Freedom in a Vacuum

Freedom in a Vacuum

As long as we believe a system that isn’t is capable of change, we will be its slave. While noble, anyone who enters the political arena as is is will find it unfit to create any kind of lasting help or change for common people. The experiment that law equates order is demonstrably failed. I mean, for a long time, they would electrocute you to death, people still murdered people. And as long as…

On next Tuesday, February 4th, I will mark my foray into the world of music and singer-songwriterhood with the release of "Baby Belle", an original composition of mine and the first single off of the self-titled LP I will be releasing later this year.

The single was recorded at Truphonic Studios in Charleston with the guidance of recording engineer Elliott Elsey and co-produced by myself and fellow South Carolinian musician Mel Washington. It will be released by my personal label, Strom McCallum Music, and distributed by Mono Stereo and Sony Music's The Orchard.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I'd describe my sound as the first thorough mixture of Country and 60's Psychedelic/Baroque Pop.

Stay posted!

William Gay He chain smoked Marlboro reds and drank his coffee from the same brown stained Styrofoam cup. His prose will keep you up at night, will shake you to your core. Not sure why he crossed my mind today. Maybe its the dark clouds, the smell of wet hay or the scorching heat of summer in the south. #author #southernauthor #williamgay #writer #southernwriter #portrait #fineartportrait #portraitphotography #editorialphotography #editorial #documentryportrait #documentryphotography

God has created each of us for a Purpose! Our purpose is often imitated, but it cannot be duplicated for God created each one of us for different reasons! Let us stop attempting to steal people’s ideas and search your heart and ask GOD to lead you to your destiny! We don’t have to become overwhelmed or upset when people steal our ideas because it will not prosper! God gave it to you, therefore he needs you to plant the seed so that it can manifest the DESTINY! 1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps.

This is all new to me but challenge accepted! I am so thrilled to have a literary agent help me get the ball rolling for my cookbook! I’m working on the order the book will go in now and I’m planning to have the first page pay gratitude to my late friend, mentor and Co-captain of FUN ....Meg Dure! She HAS to have a part in this project ‘cause she was my biggest cheerleader....as you all most likely know. I’m snuggled in with my electric throw, my laptop, pen and paper and a stack of cookbooks I adore for inspiration.

Doorways in Windows

The cold descended so low last night it touched the grass and turned it white. In some places, soil has spat up phlegmy streams of ice like tiny fireworks frozen in place. If you’ve ever stepped on a bed of broken glass you know the feeling of walking on frozen ground. Only pines cling summer green, and it has turned the horizon eerily into prison bars, the nakedness of hardwood trees. I…

Eudora Welty (1909-2001) Born in 1909 in Jackson, Mississippi, the daughter of Christian Webb Welty and Chestina Andrews Welty, Eudora Welty grew up in a close-knit and loving family. From her father she inherited a “love for all instruments that instruct and fascinate,” from her mother a passion for reading and for language. Nourished by such a background, Welty became perhaps the most distinguished graduate of the Jackson Public School system. Her collegiate years were spent first at the Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus and then at the University of Wisconsin, where she received her bachelor’s degree. After her college years, Welty worked at WJDX radio station, wrote society columns for the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and served as a Junior Publicity Agent for the Works Progress Administration. In 1936, she published "The Death of a Traveling Salesman" in the literary magazine Manuscript, and soon published stories in several other notable publications including The Sewanee Review and The New Yorker. She strengthened her place as an influential Southern writer when she published her first book of short stories, A Curtain of Green. In 1971, she published a collection of her photographs depicting the Great Depression, titled One Time, One Place. Two years later, she received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Optimist's Daughter. Welty’s achievements include more than her fiction. Her early photographs eventually appeared in book form: Her photograph book One Time, One Place was published in 1971, and more photographs have subsequently been published in books titled Photographs (1989), Country Churchyards (2000), and Eudora Welty as Photographer (2009). After a short illness and as the result of cardio-pulmonary failure, Eudora Welty died on 23 July 2001, in Jackson, Mississippi, her lifelong home, where she is buried. #womenartist #womanwriter #neverthelessshepersisted #girlsruntheworld #girlscandoanything #womenempowerment #femaleempowerment #womenartistsinhistory #womenauthorsinhistory #women #womenwriters #womenwritersofinstagram #womenshistory #history #southernwriters #eudorawelty #jacksonmississippi #mississippi https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZiu6cgCVR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hnnqa4yjvo9a

Halloween is almost here, and, although we are experiencing some cooler temps, there is another type of chill in the air. 

William Faulkner, author of classics such as The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom!, was also a prolific scary-story teller. The Ghosts of Rowan Oak, recounts the tales he told his niece, Dean Faulkner Wells. This volume is in Special Collections as part of the Patrick Samway, S.J. book collection, and is available to read in both French and English.

You can view these stories in Special Collections and Archives, located on the third floor of the Monroe Library, M-Th 9am-12pm/1pm-4:30pm, and by appointment only on Fridays. The Booth-Bricker Reading Room is also open during these times, and is a great spot for quiet study.
