Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated See the Stars - Single by Adrian Jean in Music
Jun 6, 2019
Adrian Jean was homeless for two and a half years unbeknownst to his friends and colleagues. He lived in his automobile underneath the famed Hollywood sign and showered at a nearby gym.
His grandmother sensed that something was wrong and begged her grandson to come home to the East Coast. But Adrian was determined to stay in L.A. to fulfill his musical dream.
Therefore, he continued writing songs while sleeping in the backseat, staring down at the lights of Los Angeles. One of the songs that he wrote, entitled, “See The Stars”, found Adrian negotiating leaving home despite his grandmother’s disapproval.
‘See the Stars (Radio Edit)’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with contemporary R&B and urban-soul elements.
Adrian Jean has led a tumultuous life which has taken him from the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia to glamorous nightclubs, to homelessness, and redemption.
With an absent father and a mother who was more interested in drugs than raising her children, Adrian was forced to grow up very quickly.
By the age of 15, he was living on his own and working for a drug dealer. Later, he struggled with the pressures of being a bisexual man in a culture that didn’t accept such differences.

Phil Leader (619 KP) rated Dragon (Dirk Pitt #10) in Books
Nov 12, 2019
Dirk Pitt must race against the clock to uncover the fate of the weapons and what use they may be put to. And not all of his foes are human.
It has to be said you generally know what you are going to get with a Cussler book and this is exactly what you get. There's a villainous bad guy who wants to destroy America, almost insurmountable odds, incredible chases and ingenious escapes.
The whole is equal to the sum of its parts, so this is a completely standard Pitt adventure novel, but there are many of those parts that aren't quite up to scratch. With the fall of the Soviet Union as the Enemy Nation, Cussler has transferred this status to Japan, but it doesn't really work very well and comes across as more than a little xenophobic. And the threats aren't particularly threatening. By this point the plot twists that made the earlier novels so intriguing are basically absent with very little happening that isn't signposted. So although it's a standard Cussler thriller, it isn't anywhere near being one of the best
