Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my commentary as much as you enjoy listening to podcasts. To be honest, I’m not a professional. . . yet. But I’ve spent countless hours researching and crafting articles across multiple domains: geopolitics, lifestyle, and movie reviews.

No joke! I’ve curated a list of over 100 movies and series over the years, but I’ve never really shared my thoughts. Until now. Consider this my first shot at writing something worthwhile. I hope you think so!

We don’t have to agree on everything, but I’m building a community that thrives on diverse perspectives and spirited opinions. We’re in this together!

I’ll dive into trendy topics. . . and especially the ones people rarely talk about.

This blog is me figuring things out. It is what it is.

I have endless questions, and in this lifetime I intend to find answers. The best part of acceptance is that, even if I don’t find them all, it’s still okay.

But I won’t give up. Just like in Spirited Away—one station at a time.

I used to focus only on the destination, the end goal. That has changed. Now I’m all set to vibe through this journey with anyone reading along. And if you decide to bail halfway, no hard feelings.

Either way, this is going to be lit.

It's not your typical Marvel's glossy, over-the-top production — this one is slower and more atmospheric. The series has some really cool shots; however, the first season is slow-paced, as it takes time to set the stage, introducing characters, building the myth, and layering in environmental themes. Keep in mind that for some, it might feel like a bit of a snooze fest, but if it’s something you enjoy, it’s worth watching. *SPOILER ALERT *  Within the first episode, our beloved 30-minutes-of-screen-time character is dead. Magne’s almost-best friend is killed.  That’s the spark that lights a slow-burning avalanche of vengeance and events, all crawling toward a larger mythic showdown. Magne, our teenage lead, learns he is the reincarnation of Thor and...
