I have a hole in my soul. So, am I'm still whole?

Myspace CodesThe articles of freedom are written on souls and passed out during class as the majority consoles the few and far between of teenage rebels that feast on defeated and suckle on the triumphant. There is no such thing as a rite of the middle passage, only nestled in the midst of understanding is the word 'stand'. Demand your liberty during the pursuit of happiness in your squad cars and dive bars drinking anger and revolt in shot glasses bottomed out and viewed through as goggles. This man is not alone in his mind, but is with many when he thinks in solitude.

My Blog

This year belongs to the winds of change.

It's September, and my '3' year is 3/4 done.  The Green Day song "When September Ends" is in my head.  I've encountered a wonderful person, and yet I don't trust myself as much as she may no...

Be careful...

The one thing I ask i that you'd respect a person's boundaries. All I ask from my class and peers alike is to do so. When it is breeched, the worst could be brought out of an individual. REGARDLESS of...

Two men in progress. (What to do about raising a boy, minutes before he becomes a man)

A couple of colleagues and I discussed the advantages and disadvantages of adopting and/or being a mentor, after a former Row House child approached us for help when he ran from his foster home. Appa...

Eye-catchers (Just because)

There are friends you just have to admire their ability to have that special quality. Some have more than one. Doesn't hurt that their appealing to the eye. So, with no disrespect to a fella's woman...

Common and D'Angelo - Geto Heaven

When I'm feeling a bit low, or even mellow, I think of this song. I ran across this about 8 years ago, I think. The beat was low tone with the right amount of bass, and the message was relayed as on...

Slow ya roll... (pt. 3)

Trust me, we were in it for both good and negative times. Even in teaching the youth, our inexperience leaked out because we only had half of the solutions before we even had the situation. It left ...

Slow ya roll...(pt. 2)

Now I could sit here and murder this brother's character altogether based on his faults compared to accomplishments and goals, but I am not without fault in my life, and I do have a solution (or sugge...

Slow ya roll...

I have a friend (who is actually 3 steps away from being a roadblock to a child's education) that is constantly pushing ideals and philosophies of particular parties in the youth's heads without the p...

No place like home.

After the coup from the citadel of low-intelligence and high maintenance, I returned to my safe haven with self-adorned accolades and fanfare. Actually, I just reveled in the system that welcomed me ...

Take your own advice!

Ok. I quit my job Thursday, on the last day of school. My former employer said she was about to terminate me (of course after I didn't give her the satisfaction) at the end. I laughed, cause she di...
