From the Grave
Well, I haven't taken the first drink that gets me drunk in three-and-a-half years. That is to say, I've been sober for a while now. A lot has happened. A lot hasn't happened. And that is to say, God's will has happened [like I had any control over that one ( Read more... ) -

Is there such a thing as a morally-conscious rap song?
I left work an hour and a half later than I was scheduled today, but I didn’t mind. It actually ended up being an okay thing because when I revved up my Lexus, the radio station (B96 - We Are Hip-Hop) played a song I hadn’t heard before - “Day Dreaming” by DJ Drama featuring Akon, Snoop Dogg, and T.I ( Read more... ) -

Looking for feedback on fic...
Here's the next (final?) part of my Sorkin/Cheno fic. I don't know how I feel about it. I don't think it has all the punch and pizzazz of the previous two. It's not bad, but it's not great. There's just something about it that's off, and I can't figure out exactly what it is. Feedback appreciated.Unrelated (or perhaps related... whatever)... I was ( Read more... ) -
