Now Playing: Novella by Mr. Grossman

December 4, 2022 No Comments

Northern Californian musician Mr. Grossman (Mark S Grossman) has announced the release of his new EP/mini-album entitled “Novella,” containing four new original tracks with a wide-ranging experimental approach. The collection also showcases the artist’s more vulnerable side, as he lyrically turns inward and channels his inner storyteller. “Novella” is best described as “stories about people dealing with the past love, needing courage, comfort, and closure.”

The eclectic Mr. Grossman turns from the political theme of his first two tracks to the personal. These four songs are about people dealing with love, past and future, looking for courage, comfort and closure. On the opening track Chana Matthews gives voice to a searing portrait of a woman burned by past relationships, daring herself to get back into the game. The second track, Escape, is like an offer of encouragement and solace to the first. The music is a mix of modern R&B and pop, with echoes of Sade, Smokey Robinson and John Legend. There are also classical Easter eggs (Duruflé and Brahms) for good measure.

Stream “Novella” on Spotify.

Fake news. Misinformation. Lack of privacy. Political confusion. Yes, all these issues have always existed but in the technology age, it’s harder to ignore them. If we have a hunger for credible news sources, data, and information, where should we go? If we want our voices to matter, where should we shout?

Dating with conflicting political views and how to cope : eHarmony CEO shares

August 25, 2017 No Comments

Political views and love... addressing conflict. — Love and politics. Will they get the best of you? Learn how to cope when your date as different political views from yours.

Have a dating profile on eHarmony and wonder whether your political affiliation matters? If you’re looking to date women, it matters. There has been a 43% increase in women who feel like they need to make their political affiliations known. eHarmony’s CEO Grant Langston recently pulled together some practical tips on how to cope when dating someone with political differences. Here’s the scoop:

How to navigate this unprecedented political time while on a first date:

A first date could easily be derailed by conversations about politics. eHarmony recommends that you not make your first date a debate, but just a happy, high-level, getting to know you meet-up. In other words, keep it lighthearted and positive and don’t discuss details about the ex on a first date, the same holds true for any strong political opinions.

Get clear with and know where you stand in the political arena.

If you are passionate about your political party, and it is important to you that a partner also be aligned in that way, it is best to learn the information sooner than later. By date 3 at the latest. Do not invest too much time into someone if you know this is a deal breaker.

“Everything about this guy is amazing, but he loves Trump. And I am not a fan. What do I do?”

Assuming this is not a deal breaker for you, try to really go into a conversation with an open mind-set about why your date feels the way he does. Is it a matter of backing his policies, or does he just like the President’s personality? The more information you have, the better you can make a decision about your date’s judgment and values – and whether they align with yours.

President Obama Signs NDAA

December 31, 2011 400 Comments

strongBy/strong strongBriana/strong strongBooker/strong NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act was passed the last day of 2011 by President Obama for the 2012 fiscal year. It means anyone seen as a terrorist suspect can be held indefinitely and without trial. I have mixed feeling about the act because I feel it is an invasion on freedom. Yes, perhaps safety might increase but who and what is a terrorist. A terrorist can come in any shape or form. If you are a terrorist suspect on American soil, you may not get a trial at all. What happens if you are not guilty at all? You can be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyone can go to jail. Think about it. strongUpdate/strong : President still allows American Citizens planning or in coalitions suspected of terrorism to have a trial. Everyone else, good luck. Congress wanted a harsher defense bill but President Obama signed NDAA.
