One of my english professors sent this to me early Sunday morning, not sure why exactly, but it reminds me of last year and being the behind the scenes person when involved with the teen show, Gen.Is.Us Revitalized Teen Talk. Sadly the studio that we filmed the show at was suddenly shut down, and [...]
An Update…
Following the anti-violence rally that took place Friday September 25, 2009, two arrests have been made, two lots have been cleared where criminals were reportedly hiding guns, graffiti has been removed from walls displaying “tags” of two feuding groups.

My friend
This weekend, yesterday to be exact, I lost my best friend to cancer; she was my dog, but my friend nonetheless. My dog’s name was Ikea and she was only ten years old…
I cannot write and say that I didn’t notice something was a little off with my companion. She was getting tired very [...]
The week that was
After leaving the Philadelphia Public School Notebook (post coming soon, I promise) I began interning at the Philadelphia Weekly. Last Friday, I had the chance of covering a anti-violence rally for the Philadelphia Weekly to post on their website. I had just left the weekly an hour or so before, had heard about the rally [...]

Alex’s Lemonade
One of the things that make the summer season worthwhile for me, is having the chance to sell Alex’s Lemonade. A few years back I had the chance of meeting Alex’s father, Jay Scott, when dropping of a donation to the organization. He was so thankful that he gave me and those who had [...]
BET’s tribute to the King
I rarely watch BET, and after last nights award tribute to The King Of Pop I’m glad that I don’t. When arriving home yesterday evening, Jamie Foxx was on the downstairs television dressed in a red jacket much like the one Micheal wore in his “Thriller” video. Quickly I rushed upstais to my room [...]
Death of a King
It was in music class in elementary school where I first heard of Michael Jackson, and though I didn’t understand who the man was one thing was certain, he could dance better than anyone I had ever seen. My favorite, the moonwalk. So much in fact, that I would try to mimick it myself.
Unlike most of [...]
Hey, I think I like this band
Usually when on my way to the ‘Notebook’ I listen to the band above, Paramore. I don’t know what it is about their music, but it’s catchy. My interest didn’t start until listening to their two songs, Decode and Caught Myself, included on the Twilight movie soundtrack.
No, I am not a Twi-hart or whatever Stephenie Meyer fans [...]
