    Winter Jam 2024 (part one)

    Criticism and praise for the artists at Winter Jam 2024: LIN D, Katie Nichole, Seventh Day Slumber, Newsong, and Joseph O'Brien. My comments range from ones on music and clothing style to facial expressions and hand motions. I bemoan the fact of Elvis' death and bring up questions about the direction of contemporary Christian music in general, as well as point out specific lyrics in songs from Winter Jam artists.

    The Bourne Legacy: What's in a legacy?

    The review of a movie that I went into expecting nothing, and came out of hoping for more. Contrasts between the original trilogy and the recent installment, the original characters and how they interact with the new ones, and musing upon the nature of Hollywood PSYOPS, and the meaning of legacy and respect of those that come before.

    A direct continuation of my previous episodes on The Bourne Series, here I give a play-by-play of The Bourne Ultimatum and my experiences, ideas, opinions, and impressions as I watched it.

    Spicy Margarita: What is and isn't Good.

    Exploring a myriad of opinions within a single person: equal parts hating and admiring this song. But it's not just the different sounds and vague impressions based on background noises, it's the deep underlying meaning of the jazz genre, it's the connotations and memories connected with a certain voice, it's the idea of upholding a longstanding legacy or betraying it.
