Wandering Thoughts

It's been ages since I've posted on this digital wall and quite frankly, it feels like a new experience altogether writing again. It's been quite a struggle trying to come up with interesting topics, captivating words, sufficient writing man-hours, or even just a witty title to begin with. I'd love to get into a habit of posting regularly but for the next few months, I believe these brain cells of mine are going to be dedicated into that thing called STRAMA. Every once in a while though, I have this tendency to share some short blurbs concerning not-so-important stuff that interests this silly personality of mine. Humanity on Mars? A couple of weeks ago, I was able to catch the premiere of National Geographic's new part sci-fi/part documentary mini-series, "Mars". The show's main plot revolves around the minute possibility of colonizing the Red Planet. It is an intriguing and insane theory to say the least but in that fleeting moment, the astro

Immediately I thought --  "Whew, this would be an apt title for my first blog post for 2016 except for the fact that the actual lyrics doesn't really inspire much confidence in terms of getting better ." The song's littered with lines such as: "It's unfair to suggest that there is even a change that I get through this It's never been harder to feel better It's never been harder to tell if I've changed of if I've just grown up." This band's the culprit. I'm 100% sure I've used one of those lines as a social media status before. So yeah, while there was a point in time when these lyrics perfectly encapsulated all the horrendous shit that life hurled right at me, an increment in the calendar year, oftentimes, creates a renewed sense of hope and purpose --
