Just Another Eve

Inspired by "Paradise Lost"

Just Another Eve
Andrew Annenberg

Just another Eve in reincarnation
subsisting in this sorry
life of stagnation.
A woman-
a possession of adoration,
seeking a perpetual elation.

At times,

divinity forsaken.
At times,
identity mistaken.
Reaching for the apple,
her morals are shaken,
and her insides churn
from the bite she has taken.
Within it all,
she finds relation
to her eternal struggle
of resisting temptation,
a persistent desire
to provoke sensations,
whether it be
of body or mind,
always searching
for knowledge divine.
Searching for relations
to keep in line,
but she feels so out of her time.
A traditionalist and
a revolutionary combined.
In which era
does she reside?
And is this left
for her to decide?
Within her sincere eyes,
blatantly seen is her demise.
The fall of man
attributed alone to her hand.
But upon closer observance,
one could truly blame the serpent.
Yet nobody heard it,
the sibilant temptation,
provoking intense
feelings of Eve's frustration.
A destruction of
a holy divination
all due to an adder's invitation.
A hushed and
whispered conversation
which yielded
humanity's damnation.
Yet here she is,
Eve born yet again
and again and again -
in this paradigm
that never ends.
And at its conception,
at the time it begins,
life is cursed
with women who
will always give in.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
