Tap Tap Tap… The Message Is On The Wall
By Urban Thought at 25 September, 2008, 8:32 am
Consumed in my own thoughts
as music blared from the headphones
stuck in my ears,

Mayor Bloomberg MIA: NYC Pissed Off
By Urban Thought at 17 March, 2007, 12:00 pm
While a Bronx blaze took the lives of nine people, eight of which were children, Mayor Bloomberg found himself in the warm climate of Miami. Did this sit well with New Yorkers who find it hard to believe that its own Mayor wouldn’t be on site lending his support, grief, and sympathy for the lives [...]

By Urban Thought at 30 October, 2006, 3:14 am
The MTA sponsors a contest each year for entertainers so they can perform in select New York City Transit Stations. Through my journeys today I came across two of these entities feeling the music and getting the crowd motivated. One was an older black woman with a voice that deserved to be along side folks [...]
