Michael ReynosoPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedREVIEW: ROLLING STONES - EL MOCAMBO '77
By 1977, the Rolling Stones were in trouble. Their previous albums, It’s Only Rock’n Roll and Black and Blue, did not match the heights of their halcyon run of legendary albums from 1968 to 1973. The loss of Mick Taylor was a tremendous blow to them artistically, and Keith Richards’ drug habit was spiraling out of control and affecting his musical ability. Despite bringing in former Faces guitarist Ron Wood to the fold, the band struggled to match the fireworks of their peak years, and their live shows had become sloppy and lethargic, lacking in the vigor and danger that made their 1971-73 treks among rock’s most celebrated live experiences.

Blake A SwanPublished 2 years ago in UnbalancedVillainess Review: Marilyn Downey (Medium)
The second season of Medium had its share of twisted villainesses, and the episode, "Raising Cain," was definitely no exception. The episode began with Allison DuBois dreaming about a teenage boy (shown in a black-and-white documentary-type setting) set to shoot up his high school, and after Allison wakes up, she joins the investigation regarding the abduction of six-year-old Tyler Downey, as Lee Scanlon pointed Allison in the direction of the boy's parents: Marilyn and Paul. Marilyn voiced her apparent failure to prevent her son from being abducted, but meanwhile, we see a garbage bag at a nearby dump that appears to show some form of movement.

Caitlin FladagerPublished 2 years ago in PsycheHow to Be Who You Really Are
A mindset coach walked me through a mental exercise. He told me to imagine standing in a room throwing away all of the labels I give myself, or other people have given to me. Father. Husband. Writer. Comedian. Friend. Brother. Son. Coward. Bully. Protector. Whatever the label, I was to imagine it on a piece of paper and throw it into a big pile with the rest.

Before he died, dad said that I had not yet grieved for your passing. That isn't true, I grieved for the 2 years you both lived with Linda and me -- long before your body died, I mourned your parting when you stopped recognizing me as your son, or even remembering my name.
Derek ReinhardPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesOne Afternoon in May
Hey Mum, Do you remember that time when we were walking down that grey-stone street in Huntingdon one afternoon in May, some seventeen years ago now? You’d let me choose my outfit that day. I was wearing my glittery pink trainers, fuzzy lavender bodywarmer, and tulle skirt over striped tights.
C. R. DrinkwaterPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsThe beauty in graffiti's artform
Years ago graffiti was viewed as an illegal activity and condemned as malicious destruction of property. It was seen as mere vandalism by the wayward wanton youth who was a waster of time and was also a scourge on society. We never stopped to think that it was the youth trying to express themselves in the only way that they had available to them. That they found and saw beauty in the freeform of expression giving their voices an outlet and substantive value. Beauty is everywhere. One just has to look hard enough.

Caitlin PurvisPublished 2 years ago in StyledWaking up in the Train Station
I don’t make a habit of sleeping on tables in train station waiting rooms. Sometimes there isn’t a choice but on the bright side, it was certainly better than the out-of-service escalator I tried to bed down on earlier; but more on that later.
Jim AdamsPublished 2 years ago in ConfessionsWhat are Metaverses
Metaverse is one of the main words of 2021 according to Collins. Despite its popularity in the media and the peak number of search queries in 2022, a lot of people do not know what this word means. Metaverses are no longer fiction, but a real space for entertainment, education, work and marketing.
