" i'm counting all the killERRRRRSSSSSS " Slipknot has always struggled on an album basis in my opinion. Every Slipknot album's track listing is at least fifty percent duds, with their more recent offerings being closer to the seventy and eighty percentile. So, for that reason, We Are Not Your Kind is arguably Slipknot's best … Continue reading Thoughts On: Slipknot – We Are Not Your Kind
Thoughts On: Sonny’s, Jim’s, and Max’s Steaks in Philly
Sonny's Ninety-nine percent of my preparation for my weekend visit to Philadelphia was done in the context of cheesesteaks. I made sure I knew the names of the best spots in Philly and where they were, so no matter where I was in the city, I knew of a potential cheesy banger awaiting me around … Continue reading Thoughts On: Sonny’s, Jim’s, and Max’s Steaks in Philly
Thoughts On: The Caliente Stupid Wings Challenge from Sheppard Street Tavern
I had a video of me eating the wings but WordPress won't let me upload it without paying for an upgraded account. Maybe I'll upload videos to Youtube and embed the link into the post. As pointed out by my good friend, when something is a challenge it’s implied that this something is difficult, but … Continue reading Thoughts On: The Caliente Stupid Wings Challenge from Sheppard Street Tavern
Thoughts On: The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry
Translated by Richard Howard "For me, this is the loveliest and the saddest landscape in the world."

Thoughts On: Euphoria – Season 1
Spoiler Free! At one point when I was watching Euphoria I imagined the script given to the actors, a white sheet of paper with blocky letters formed together to create lines of dialogue the actor must bring to life, and I realized how bad this show could've been. At first glance, Euphoria's screenplay could've resulted … Continue reading Thoughts On: Euphoria – Season 1
Thoughts On: Inside from Playdead
We live in a society Inside appears to be a game I would adore. Dark atmosphere, gorgeous art direction, and a thought-provoking story all from the developers of Limbo which, if memory proves to be accurate, nails the three attributes I just listed. So is Inside a worthy successor, a genre definer, a step forward … Continue reading Thoughts On: Inside from Playdead

Thoughts On: Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries (and some other past LTOs)
"My opinions on things are deeply rooted within me." Besides being the best fast food chain, Taco Bell are the kings of creating absolutely scrumptious culinary achievements only to rip them away from our feeble hands three to four weeks later. The list goes on and on, from the volcano menu to the naked chicken … Continue reading Thoughts On: Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries (and some other past LTOs)
Thoughts on: Royal Caribbean – Harmony of the Seas
This review is going to make me appear to be far more boujee then I actually am.

This is strictly my thoughts on the ship and the … Continue reading Thoughts on: Royal Caribbean – Harmony of the Seas
