The lombrices

 Good day Lombrices! Hope all is well! Today I watched the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, and I want to talk about one specific scene that stood out to me.  When all the back-up vocalists begin their solo career, suddenly they weren't doing well like how they used to when they were in their small group. They all sang very well, and they sounded great, but for some reason it was almost as if the world rejected them. They couldn't seem to surpass wall, and it was almost as if they were stuck. They weren't moving forward and were definitely moving backwards. This scene made me feel depressed, because it was like once they thought they were in the spotlight, finally being their own person, their light was dim. It wasn't as bright as when they were known as the background vocalist. Behind the "big star" they shined more brightly. Seeing these women struggle, not just mentally, but financially as well, made me feel angry, because they had the potential to be a ...

 Good day Lombrices!  Sorry for the delay on posting I had internet difficulties all weekend, and my power went out earlier today for unknown causes! So today's post will be short and sweet!  I've had a couple of challenges and experiences in college that I would like to talk about today. Some challenges I've had so far is getting used to the groove of college. I'm used to my schedule and all, but still wrapping my head around the whole college mindset. I'm slowly getting used to the time management aspect, because it is very different from high school time management. But I know I'll get there, time will tell!  Some experiences I've had are both great and not so great. I've got to meet some great new people and got to join two new clubs (Anime club and Witches Brew).  But I've also been dealing with some small anxiety attacks here and there during some classes. The anxiety part is somewhat normal for me, I just start to overthink a bit. But regardle...

Good day Lombrices!  Hope your week went well!  Today I will be talking about a photo that was recently taken when I went to Illinois State Park beach about a couple weeks ago. I really enjoy looking at this photo because of how fun the backstory is. My family and I went camping to Illinois State Park, and the night I took this photo was the second to last night of our small vacation. It was around 11:00pm when I got the idea to visit the beach since it would be interesting to see the lake late at night. My parents agreed, brought a lantern (as shown below), and we took the 5-minute trail to the beach. It was probably one of the best memories I've made with my parents, and I love to look back at the laughs, the struggles to walk through the sand, and the fun we had.  This photo features a poorly lit lantern, some boats in the far distance, and the lake in the background. In the moment, I wanted to have a memory of how beautiful the beach looked at night. Now, I'm no photo...
