When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?

Dear Copycat, Thank you for the compliment. I really needed that. But could you try something on your own? It’s Wilde to see my work imitated. I’m not the greatest. But I really hate this when I see it. Please be more creative.

A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

What do you do when you don’t have the money to travel? You get a window, that's what you do. Sometimes you buy the window. But when you can't, you borrow it from the library. That’s what National Geographic was for me as a child. The window of my dreams.

Perhaps I am ignorant of how modern art works. Or just perhaps not interpreting the work of Andy Warhol correctly. But I have never understood why his painting of soup cans was so significant. And I am sure the person that created the designs for Campbells was no more impressed.

Did Rage Against the Machine own a time machine in the 1990s? I’m not saying they did, but it’s sometimes too hard to listen to their 1998 single, No Shelter, and wonder if they hadn’t just arrived back from the 2020s. Prolific lyrics or time travel. Guess we’ll never know.

Do you like sci-fi? Do you like archaeology? What about Egyptology and little ancient aliens? You know, before it became popular. That is what we got in the 1994 classic, Stargate. Starring James Spader and Kurt Rusell, this cinematic epic launched one of the best sci-fi franchises of the 90s.

In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

In the lead-up to the 2024 Republican Primary, the political landscape was ablaze with anticipation. The party stood at a crucial crossroads, grappling with its ideological identity as it faced a diverse field of candidates vying for the nomination.

Let’s be honest, X-Men: The Animated Series made the Marvel Cinematic Universe what it is. If this show didn’t exist, they’re would have been far less hype over the X-Men movie in 2000. This show was amazing from the theme song, to every plot line. We love and miss it.
