‘Watched’- June-July

So every couple of months I like to come here and talk about some of the movies and television shows I’ve watched over the past few months. Unlike my music favourites series, in which I’m pretty positive about the items on the list, I’m usually pretty critical during the instalments of this series. Solely because of the fact that for every good movie I watch, there are around 5 bad ones that take its place. Maybe I’m just really bad at picking out movies? Maybe Netflix is just absolutely terrible at recommending things that I’ll actually like?

Music Favourites of June-July

I believe that music has the power to completely change a person’s mood, state of mind and even physical capability (haven’t we all run a little too fast on the treadmill while listening to that one song?). Therefore, every couple of months I come here and talk about my favourite music of the past couple of months. Not because any of you really, truly care; but because I just like to talk about music.

Toxic Productivity

No, you are not a failure because you didn’t create a startup during the ongoing uprise of a deadly virus that’s killing millions and millions of people. No, you are not a failure because said hypothetical start up […]

Borrowed Poems From an Anonymous- ‘Senescence’ and ‘Surveillance’

“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private.

The Rise of The Anti-Role Model

I think it’s time we stop encouraging this strange narrative that celebrities singing and dancing on stage for a pay-check are somehow responsible for your child’s mental and psychological development. Sorry parents! You might have to actually start raising your own children instead of turning on the television and deciding that the first person that pops up on screen is your kid’s brand new parent.

Diamonds-Superstitions

Ah yes, diamonds. Those shiny little rocks that humans have somehow deemed worthy of extreme monetary value. The status symbol of the wealthy. Derived from the Greek word ‘adámas’ which translates to unbreakable, diamonds have cemented themselves as both a form of currency and status. However, why are diamonds so celebrated? They aren’t really that […]

Borrowed Poems From An Anonymous- ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘The End?’

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ Someone that I’m very close to loves to write poetry.
