It's Gonna be a Long Arctic Night
[This song is essentially the theme of the chapter story I'm writing. We hear Alyx sing a small portion of this in the tavern in chapter 3 where the splooshers gather during their time off for some nourishment in ale, vittles, company & song. They've been carried off into this arctic wasteland as lives that do not matter to the powers that be to mine the ancient ice in order to provide safe water for those same powers after most of the world's water supplies have been contaminated. Between their mining, resting, sleeping, & questing out on the frozen bay, these words they sing bind them together in an unlikely hope & an impossible dream.]

Madman or Martyr of the Stars? Kanye’s Desire Path Hidden in His Birth Chart
Few celebrities spark as much debate as Kanye West. Lauded as a musical visionary and cultural icon, yet frequently criticized for erratic behavior and polarizing statements, Kanye—now legally known as Ye—is the epitome of artistic contradiction. In recent years, his controversies have ranged from political outbursts to family disputes and even uncomfortable revelations involving betrayal within his inner circle.

My Top 10 Favorite Ren Songs
My Top 10 Favorite Ren Songs Ren is more than just an artist to me, he’s a voice for the voiceless, a storyteller for the broken, and a mirror for the misunderstood. His music doesn't just sound good, it feels true. Every track he puts out is raw, honest, and deeply human. Picking just ten was hard, and picking only 5 was impossible for me, but these are my personal favorites.

💔 He Texted Me After His Funeral – And Changed My Life Forever. AI-Generated.
I never believed in ghosts. Or fate. Or messages from the other side. Until he texted me. It was a Tuesday. Three days after Daniel’s funeral. I remember the date — I always will — because it felt like the universe had split into before and after. The world moved on as if nothing happened, but mine stood still, suspended in silence and sorrow.

All About ThroneRoom’s Worship Event, “Saints”.
Even though I was far away in the UK, I felt like I was right there in Makurdi, Nigeria this afternoon, as I livestreamed ThroneRoom’s worship event, “Saints,” held at the Good News Chapel in Benue State University. The university, located in the heart of Benue State, was the perfect backdrop for what turned out to be a deeply moving, spirit-filled celebration of Easter, community, and Jesus.

How Learning to Play Drums Changed My Life
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." - C.S. Lewis When I was 26 years old, I mustered up the courage to go to the local music store and ask about drumming. At that age, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted out of life. I was married, living a life I had built for myself for six years, but it always felt like there was something missing. To this day, I don’t know what inspired me to be so brave and walk through those doors on that day, but it is a day I will never forget for the rest of my life, because that is the day that changed my life.

To the beat of my ADHD
For those of you who experience ADHD or another form of neurodivergence, you might understand the ups and downs that come with the perception and experience of your diagnosis - sometimes overwhelming, feeling like a victim of your own brain, other times appreciative of the originality with which it spices up your life.
