I made you a mix tape.
A playlist of random music.
Songs which are meant to help explain how I feel.
Lyrics about you and what could be.
Words about what was and what makes me… well me.
All types of music from hip hop to country. Different artists that speak my truth for me.
A deeply personal look into my music taste, and if you listen carefully it’s as though you are reading my book.
Some songs are a bit sad but after all life isn’t always rad.
Not every song will be your cup of tea but still I ask you to listen to understand.
Some sounds may fill you with passion, others will make you dance.
All of them were chosen, carefully crafted in order, and meaning.
In the end it may not be you and me.
But the songs of this mix tape will always be.

Have you ever wondered why North Korea is always threatening to start a war?
First up, we've got Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, who's always talking about nuking this and attacking that. But why? Is he just a madman with a finger on the big red button? 🤔💣 Turns out, this whole "threaten war" thing is a family tradition. Kim's dad, Kim Jong Il, came up with the "military first" policy to make North Koreans think their poverty was a necessary sacrifice to protect them from the big bad world. 💸🪖 So, Kim Jong Un is basically using the same playbook. He's like, "Hey, forget about the fact that you're starving and I'm living it up in my fancy palace. We need to focus on the real enemy: everyone else!" 😡🏰 Plus, nothing says "I'm a tough guy" like testing some nukes and making the world pee their pants a little. Kim Jong Un's got to show his generals and politicians that he means business. 💪💥 But here's the thing: even Kim's buddies, China and Russia, aren't too keen on a full-blown nuclear war. So, he's got to be careful not to push things too far, or he might lose his only friends. 🇨🇳🇷🇺 Some smart people think the way to deal with North Korea is to give them a little smack on the wrist, like a targeted military strike or some sneaky information warfare. But that's like poking a bear with a nuke - it could get ugly fast. 🐻💣 Others are like, "Chill out, everyone. North Korea's been making empty threats for years, and we're still here." They say the U.S. and South Korea are ready to rumble if things get real. 💪🇺🇸🇰🇷 Lately, it seems like North Korea might be more interested in making money than making war. But who knows? Kim Jong Un is about as predictable as a cat on catnip. 🐱🌿 One thing that's got everyone a little nervous is North Korea getting their hands on some fancy new weapons from Russia. It's like giving a toddler a loaded gun - sure, they might not shoot it on purpose, but accidents happen. 👶🔫 At the end of the day, we've all got to hope that everyone keeps their cool and that North Korea's threats stay just that - threats. Because if this thing goes nuclear, we're all in for a bad time. ☢️💀

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is so beautiful… & true of many of us. ‘ A deeply personal look into my music taste, and if you listen carefully it’s as though you are reading my book.’🤩
