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.

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...
