My friend

Posted by Peak Johnson on Nov 2, 2009 in peaks thoughts

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 [...]

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 accompanied [...]

BET’s tribute to the King

Posted by Peak Johnson on Jun 29, 2009 in peaks thoughts

  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

Posted by Peak Johnson on Jun 27, 2009 in peaks thoughts

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 [...]

The return of Outstanding Parenting…(yeah right)

Posted by Peak Johnson on Mar 10, 2009 in Philly News, peaks thoughts

This past Saturday I went to the Pearl theater to see the new movie, Watchmen.  The Pearl is not my ideal theather because of their laxed rules, but who am I to know what you are or what you are not supposed to do at at a theather. Anyway,  despite the reviews that were already circultating, [...]

Fallen Hero(es)

Posted by Peak Johnson on Feb 5, 2009 in peaks thoughts

The incident involving olympic star Michael Phelps reminded me of an article I once wrote about another olympic star, Marion Jones. As it was stated within the article, Marion Jones was not just a role model but a symbol that African-American women can do anything that they put their minds to, with what has happened with [...]

Posted by Peak Johnson on Dec 23, 2008 in Philly News, peak and politics, peaks thoughts

The city of Philadelphia seems so…unhappy, I know there are a bunch of things to be unhappy about particularly in our city, but does anyone have the holiday spirit anymore or did it just go away with the many budget cuts that our mayor made last month? Despite the woes that we are in as [...]

My President, Your President

Posted by Peak Johnson on Dec 9, 2008 in Gen.Is.Us, peak and politics, peaks thoughts

What a historical election, this one will surely go down in the history books. For the first time we have an African-American as President of the United States.

Another Violence Article (Unedited Version)

Posted by Peak Johnson on Jul 15, 2008 in Philly News, The North Philly Metropolis, peaks thoughts

It seems readers that our desperate hope for a peaceful city, unfortunately, is still only a dream. Why? Because if I were to talk to your girlfriend or if I had mistakenly bumped into you while trying to make it to class on time, it is likely that I would get hurt, though not with [...]
