If there’s one thing I’ve been doing for a long time, and that I enjoy and know how to do, it’s listening to music. I’ve been a longtime listener of music of all genres by all kinds of artists. Sometimes I listen to random albums, but mostly I listen to artists’ full discographies from beginning … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 130: A Hip-Hop Legend

500 WORDS, DAY 125: We All Have Wisdom to Share With Each Other
This post is part of an ongoing writing series. I’ve challenged myself to post at least five hundred words a day on here, indefinitely. Some days I write the post that same day, some days I use something pre-written. I started with the idea of each day’s topic continuing from the previous day, although that … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 125: We All Have Wisdom to Share With Each Other
500 WORDS, DAY 123: The Joy of Reading and Art
This post is part of an ongoing series, or writing experiment. I’ve challenged myself to post at least five hundred words a day on here, indefinitely. Some days I write the post that same day, some days I use something pre-written. I started with the idea of each day’s topic continuing from the previous day, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 123: The Joy of Reading and Art
500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
I have changed a lot over the years. There’s a lot I’d like to do that I haven’t accomplished yet, and there are a lot of changes I am still struggling to make, but I can definitely say I am happy with some of the changes I’ve implemented in my life up to this point, … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 91: Changes
500 WORDS, DAY 73: We’re Not Always Aware of Our Impact
It's crazy that many of us never fully realize just how much of an impact our very existence has on the people around us, and just how much we might matter to certain people. We might not really feel too connected to anyone in our lives, so we could feel like we don't really matter … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 73: We’re Not Always Aware of Our Impact
500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations
Today I thought I’d pay homage to some of the writers who have most inspired me to do this. One big influence on me is Jack Kerouac. I don’t remember what came first, me reading ‘On the Road’ or my fascination with the counterculture of the sixties, but I know whichever came second only amplified … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 60: Two of My Greatest Literary Inspirations
500 WORDS, DAY 55: Attention
Attention. Yesterday I wrote about influence. It was the first topic that came to mind when I thought of a word to write about, and I wrote about it for two days. I thought I might continue writing about influence today also, but I guess I just don’t feel up to it today. I’ve decided … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 55: Attention
500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
Yesterday I introduced the idea of changing up the method by which I get these daily posts done. The change I’m referring to is that now, instead of randomly writing about whatever comes to mind, in a sort of stream-of-consciousness manner, I will instead choose one specific topic to write about, and I will go … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 54: Influence Pt. 2
500 WORDS, DAY 53: Influence
I’ve been thinking of an idea for my daily writing post. Instead of just writing randomly I’ve been thinking of basically deciding on one word or subject per day, then writing whatever comes to mind about that subject and just going from there. Of course, I have to keep in mind that subjects might be … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 53: Influence
500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
So, with yesterday’s post I started exploring the comparison between old-school and new-school hip-hop. I concluded that, even though both are guilty of including negative content in their lyrics and being careless with their words, at least the earlier generations of rappers cared about the craft and were dedicated to making the music dope. The … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 25: Old-School vs. New-School Hip-Hop
