‘Song Sung Blue’ Encourages People to Follow Their Dreams | Movie Review
Photo by Focus Features On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, after finishing Zootopia 2 (2025), on my way out of Consolidated Theatres Pearlridge, I told myself I was done with going to the movies because I’ve lost the excitement for seeing a new film in theaters, most likely due to inflation. However, as I was leaving,…
Reflections on the Year 2025
Now that 2025 is almost done, I just have one word: HALLELUJAH!!! This has been one of the most stressful years of my life, but I guess it was necessary because I’ve learned a lot about myself and the person I was always meant to be. I won’t get into any of the personal crap…

The Best of AC/DC Deep Cuts and Rarities
When you think of AC/DC, what comes to mind? “You Shook Me All Night Long” and “Highway to Hell”? Well, that needs to change immediately because as great as those songs are, how many times do we need to hear them? Contrary to popular belief, there’s more variety to AC/DC’s catalog than most people realize.…

Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Last Rites’ Is Truly a Memoir of a Madman | Book Review
Now that I’ve read Ozzy Osbourne’s first autobiography, I Am Ozzy (2009), it’s time for me to dive into his second and final autobiography, Last Rites (2025). Like the former, Last Rites was co-written by Chris Ayres. The book captures the last seven years of Ozzy’s life, starting with the No More Tours II tour…
‘I Am Ozzy’ Is Wildly Awesome | Book Review
I don’t remember how I discovered Ozzy Osbourne because it certainly wasn’t through Black Sabbath. I just know that my vivid memory of Ozzy, sort of, was through a season two episode of Hannah Montana titled, “(We’re So Sorry) Uncle Earl,” where Jackson Stewart (played by Jason Earles) does an exaggerated impression of him. Now…
My Top 10 Episodes of ‘Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour’
December 3, 2025 would’ve been Ozzy Osbourne’s 77th birthday. I’m not the biggest Black Sabbath fan, my knowledge on Ozzy’s solo career is as tiny as a ladybug; and I was too young to appreciate the insanity of his reality show, The Osbournes. However, when I got home from the Disney College Program in January…

Kelly Clarkson’s Voice Took Me to Heaven | Concert Review (Studio Sessions – The Las Vegas Residency 2025-2026)
I’ve been a fan of Kelly Clarkson’s music since I was a little girl. Though I have a soft spot for her first two studio albums, I still think she’s put out some stellar music since then. I don’t like everything she’s done, but I admire her for trying out different genres like dance-pop, country,…
New Kids on the Block Gave Me My Money’s Worth | Concert Review (The Right Stuff Las Vegas Residency 2025-2026)
I’ve mentioned a few times on my blog that I love boybands! One Direction and Big Time Rush were my childhood, and I grew to appreciate the Backstreet Boys as I got older. I actually saw Big Time Rush live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in August 2023 and had a…
Johnny Comes Back Full Circle in ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 6, Part 3 | Netflix Review
The time has come for me to finally review the third and final part of Cobra Kai season six! My apologies for the massive delay. Once again, I don’t have a valid excuse for posting my review so late. Let’s just say, life got in the way. Be warned of spoilers ahead! Part Two ended…
10 Songs That’ll Help You Blow Off Steam When You’re Mad at the World
There are a lot of reasons to be mad at the world. I already knew that, but 2025 gave me a few more reasons to be mad at the world. For starters, 9-1-1 killed off beloved captain of LAFD Station 118, Bobby Nash, one of my favorite characters from the show, towards the end of…
Rush’s Fifty Something Tour: A Well-Deserved Opportunity to Pay Tribute to The Professor
Photo by Richard Sibbald / Live Nation On Monday, October 6, 2025, on the car ride to work, my dad casually mentioned that Rush are planning to go back on tour in 2026. I thought it was a joke, at first, because how can the band tour without drummer and lyricist Neil Peart? He passed…
Tom Keifer, Take Me Back, Please! | Concert Review (U.S. Tour 2025)
It’s hard to believe that the last concert I attended was The Black Crowes’ Happiness Bastards Tour (The Reprise) in December 2024. Seriously, that is mind-boggling! What the heck have I been doing all this time?!?! That’s a long story, but anyways, I’ve wanted to see Tom Keifer live since I got into Cinderella during…

Remembering AC/DC’s ‘Live at Donington’ in a Positive Light | Blu-ray Review
Ever since AC/DC played Las Vegas this past April, I’ve been obsessed with them all over again. Reminds me of when I was just getting into them during the COVID-19 lockdowns with nothing to do, but listen to AC/DC. Ah, oh so long ago! Back then, I only had two concert films of theirs, No…
