How Much Do You Tip an A-Hole?
2007-11-20 22:09:00 Disrespect, disgust, frustration, collectively consumed me last night on my way out of the bar. Yes folks, I went out for a drink on a Monday night. I really shouldn?t have done it. I know better now for more reasons than I will put down in this post. It was my plan to hit the gym, something I ... More About: Hole

Everyday Strangers
2007-10-25 21:59:00 I love New York and all that it is. Growing up in NYC isn’t for everyone but it damn sure is for me. Riding the train this morning, in a packed subway car I realized that morning routines can be so solemn. You have a bunch of strangers standing or swaying to the rhythm of the train ride. On a good day, there will be mostly silence (outside of the transient happenings at each stop and the barely audible conductor announcing where you are and what’s next.) My high school years had me leaving home at the same time every day. This led me to get to the train station at the same time, every day. In turn, I would catch the same 7:23 am train each morning. Many people had the same routine. So it was only fitting to find that you sat in the same car, in the same seat, with the same people each morning. High School was four years long. I sat on the train with pretty much the same people for those four years. There is this one woman who would sit adjacent to me each morning. I knew what st... More About: Tran , Strangers , Ranger

Free Writing: Haters All Around
2007-10-19 06:30:00 Here I have my second attempt at ‘Free Writing .’ Still trying to break the habit of making corrections.

Standing Still:Still Standing
2007-10-05 00:18:00 For the past couple of months, I’ve been somewhat at a standstill. Many things were consuming my mind and taking a major toll on me. I was so out of the loop and I didn’t feel like myself. No ambition, no determination, no will and drive to work, eat or do the things I’ve grown accustomed to doing. This brought me to a place where I didn’t want to be and at the same time, couldn’t get out of no matter how hard I tried. There was so many trials and tribulations that seemed to present themselves all at once and I found myself deep in a depression. Taking on the pain of my loved ones, trying to deal with my own situations and not knowing which way to turn, all the while praying for the strength to make it through without incident. The only thing I could come up with was that God was preparing me for some major changes. Not only for myself, but for the people around me as well.Little by little, the smoke cleared and I began to feel alive again. I couldn&rsq... More About: Standing
