-# About Me
+# Who is Raphael?
+
+A fair question. I’m still figuring that out myself, but here's what I know thus far.
 
 I’m a 4th year student at the University of Chicago with an enduring fascination for systems — the kind that hum quietly when they work and demand humility when they don’t. Most of my time goes into running and refining a constellation of Linux machines, tinkering with infrastructure, and turning half-baked technical curiosities into functioning projects.

-One day I'd like to write some blogs (I call them "meditations" because it sounds cooler) and when that happens they will live here.
+This is the home of my "blog" which is mostly random thoughts on things. I plan to have some Linux content as well as stuff relating to my many other interests.

+title = 'Thoughts on "The Life of a Showgirl" by Taylor Swift'
+date = 2025-10-15
+draft = false
++++
+
+Taylor Swift's 12th studio album "The Life of a Showgirl" recently released and I would like to offer my thoughts on it. I consider myself to be somewhat of a fan of Taylor Swift, mostly because her music tends to be energentic. However, this latest album crossed a line I didn't even know existed for me.
+
+While The Life of a Showgirl has moments of strong storytelling and clever production, I’ve found parts of it increasingly hard to connect with. Taylor Swift has always been a writer whose power came from emotional honesty and metaphor — she could express love, loss, and longing with subtlety and grace. This album, though, leans heavily into overt sensuality and explicit language, and that shift feels distracting rather than raw. It’s not the profanity itself that bothers me, but the tone: the bluntness replaces the nuance that once made her music feel so relatable. I respect the artistic risk, but the mood just isn’t one I enjoy living in.
+
+Despite all that, I’ll be listening to the clean version — it strikes a balance that lets the songwriting and production shine without the elements that pull me out of the experience.
