Tolerance

You and I don’t look alike. We don’t speak the same. We come from different racial backgrounds. We don’t dress the same. While these truths may be the only things we know about one another, we focus on those differences and often refuse to see past them. We have our own perception of each other [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Homeless Kid

The young people in America face homelessness as well. Very unfortunate that this can happen in this country.

Baked In Racism

Racism baked in every bite. A NYC bakery owner decides to offer his version of an Obama pastry. Some people call it racist others call him stupid. You be the judge.

The Road to Obama, Part 1

Thigh muscles aching the day after — the joy shines from within. When people ask where I was on the 20th, the magnitude of my answer seems to shock people. . . I was proudly one of millions that was propelled to Washington not just to witness history in the making, but to bask in the goodness [...]

Get It On

It is a slow day in the office and the weather is warm. I think I’m going to go out and actually sit at a restaurant for lunch.  One of my favorite pass times, when I’m not actually working at work, is perusing YouTube for funny videos. This one I found entertaining. Have a great [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Signs of the Homeless

Something about the homeless always catches my eye. This time around I’ve noticed those with signs telling a story and asking for assistance.

Two Steps Forward: Blasting head first into the 21st Century

So I have to say, gadgets and gizmos aren’t my thing. Call me old fashion if you want to, but there is something sacred about using a pen and a piece of paper and actually writing someone or even better dusting off those CDs (no, they aren’t Frisbees) and LPs and jamming to the music [...]

Winter Observation

Photographs of snow fall in New York City

Thoughtful Thursday: Unsystematic Thoughts

THOUGHTS: Another snowy day in NYC. Anyone enjoying winter so far? I opened my e-mail inbox this morning and what did I find? Some clothing designer is having a preview sale for their Spring Collection. We aren’t even past winter yet. SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND Google Map’s Street View feature is finding kidnapped children. [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Bread Winner

The Early Squirrel Catches the Bread. Isn’t life delicious?

Change We Need Pt. 1

Throughout my experiences with dating, I have encountered people who aren’t accustomed to being supportive, trustworthy or respectful. There were times where I fell short of giving my all for whatever reason, and things didn’t work out the way I would have wanted them to. The trial and error that is experienced when seeking a [...]

Foto Friday: NHL Winter Classic 2009

New Years Day was but a week ago but it is still vivid in my mind as I remember sitting in the freezing cold watching an NHL game for the first time. The Winter Classic is one of those rare events where the NHL played at a Baseball Park. History was made that day, at [...]
