My Collection

             Has it ever occurred to you how unique human beings are?  All of us are so layered, specifically when it comes to interests.  The way that I see it, most people have four main interests: you have your work interests, you platonic interests, your romantic interests, and your personal interests.  All of these can be significantly different, especially your personal interests, better known as your hobbies.  No matter how many hobbies you have, there is always one that stands out, that occupies more space in your mind than the others; an interest that could be considered an obsession.  For myself, my obsession is my collection.              My collection means everything to me, it keeps my mind active and gives me something to eternally strive for.  What is it of, you may ask yourself?  Well, it’s a collection of merchandise and promotional mater...

Another Night

               Tonight was another one of those nights, a night filled with drinking enough so that I wouldn’t feel the pain anymore.   A night of poisoning myself to the point that I would not remember a single thing in the morning.   Why did I do this to myself over and over again?   I didn’t want to, and I always hated how I felt the morning after, yet I couldn’t help myself.   I suppose you could call it symptoms of a disease, or even a cry for help.   But that’s not how I saw it.             The world is a bleak place, one that is growing a shade darker each and every day.   Some days were worse than others, both on a personal scale and on a global one.   These were the days that I found myself at my favourite pub.   I never intend to drink as much as I do, but one turns into two and two turns into ten, then before I know it, I am back at my front...

My Thoughts on Supernatural

As I pace through my living room with my phone in my hands, trying to find the perfect way to start this post, I find myself drawing a blank.  Where do I begin to explain what this show has meant to me through the years?  Up until a couple of days ago it was some what absent from my mind, but now, it only feels right to reflect upon everything this show has meant to me.  So I'm going to do what feels right; I'm going to put on an episode while I type this out.  Which episode?  Well, I'll get to that. To start, this show came out when I was twelve and I was freshly into Grade Right.  I remember that my parents and I were discussing what we would watch during the week.  Every year we would talk about the old shows that were coming back, and the different shows that would be coming out.  My dad brought it up, but how I remember it, I didn't want to watch it.  My memory is hazy, but I remember him telling me it was a show about brothers going aro...

My Thoughts on Thirteen Reasons Why

Right from the start of all of this, I'm aware that this isn't going to be the typical content Creative Corner, but this is something that I realized is very important to me and I would like to share it with everyone/anyone who is willing to read it.  Note, there will be some minor spoilers, but I will try to keep them at a minimum. For those of you who have Netflix, there is a show that debut in 2017 called Thirteen Reasons Why.  It is an adaptation of a 2007 novel of the same name, dealing with the suicide and fallout of a high school student.  In the novel, the victim, Hannah Baker, kills herself after experiencing a year of hell.  Before she takes her life, she records thirteen tapes, explaining who is responsible for her hardships.  The show takes the plot further, going further than the novel, finishing off the main character's high school career. This show is not easy to watch, and if you are triggered by certain topics, I might advise against wat...

237: A Night on Crowd Road

1             The sky is dark, as it has been for quite some time.  The sun disappeared hours ago, leaving to wake the people of the neighbouring hemisphere.  This night is darker than usual, being less spiritual and more ominous.  There is no silver glow from the moon, nor any pale specks from the stars.  These cosmic staples are blocked out by the gigantic cloud looming overhead. There is a storm raging tonight, which is adding chaos to the usually serene scene.  The trees are violently swaying and trembling from the gusts; creaking and threatening to come crashing down with every blow.  Lightning cracks through the sky, giving brief glimpses into an illuminated day.  These glowing cracks in the air are swiftly followed by a dense bellow, reverberating through the Earth’s core. The rain is coming down hard, creating an audible thud with every drop.  On its own, it wouldn’t seem like ...
