they are just like us
My opinion here will appear strange to many but hopefully after some thought they might nod their heads, consider and then even accept. The opinion I have and have always held is as follows, celebrities and other famous people are just those that have been lucky and are the same as everyone else. This is a blanket opinion covering music, television, film and sport.

Cosplay Conventions Should Be All About Fun and Games.
As a long time cosplayer, I have found it extremely aggravating when people want to cause trouble and drama at conventions. I have seen way too much of it and quite frankly, I am sick of it. My friends and I are in the agreement that these conventions should be our escape from reality.

If “The Purge” Was Real, Would You Participate?
In disclosure, I love “The Purge” films. Each and every one. I deviate from the opinions of those who believe they are simply B-movie fodder for the wish-fulfillment set, and hold the opinion that the politics in these films are acutely well-informed and, unfortunately, not all that far from reality … which makes them, and the current USA Network television series spinoff (though I personally far prefer the films), all the more effective.

Was Captain Jack Sparrow a Real Person?
Captain Jack Sparrow is probably the most famous fictional pirate seen in generations, pushing infamous figures like Captain Blood and Treasure Island's Captain Flint right out of the limelight. While the drunken antics and wild shenanigans of the crazed captain have become iconic to Johnny Depp's portfolio, fans have been asking for years whether a character that creative (and downright strange) could really be spun out of whole cloth.

Who Was the Real James Bond?. Top Story - July 2019.
James Bond 007 is perhaps the most well-known fictional espionage agent in history. The grand-daddy of Jimmy-come-lately characters like Jason Bourne, it's been estimated that over half of the world's population has seen a film starring the suave super spy. Though not as many people have read the originals penned by creator Ian Fleming (who was sort of an insane badass in his own right), the books have survived, and even thrived for decades now. For all that time there has been one, burning question in the minds of many franchise fans; who is the real James Bond?

The Disappearance of Agatha Christie
By 1926, Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie had already made a name for herself as a mystery writer. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, featuring Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, had been the first of many to be published to widespread acclaim, alongside numerous short stories. She was married to WWI pilot Archie Christie, had her daughter Rosalind by him, and was looking forward to publishing The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. From every angle, it looked as if she had an ideal life that was only going to get better.

Alone on the Throne
I was born in the winter; since then it has been coming. Ever so cunning, it is as quiet as the humming of the drumming hearts. The first chapter of change began with a beheading fit of rage, all on the stage of life. We were right next to him when the wolf lost the first fight. We screamed as lion hearts beamed and it all seemed like it could grow no worse. It carried my trust off like a hearse, and my heart burst like a balloon as the script continued to unleash all the doom and the story’s bloom continued to swoon and loom.

Jack's Journey
Floating through the void of space in his mind Anime Jack questioned his existence. "Why am I here? What purpose do I serve? Am I destined to be nothing forever?" Countless questions invaded the zone of where a sturdy foundation should be. As he continues to float in the distance, he sees a black hole. He didn't try to float away from the unknown, he accepted what was to come hoping for the best. While he begins to get closer, that black hole begins to shine bright and capture his full attention. The closer he got the more he felt a passion in him growing. Not knowing what the passion was for it impulsed him to move faster towards the hole of light. When he got close enough he heard a voice in his heart that said, "Destiny awaits." The hole of light sucked him in and spit him out in front of an old run down building, full of spider webs and moss. As he stood up he hears that voice again say, "It's in your hands now," leaving him puzzled all he had was a fire of passion burning in him and an old run down building with a sign that read, "Anime Mansion." At that moment he realized, "This is where I belong!
