The Spookiest Song(s), in my opinion are.....(drum roll, please.....)

"Fall into Sleep" Mudvayne & "Like You" Evanescence

"Fall into Sleep" displays one of the most eeire themes ever written in a recent song and it makes no bones about what it is talking about: the devestation left behind in Hurricane Katrina's wake. In the line, "Dreams of earthquakes/
Dreams of hurricanes/Dreams of pouring rain/Dreams of tidal waves...to wash us all away/Dreams of guns blazed/Dreams of fire rage/Dreams of swollen graves/Dreams of hollow pain/All gone...." it clearly gives a haunting description of the storm as it was baring down on the Gulf Coast. In the next verse, Katrina's aftermath is made apparent, possibly said from the words of the New Orleans natives: "Dreams of mourning grief/Dreams of disbelief/
Dreams of tragedy/Dreams of our disease...to take us all away/Dreams of fidelity/Dreams of inner peace/Dreams of loyalty/Dreams of unity/All gone....../" From the first moment that I heard this song, a sudden chill rushed through me. I had no idea what the true meaning behind this song's depressing mood or the words spoken. However, once I read the words, everything became clear to me. After realizing this song was actually a tribute of sorts to the Gulf Coast region, the chills in my spine were amplified after I had heard this darkly beautiful song for a second time.

"Like You", like "Fall into Sleep" speaks on the theme of death. And, like the Mudvanye song, "Like You" is also based on a real-life event, which happened to the lead singer of Evanescence, Amy Lee, when she was just a child.

Well, sorry I don’t have much more to say, but….I promise that I will tell you a little more about myself soon! Until next time, fair the well....

 Adventures in Journalism
 

The world of journalism, in my opinion, is dog-eat-dog in its own brutal way. Every news story was fair game for a desperate reporter seeking the coveted front page editorial. If they couldn't find the breaking news story they so desired, then it was time to pay a little visit to a rival newspaper's website. Like scavengerous vultures, they would scroll through the headlines, as if they were searching for a piece of fresh carrion to claim as their own. When the document was seized for the taking, they would rip and dissect it until it was stripped clean of its original flesh. Once this tedious process was completed, the reporter would revamp the story with their own personal style, carefully piecing the missing parts together with almost surgical precision, using the God-given tools that were lithe from years of schooling and rigorous journalistic conditioning. By the next day, the revived story would be the front page news, much to the delight of the struggling reporter who virtually plagiarized it. As for myself,I have always bore animosity toward the reporters who practiced this act of larceny. I often call them by the name I have chosen for them after he became a reporter: "buzzards". Like the animal itself, these reporters always jumped at the bid to land a huge story, often fighting for supremacy with their literary teeth gnashed, aimed at the second or third party, instead of the forth, which was the most important of them all- the readers. I don't believe in such tactics. What about you? Does it seem wrong or is it for the sake of readership? I'm conflicted on this subject.....Well, guys, in the words of my aunt Fairweather Lewis, until then, fair thee well,
