The Long Night Is Over


It has been nearly a year without any activity, not even so much as a whisper. After all this time, I have only myself to blame. Each day that I did not post something here feels like a wasted opportunity now. It was not that I didn’t want to post as much as that I didn’t know what I wanted to post about. I felt like a vessel adrift, without a course to follow or sense of direction. I had to sit down and ponder carefully what I wanted to do exactly from this moment onward. Should I continue with this project? And if I do, what needs to be done and what needs to change?

It’s now April 2019 and yes, I’m going to continue working on this seemingly short-lived project. The “Long Night” is over; Sagramor is back in business for good and I have some cool ideas to share with the world.

In short, I’ll still be coming out with book reviews and encouraging posts, because we all need to receive some love in our lives (and you can’t spell “Sagramor” without “amor”). But what I really want to focus is on two things - one that I have already shared and one that I had left aside at first - which are my music and my love for Vampire: The Masquerade. There is still a lot to be done in preparation for this, but I will definitely be sharing more details over the next few days, so stay tuned!

Needless to say, I am really excited about reviving this project and materializing all these ideas I have to share with you. I recall Euripedes’ quote from my pilot post, and after all this time, I believe I have finally defined my own direction - and that is just too sweet.

Sagramor's Quest Log - Plans for Future Content

As mentioned in my previous post, I am picking up this project with some new ideas in mind. Most of these ideas are pretty much set in stone, and so I thought it would be best to lay out as many cards on the table as I can for now. The general trajectory has sort of been defined - circling around music, book reviews and Vampire: The Masquerade themed content - but I really wanted to break down my plans a step further, just as a reference for both you and me. Music: While I am certainly passionate about music, I have little experience with music production and DAW's. (I have always been more of a "bathroom singer.") Still, I will try to make the music sound as professional as I can, with the resources I have. I plan to release at least two songs per month - one cover song and one original song, written by none other than yours truly. You are more than welcome to recommend songs that you'd like me to cover! Book Reviews: All in all, I think it is a good idea for m...

BOOK REVIEW - Plato's ''Apology'' and ''Crito''

Alright, let's make things clear from the get-go: I am NOT an intellectual. I have next to no formal education in philosophy. I do, however, enjoy reading the sort of literature that challenges my understanding of things and my ability to think critically (in the rare occasion that I can do such type of thinking). That being said, I thought the best way to kick off my series of book reviews is by addressing two major Socratic dialogues I just finished reading: the Apology of Socrates and Crito , as the latter follows the former. Again, I'm not a scholar nor anything of the sort. Learned men and students of philosophy would perhaps focus on some underlying concept pertaining to the study of philosophy - like the allusions made to the Socratic paradox (i.e. "I know that I know nothing") throughout the Apology - yet I am more concerned about the dialogues' narrative and the lessons we can draw from it. Now, you've probably heard of Socrates as this massiv...
