System of a Down - Fuck The System

They almost had me
Red in tooth and claw
Eyes force closed
Needles in mind
Forgot anything from before

They almost had me
Red and green lights stop and go
The perfect system
Most open of prisons
Death in individually-wrapped bites

They almost had me
Red blood of vitality drained
Over complication
Simple destruction
Repetitive doses of

This is a plea for advice. Does anybody have any sleep expertise? I’ll try to be brief. Essentially, I always struggle to get to sleep. I listen to ASMR and chill music, I have mild tranquillisers, but sleep just doesn’t happen easy. My sleep patterns have always been chaos, no matter what I do.

Basically, yesterday I did EVERYTHING right. I got up in the...

I started an hour long playlist and began writing a poem - with the rule that whatever I had at the end of the hour would become this blog. When the last song finished, this is what I had:

Tiger of paper, yearning night

Haunt of the blind, learning sight

Talons of hawk, curving flight

Downfall of empires, burning light

Path of unknowing, forever obscured...

I just want to recommend Koji’s Childhood by @doncella

I’ve been reading S1 on Webtoon. It’s a compelling story, and the art is fantastic. Themes of otherness, alienation, formation, and belonging - with some cool and memorable wolves 🐺 definitely worth checking out 👀

… you’ll understand why

Saltwater - Chicane followed by

Set You Free - N-Trance

Freestyler - Bomfunk MCs

Butterfly - Crazy Town

Youth of the Nation - POD and

Take A Look Around - Limp Bizkit

…. has got me absolutely buzzing 🤣🤩

@dicentra is so appreciative. Always trying to reach out, build community and get people interacting - whether by humour, poetry, deep thoughts, music, encouragement, multimedia creativity, or any of the beautiful ways her mind works.

So, Dicentra, this is an attempt to appreciate you.

To know what Dicentra means to me, you have to know where I was. She found me in deep depression. I’ve

This post is because @dicentra asked what love is to us in her BLOG. I posted an earlier version, but it felt very incomplete, so this is the rewrite.

Essentially after thinking and drafting in Notes, I thought of this scene from the end of Life On the Road (2016, SPOILER). It was a spinoff from the original UK version of The Office, featuring...

“You just don’t understand, it was blooming! That’s, like, once every two years! You have to get it back.” His eyes darted around the room as if seeing after-images of all the burglar’s steps.

“Sir, with all due respect, your apartment is half-burned out and your front door is split, and you want us to… find your cactus?” the policeman said.

“Yes! I can’t be

It was so hot, that night. I remember the tarmac felt like wax. The moon was full, and the sky was abuzz with some kind of dark, reddish glow. We had plenty of time, so we got coffee at the airport. It was a late flight, but the airport still drifted with its human flotsam and jetsam. It was strangely hushed, as if people had

Today I posted the first video of a new YouTube channel project. I had never made a video before tonight, I had no idea what I was doing. But this channel represents my recovery, my hope to help others, and my gratitude for all who have helped me 🩵

“Movie” @fredhincanada

This is the end of the Gauntlet, but hopefully only the beginning of the interactions we’ve been enjoying here on SG. Thank you to everyone who read my other six blogs, it means a lot to me.

There’s one movie I must dedicate this post to.

I Kill Giants

It’s just an amazing film. It captures your attention, it captures your heart, and...
