality: Season 2 Part 9

"I do not know.  I truly do not know."  Then an elongated silence followed ended by some rustling of the bushes by where they were.   Rick raced to the truck and grabbed his rifle and flashlight, and tossed Jackson's crossbow to him.  The two of them waited in anticipation for what was to come hoping that it was one of their wolves.  Then Ash came exploding through the bushes. _______________________________ "Thank God!" Rick erupted as he put his rifle down lightly because it was still loaded. "Don't let out a sigh of relief just yet." Ash panted, "Bramble and I might have found something, but we need to hurry.  We caught a strong scent, so whatever it was, may still be there.  Let's go!" Rick set out four reflectors around the campsite, and jumped into the driver's seat, while Jackson went into the passenger seat. The group took off, Ash leading the way at a steady jog while Rick and Jackson kept a safe distance.  Rick ...

New Year New Me - Blog Goals

By -
As the ball dropped in NYC on December 31, I started to think of some ways to make both myself, and this blog better, and set this blog apart from other blogs.  Granted this is going to be hard so I started to do some brainstorming.  As I started to brainstorm, I came up with several ideas, but a lot of them are going to be really hard to achieve, especially on a students' budget.  I am going to star the ideas that I feel are more of a 3-year plan. After the initial list, I am going to break down each one for you all.  Be more approachable especially when I am going to different places. Stay up to date with my posts.  Post more about stuff that I am going through. Summer Series* Do some Vlogs on either Periscope, Youtube, or Facebook* Be more approachable especially when I am going to different places. Some of you who have been reading this blog know that I have been to several different places.  These places Range from local-ish places to Europe...
