The Goat Says "MEH!"

The turkey goes "GOBBLE! GOBBLE!" The horse goes "NIGH! NEIGH!" The dog goes "WOOF! WOOF!" From monkeys, to sharks, to lions, there are different species that call planet earth home. All animals living on earth look different from the light brown fur covering their whole body, keeping them warm as they creep up and tackle sick, hopeless animals for their next meal, or blue and green scales covering up their small, slimy body as they...

Hollywood Boulevard

  Riding my bicycle along Hollywood Boulevard today I saw him in the crowd - noticed him instantly. When we reached each other, I said hi and asked if he would mind if I took his photo. “You want my photo?” "Yeah," I said. "There’s nobody like you." “I know.” And he smiled for me, although his face was evidently destroyed by something, and his mouth reconstructed. I asked him what happened. “Shot,”...

A.R.M.S?

You had better things to do. Like getting your nails done at the salon and shopping for that cute blue mini skirt you saw on Fashion Police or playing video games with a few of your bro’s, seeing who can chug down those last couple cans of beer before vomiting into the gray bucket in your lap. Of course waiting the last minute, you type up that four page paper, trying to complete the assignment hours before class starts. Staying up to the break...

Four Corners

Everyone has their sense of identity. Identity is what makes us who we are. It is in the silver lining what we are made to be, what we are going to be, and who we are but we ever thought about our own identity? On September 6, 2012, the class and some returning classmates from the previous semester were asked questions concerning their identity and answering by moving to the corner that most corresponds to their answer. For example a question...

Blog Grids

 People tend to express themselves in different ways. Some individuals tend to express themselves through artwork with paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Some may express their inner most thoughts and feeling through music, from relating to the lyrics to the song or hearing the soft piano music sooth your mind and put you at ease and for others they may drift and let the flow of the music take them away to a safe place but for others they blog, they generate their thoughts and feelings onto paper, type them up, and publish their thoughts,...

The Dark Black Wall

As human, being their own education journey, one tends to create their ambition to be successful in whatever aspect of education they would love to excel in.   From receiving the grade you longed for after studying all hours of the dark night, rereading the same study material over and over again until it seems imbedded in your tiresome mind or having the motivation to arrive to the class needed in order to attain that degree in the area...

Ikaw, "You Will Say Sorry"

People say  we are defined by our past. But What if the history from your past isn’t that grand? Do you refuse it or do you learn to accept it? Kevin Nadal wrote a poem called "Ikaw" from his early college days. He expresses his anger from what he and others have gone through with the stereotypes living in America and situations that the media does not bring up to light from the past and the present. Combined with poetry he expresses his feelings mixed with historical facts to inform his audience. I was shocked and surprised. I...

Meeting New People

Walking up to the old, gray, heavy, wooden door and stretching your arm to reach the metal, germ infested handle, gripping its smooth, cold, dirty, surface, the handle is pushed down and the door creaks open. Heads turn as hundreds of curious, judgmental eyes stare at your arrival. Hundreds of eyes filled with humanly emotion. Some filled maybe with worry from starting off their first day of college, some may be filled with happiness, excited...

First Day of Colleges Beloved "Crashers"

The first couple of day’s returning or starting college for the first time drives both students and teachers berserk. From slowly rising out of your soft, comfortable bed reaching to the ground, picking up and putting on that blue wrinkled shirt over your head onto your limp, tiresome body, or driving your cheap, beat up white van into bumper to bumper  traffic, yelling at that rich guy in the shiny new Lamborghini for cutting you off on the...
