Drugs

I use my credit card for more than spending

Money is limited but pain is never ending

My wife is out; my son is asleep

The rent is up, and this place is not cheap

So many responsibilities, I work two damn jobs

At the end of the day I just need to take the edge off

…

…

…

Holy fucking fuck it’s great to be alive

Is it hot in here? Fuck its fucking hell in here Jesus

Pants? Fuck Pants, I’m burning alive wearing these fuck

I want to run? Would that be weird? If I just fucking ran?

No right? Good!

Did something break? What the fuck did I just hear?

…

…

…

Despair, hate, black like my eyes

Who the fuck. WHO THE FUCK IS LOOKING TO DIE

What the fuck is that fucking sound

I need more, fuck! I’m all out

Three black figures sprint down the stairs

They’re multiplying, who the fuck are they trying to scare

Jesus I’m sad, and these monsters are gonna get me

Might as well do it, Christ set me free

No! No! Not today Jared! Fucking show, them who’s boss

Bring it motherfuckers! I’m not one you should cross

One launches at me, I bite its cheek off

Blood on my face, and monster flesh in my jaw

I throw the bitch against the wall, the rest are pointing and cackling

There are just so many, fuck why are they laughing

I start to strangle one, the rest started to cry

Tonight isn’t the night I..the night…the night I die

Dead silence…

…

…

…

What the hell happened? How long have I been out?

There is blood everywhere. Why is there skin in my mouth?

Are those sirens? Why is do I hear knocking?

I yell for my son, but no one is responding

I go to the living room; I can’t believe what I saw

There lies my twelve-year-old son, strangled, partly disfigured and his skin is in my jaw

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
