You have stumbled upon the Ark of the Lost Angels, a little corner of the internet I’m carving out for myself. Here will live my thoughts on the world, entertainment, some of my creative writing and photography, and anything else I can torment my loyal viewers with.

Schedule:
Monday – articles about the world, politics, tech industry, history, etc.
Wednesdays – articles about entertainment, literary analysis, reviews, retrospectives
Fridays – creative writing pieces, usually short stories or poems.
