A lunatic moon
A Lunatic Moon is a fictional tale of horror. Some aspects of it are historically related. For instance, dates of certain events are actual. I wanted to write a story like this with a unique approach to the ordinary. In other words, this is no ordinary horror story. As a big fan of horror, I have done the best I can to keep you looking over your shoulder when you are alone. Mike Vansickle is attacked and killed by a wild animal on the railroad tracks while walking home from a party. His close friend, Danny Ferguson, finds his body, and the police are dispatched to the town of Glen George.

TeaseAndTalk
Flirty & Playful Step into TeaseAndTalk where the energy is bold, the conversation flows, and the chemistry builds naturally. It’s all about playful teasing, real connection, and keeping things just unpredictable enough to keep you hooked. If you can keep up, you’re in the right place. Confident & Mysterious TeaseAndTalk isn’t for everyone—just the ones who understand tension, timing, and a little bit of mystery. Conversations here aren’t forced… they build. Stay sharp, keep it interesting, and don’t get too comfortable.

Life Through My Lens: Reflections of the Journey
Life Through My Lens: Reflections of the Journey is a space for thoughtful storytelling and personal reflection. Drawing from nearly five decades of life experience, in this stream I explore the relationships, places, and moments that shape who we are and who we become. Born legally blind, I experience the world less through sight and more through connection, understanding, and lived experience. Through essays, stories, and reflections, I share life’s lessons in hopes that readers find perspectives or insights that resonate with their own journey.

Inkstainedpages
This stream is where inspiration turns into something real ✨ Where late-night thoughts become chapters, emotions turn into poetry, and love—no matter how complicated—finds its way onto the page. I write for the ones who feel deeply, who love hard, and who are still holding on to their story… even when life gets heavy. Every word here is raw, unfiltered, and straight from the soul. If you’ve ever turned pain into power, distance into devotion, or silence into something beautiful… you’re in the right place. Welcome to my world of ink, love, and truth

Healthcare at a Crossroads
During COVID the healthcare industry embarked on the largest pivot and technological transformation in decades. The acceleration in the last six years has been unprecedented and will continue this way as AI flourishes in every market sector. For healthcare how is AI safe, ethical and how are patient's rights protected in an digital evolution where the firewalls cannot keep up with the technology. AI can both enhance and impede patient care. Maintaining a human touch in an ever increasing digital world and how we make sure we are not excluding those impacted by a digital divide.

And "they say" I was spoon fed
Jahnae Nelson Dec 22, 2025
Some days my dreams scare the living soul out of me, and some nights I can't wish away. To be privileged in a long traveled village with no scams and no shacks; to be a aging black woman in a beautiful castle with nothing but the world to lack.

No Cleopatra, I won’t dance with you Jahnae Nelson Jan 26, 2025

Reclaiming the Hobby I Lost to ‘Adulting’—and Finding Myself Again
There was a time when joy came in the form of crayons, paint, and a plastic yellow caddy I wanted more than anything in the world. As a child, art wasn’t just something I enjoyed—it was my escape. In a life that often felt chaotic, creating something beautiful gave me peace. But somewhere between growing up, becoming a mother, surviving hardship, and carrying the weight of “real life,” I quietly let that part of myself slip away. Years turned into decades without me even realizing I had abandoned the one thing that once made me feel whole. Until one day, I found my way back. Reclaiming a childhood passion isn’t just about picking up a hobby again—it’s about rediscovering a piece of yourself you didn’t realize you lost. And sometimes, that return can bring more healing, joy, and peace than you ever expected.

Why You Should Visit Bilbao: Hidden Gems and MoreJul 17, 2025
"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years. It kept popping up on my list, quietly sitting there, waiting. But this time, I finally did it. I went to the north of Spain, to the heart of the Basque Country. I discovered a city that completely surprised me.

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity 
Dr. AY Heath Dec 24, 2024
Released in 1982, Blade Runner has solidified itself as one of the most influential films in the sci-fi genre. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film challenges the audience with timeless questions about what it means to be human. It delves into the complexities of identity and explores the consequences of artificial life in a profoundly relevant way today.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

The Weird Circumstances Behind the Death of Liam Payne.
On the day of October 16th, 2024, former One Direction singer Liam Payne fell from a third-story balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The sudden death of the singer ignited a wide variety of conspiracies due to the broken evidence and rushed nature of the investigation and trial. Today I ask and answer the most thought-provoking questions people have about this case and mysterious tragedy that happened that day in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Joe Kent, his resignation was planned.
Joe Kent leaving is not a mistake and he should be taken for face value when he said, "Iran is not a threat." Kent got hired, received his paycheck, and resigned after putting some time in, with his title. Just like Steve Bannon, just like Anthony Scaramucci, just like Michael Flynn, and around 10 more of his cabinet members.

The Beginning
Madalyne Murray O’Hair was a famous agitator and founder of The American Atheists. She gained her following from her famous case in 1963 wherein she successfully had prayer removed from schools. Next, she filed suit against the pledge of allegiance to remove the words “under god”. I did quite a deep dive into her and just to spoil it for you, her life ended when three kidnappers brutally murdered her, her granddaughter, and her son in an attempt to collect $625,000 in offshore extorted currency. All that aside, at the end of my research into her I noticed something…not once did she ever lobby to have “In God We Trust” removed from U.S. currency. I suppose in the end anything is worth the fight until a whole lot of money is involved.
