Lost Friends (10/28/18)

We all have that friend that we aren't as close to anymore. Maybe you went to different schools when you were young, and as a result you couldn't talk to them as much. Or, maybe you just never got close enough to that person because you were spending time with your other friends.

We only have a certain amount of time to spend with friends, and we usually always spend this time with our closest friends. After all, why wouldn't we? They are our closest friends, the ones that you know so well you can't imagine your life without them. Spending all this time with your closest friends causes you to not spend as much time with your other friends. But sometimes, it can feel like a shame that you aren't as close to someone as you used to be.

Anyone can become a lost friend. If you haven't talked to a friend extensively for a long time, its natural for you two to not be as close anymore. In around a year, I will be heading to college. It's strange and scary to think that even the closest friends I have right now might become lost friends. My closest friends right now might not be as close a few years into the future. I'm starting to miss them, but we haven't even left yet.

But whatever happens, you could maybe still be friends with these lost friends. With social media and chatting services, it could be easy to talk to people you don't normally talk to. Keep in touch with your lost friends. Make sure that they are still close, and maybe you won't feel as sad losing touch with these friends.

Ranking all of John Mayer's Albums (9/1/2021)

 This post started out almost two years ago, but with the release of John's newest album, Sob Rock, I've decided to finally finish things up. Like in my top 10 albums of 2020 post, I'll be using normal text for all the songs I recommend, and bold for the songs I love. However, in this post I'll also include a "review in five words or less" (RIFWOL) section for easy reading. It's actually pretty funny to look back on my choices those two years ago and see how much things have changed. For reference, my rankings back then were: Room for Squares Battle Studies The Search For Everything Continuum Heavier Things Born and Raised Paradise Valley I'll be writing about the albums in chronological order, so scroll to the bottom to see my list today. 1. Room for Squares Honestly, very little can beat early John Mayer for me. Pretty much every song from this album I love and recognize. I really enjoy this early pop rock sound, and this album is one of those few al...

Reflections on the Dark Tower series (spoilers) (1/11/2019)

I've finally finished the series. It's been a wild ride. From the surreal first book to the twist at the end of the final book, it's been quite the journey. And it feels extensive too. The series took me around a year to finish, and it feels like the books have lasted forever. The Dark Tower series acts as one long story split over the entire seven (technically 8, plus WTK). The characters also travel through expansive settings, going across worlds and dimensions, from a desert to a forest, across a radioactive wasteland, and ending finally at the Dark Tower. If you want to read this, be prepared for a long ride. The Dark Tower series can be seen as a sort of hub for all of Stephen King's other works. For example, one of King's first novels,  Salem's Lot , tells the story of a man named Callahan, a character who also appears in the Dark Tower series. The characters also travel through a part of the decimated world that is featured in King's novel  Th...

Golden Boy (11/17/2022)

 Golden Boy is the worst manga I've ever read. While I wouldn't really want to recommend it in general, I think that reading at least some part of this could still be entertaining because of just how weird it is. And this manga is very, very weird. I personally did not love the anime, so I started reading the manga with no prior information hoping that it would get better. Instead, the manga only gets worse the more you read it. It reached a point where I was physically cringing during almost every chapter, and I had to take multiple breaks from reading because it was just too much. I think Golden Boy works best if you just show out of context screenshots to people. Some insane (and I mean insane as in I seriously think the author has some kind of mental illness) things happen in the manga, and those things are pretty funny if you just take them out of context. Over the course of the series, however, I found that the antics of the manga just got tiring. At some point in the man...
