Entry 3: The Herb We All Know Well

 Hello Dark Passengers,

    There's one specific herb we all know well. The one we find in countless different places, but the same feeling we get from it is all the same. We as humans can't seem to get enough of it. One thing we use it in specifically is arguably when people recognize it the most.

    Imagine: in a small metal tin, these small, pill-sized tablets are stored in, with a thin sheet of paper separating the small objects from the tin itself. As soon as you open the tin, the aroma hits you. It's such a potent scent. It almost feels like the scent opened up your nostrils a bit more. It feels cool. Then, you pick one of the hard little tablets out of the tin. They're dry, even having a small powder-like substance of the outside of them. Then, as you put the tablet in your mouth, that cool feeling you felt in your nose before, instantly floods throughout your month and throat, sometimes even making your breathing feel a bit colder as well. It's so intense, that it changes how your breath smells as well. Some would even call this feeling refreshing. Some chew the small tablet, and some legit dissolve in their mouth. If you choose to chew it, you'll find it's quite hard. It gets easier to chew as your teeth grind it down into a finer power. And if you let it dissolve it could take minutes. Either way, it leaves a clean, refreshing feeling after. 

    It's interesting how much a basic plant can used in ways like this, to make us feel such intense feelings, like when consuming one of these small tablets. And it might be even more interesting how recognizable it is to so many people. 

Until next tine,

- Tristan

Entry #1: Music is Cathartic

Image
      Everyone at some point in their lives has connected to music. Whether it's a song they listen to, a band or artist they admire, or if they actually play the music themselves. Music is so versatile that it helps countless people  everyday. I find playing the music myself to be more cathartic than just listening to it though.       Drumming has been a huge outlet for me. It can push you through certain emotions instead of just sitting with it. If I'm mad, there's nothing more satisfying than banging on drums and letting that aggression out. And if I'm sad, I can play a slower song. It forces you to concentrate on what you're doing  while also letting your feelings out. If you're happy and feeling good, you can play happy songs. The possibilities are endless.  Image source     This doesn't just apply to drumming though. This outlet can apply to any instrument. Or really anything that helps you push those feelings out. Drummi...

Image
 Hello Dark Passengers,      We see celebrities collaborate with their favorite brands all the time. Guitarists are no exception to this. With countless artist signature models out there, it's not very often that a guitarist gets a while collection of their own. Mike Stringer, lead guitarist of popular metal band Spiritbox, has just announced his signature guitar collection with Aristides Guitars. And this thing is definitely one metal guitarist won't want to miss!      Image source     What really is the difference between an artist model guitar and an artist guitar  collection? Aa artist or signature model guitar is one guitar, built to an artists liking, then made on bulk and sold as is. Current popular example of this would be Tim Henson of Polyphia with his signature model with Ibanez, the TOD10; Nita Strauss' signature model with Ibanez, the JIVA10; and Jared Dines signature model with Sterling by Music Man. An artist collection is...
