Scrooge has entered the building!. Top Story - November 2025.
From the swirling depths of inner turmoil, I grace you with a moment of much-needed sarcasm... I was gifted/tempted with the task of sharing unbiased opinions for a torrent of uplifting pieces of written art that have found their way to my unapproving eyes.

The Quiet Freeze: How Hollywood Slowly Closed Its Doors on a Royal Dream
Hollywood has always been known as the city of lights, noise, and endless opportunity. But the greatest secret this city hides is that nothing here is permanent. Hollywood welcomes newcomers with open arms, but when it grows tired, the doors don’t slam — they simply stop opening. Just silence. A silence most celebrities don’t recognize until it is too late.

A Statement on Personal Beliefs and Respect
By: T.D Carter Today, I’m celebrating my best friend’s birthday, and in less than two weeks, I’ll be celebrating my own. Both of these events, and the simple act of celebrating the people I love, bring me genuine happiness—regardless of what others may think, believe, or say.

Indigenous Voices in the Age of AI
🌍 Introduction: A New Digital Frontier In the twenty-first century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become the new frontier of human innovation. From self-driving cars to predictive healthcare, from facial recognition to generative art, AI has redefined how societies operate and how knowledge is stored, processed, and shared. Yet, while the promise of AI feels universal, its impact is not evenly distributed.

Religion and Immorality. Content Warning.
Warning: This piece is a personal reflection, not an attack on anyone’s faith. I write not as someone outside of faith, but as someone within it. I believe that while religion gives meaning to life, it also leaves room for doubt.

Returning to Vocal and Writing
Wow. It's been a wild ride the past five years. From telemarketing in 2021, to a failed craft business in 2022, to Vanlifing in 2023, to wasting tons of money in 2024, to hiding in my four walls in 2025. Bizarre, absolutely bizarre. I have horror stories and comical stories. I have romantic stories and tragic stories. But most of all, I have my own emotional journey story and that begins with coming back to the world wide web to continue my writing career. And that begins with the two websites that have prompted me to call myself a professional writer: Vocal.media and allpoetry.com.
