I AM FREEPORT.
My Sunday was resplendent. I spent it with Jeff, along with my newfound writing friend Erica, whom we accompanied at Barnes and Noble to start our formidable writing team. When not reading any of my writings, you should check out her blog, as she has invaluable insights all her own.
As our first meeting commenced at the bookstore, I could only think of how talented she is with the pen. That’s the beauty of writing; she is deft in her own words, something that I myself …
Pane on a Window.
Sorry for the delay y’all – I was stuck spending the latter part of the morning shoveling out my car to take my wife to the dentist, and the latter part of the afternoon shoveling out her car so she can get to work in the morning. At my apartment, we take turns to clean it– and unfortunately, today was her day. But I offered clemency, as today marked her first respite in seven days from her rigorous duties in being a local trusted pharmacist. Do …
Spread Love, It's the Baldwin Way.
The start of any successful relationship – a friendship, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, and even a marriage are smothered with communication, love, and affection. Surely, these are the ingredients when a relationship blossoms.
In the beginning, it’s easy. You are handicap in the fact that you don’t know them that well, just yet. The strange and unfamiliar territory that you explore is fun and fulfilling to conquer. You always learn something new, and are eager to know more.
Then comes the maturity stage when …
I decided to dress warm.
When faced with decisions, minuscule and monumental alike, there’s three ways to move forward. Our next move can be a reaction, a response, or nothing at all. Now it’s your turn to think – which category do you fall under?
“I made decisions that I regret, but I take them as learning experiences. I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.” – Dana Owens
No matter how big or small you think the decisions are, they all mold us as to who we are to the …
Family.
Everyday is a gift. A present of life in the present, reminiscing with people you know and love about precious memories, and moving forward to see what happens with them in the future. And yesterday, I re-learned how important it is to be surrounded by those that you love.
“I live for the nights that I can’t remember, with the people that I won’t forget.” – Aubrey Graham
I’ve been thinking about my mortality lately. In all cases, there’s a beginning and always an end. What about the journey? …
THE COOLEST NERD I KNOW.
Introducing Theirry, 29. I met him in 1st grade, a plight that led him from Haiti to Baldwin, New York. When I met him, he was quiet, but not by choice. He barely knew English, for his native tongues included French and Creole. My memories are vague when recalling those days; what I do remember is that he towered me, as he was some 1 and ½ feet taller than me, and we seemed affable with our love for ink on paper. It was …
WRITING = HAPPINESS.
In boxing, the “Tale of the Tape” tells it all – your opponents reach, height, weight, his stance Righty or Southpaw. Yet in real life, the tale of the tape – occupation, schooling, nurturing often tells only part of the story. But i ask the question: does academic and occupational credentials promote pretentiousness?
