I TYPE MY LOVE TO YOU.
There I was, age 8, staring shamelessly at the wall in my room. I paused the video game I was playing of the day, only to realize I liked girls. But what kind of girls? The women I’ve seen on TV and movies I’ve never met any that remotely resembled them in real life. As many children in their formative years, I got shaped into my environment; a rough and tumble arena filled with beautiful black girls who had the teeth and tongue …
HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
To me, the library is one of the many wonders of my life. To think there is a system in existing today where highly coveted goods, of high intellectual value in some circles, you can borrow for a set amount of time for free! What a novel idea – if only we can apply the notion of a public library to food, or new music, clothes even. Our digital lifestyles has evolved so much in the past decade (thus affecting our analog one), and nowadays, we …
A CRUTCH IN CLUTH.
On the very first bye week of football in the New Year, sports fans were treated to a tension filled, playoff-type game between two elite teams of the NBA in the Chicago Bulls and the villainous Miami Heat. The game was 47 minutes of high virtuosity from the leagues best, pitting last year’s MVP Derrick Rose, and the previous MVP Lebron James trading dunks, floaters, fade-away threes, and other Sports Center 10 ten nominee plays. But there’s only one problem in that. In a professional basketball …
THINGS DON'T SEEM RIGHT.
This is dedicated to one Mr. Buckley, European History sophomore teacher extraordinaire: an extraordinary man who unbeknownst to me helped me subconsciously cultivates my lust and love for all things history.
Long before he inspired me though, I was a wise fool, just going through the motions, waiting for basketball practice. He then presented me, along with the rest of my cohorts in our 10th grade European History (when he wasn’t throwing garbage cans to a snoozing Jamel Cooke) with a proverb that was attached …
LEE EVANS. DROPPED IT LIKE IT'S NOT.
Truth be told, through and through, I’m a Baltimore Ravens fan. It’s the National Football League, and it seems as though America and their fans have a maniacal obsession with their respective teams. I just so happen to live close to Baltimore, but far enough for no one to share my sentiment in love for the team. NY, naturally and rightly so, is scattered with Giant and Jet fans all over.
The fate of the Raven season was sealed by a wide …
YOUNG ADULTS.
It’s true: age is but a number, yet there are so many more facets that get tacked onto that integer. There’s upbringing, environment, experience, perception, maturity just to name a few that support the story as a whole. Consider the stories of the younger, a position I’ve known in my former life all to well. I can think of an instance of this young lady by the age of 26, and I at the tender number of 21, courting her attention …
Movies 2012.
In the Four-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss, he gives you interesting, to say the least, tips on how to relearn what you think about health and fitness. It’s a recommended read, but I wanted to quarantine something he speaks about among those pages. In it, there’s a guy who doesn’t change his diet, but instead documents it, and still eats the same – but perhaps by changing the timing of eating these foods – like donuts, pizza and the like, and simply writing it down or imputing …
