I'm Not Acting as Much as I Would Love to Right Now
I haven't been acting since 2017 and to be honest, it feels like it's been a long time. All I've been doing is writing and trying to get my life together which is good since I finished school, now but I realize how much of a change it's been for me starting with the year of 2013.

10 Songs That Get Me Emotional
Music gets me in a lot of feelings. I can have the worst day and all I have to do is put on some songs to get me dancing or walking in a good mood. The same goes for the other way around, I can have the best day of my life and something can cause me to have a bad day off so I listen to music reflecting what I'm feeling. These 10 songs in no particular order gets me emotional and it usually depends because sometimes I can understand the lyrics, but I can also focus on the way it sounds, so some songs may not be emotional to whoever reads this but maybe they share how I feel as well.

U.K. Babes
When I was 12, I was in junior high talking to some friends about going to London as a vacation when we got older and we talked about going to see Big Ben, Parliament, go on the buses, check out the train stations, and even see their famous Ferris wheel but one thing that was never mentioned was how gorgeous the women were.

A Minor Man
He's sitting in a booth at a diner. He's wearing a black t-shirt with blue jeans and a pair of black Converse. The waitress approaches him with a pot of coffee and asks, "More coffee for you, darlin'?" The man nods and smiles. He nudges his cup to her. She pours some coffee for him. The man says, "Thank you, beautiful," as he winks at her while she leaves his booth.

The Phone Call
It's 1 AM, Jett wakes up from what seems like the best sleep he's ever had in the last five years. He gets out of bed, his room has been cleaned out for weeks. The only things he has left is a suitcase full of clothes, a toothbrush, an electric razor with aftershave lotion, and some cotton balls with a backpack full of snacks for the road. The drinks are in the car already. They consist of cans of Arizona, Mountain Dew Kickstarts, and some water. He goes to his window to look at his car, a red 1972 Chevy Chevelle SS with racing stripes on it and named it Kelly since he always loved Saved by the Bell.

'Ready Player One' Takes You on a Nostalgic Adventure
Damn! What can I say about Ready Player One? Honestly, the real question should be what more can't I say?! This movie is so good, it's easily one of my favorites this year. It's definitely in my top-five of this year, that's for sure. It's filled with so many things I remember from my childhood, from my parents' childhood that they passed on to me, and even some things that's been around since at least the 30s or 40s.

Why I Don't Watch Horror Movies
I never understood why people loved being scared or at least why some of my family members did. It's one thing for me to watch a movie with horror elements, but I can't watch horror movies like some of my family members and friends can; of course, I got made fun of for not liking them so, in a way, this is me saying why I can't really get into them.

Being Smooth and Cool Through Music Was Amazing
Music is amazing, isn't it? You can experience so many emotions and moments with music, it's pretty crazy because there is a lot of music when you experience moments like when you like someone, a song may remind you of them or if you're in a good mood, your favorite song can come on and it can make you dance. I've had moments like those too but there are a select few moments that I can barely remember, however, these kind of moments are starting to stick a little.

Character Spotlight: John Constantine
I grew up with a mother who was into going to church so we couldn't watch The Exorcist or anything like that, but, during the summer of 2005, I woke up one morning and saw that my parents went to Hollywood Video because anytime they go to buy movies, they usually end up on the floor, but, if they rent, they leave rented movies on top of the TV. Anyway, they bought a few movies but rented one, Constantine with Keanu Reeves, and I wanted to watch it, but I had summer school.

Why Feelings Drag Me Down Lately
Ever since I was 18, I should've known how complicated dating was going to be. It just got more complicated as the years went by, I wish I caught on to it earlier while I was in high school because every other time I look back on it, I realize how much I was knee deep in my fairy tale phase since I was all into those high school movies where the guy gets the girl by the end except I had no idea how it was nothing like that plus the more I end up catch feelings, the more cynical I got towards the idea of someone actually liking me back.

Superheroes and Their Roles in My Life
Saturday mornings were always a special time for me. My dad had me watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series and I don't remember much of the show but the theme song stuck with me for a long time, I still remember it. He also had me watch the animated series to X-Men and I'm pretty sure he got me into Batman: The Animated Series too but I know for a fact that he got me into Batman Beyond and Dragon Ball Z. Also, my mom surprisingly got me into the Batman movies with Michael Keaton (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Beetlejuice), Val Kilmer (Top Gun, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), and even George Clooney (Gravity, O Brother, Where Art Thou?). I love my mom but damn it, I have no idea why I was so into Batman & Robin but then, I went to live with my dad for a year while I was nine, he got me into Hulk although, I didn't know more about him until The Incredible Hulk came out.
