& Justice for Some 

Everyone is always quick to quote MLK on race but if he “fixed” the problem he’d be here today… “All lives matter,” is like saying “With liberty and justice for all*” *terms and conditions apply. If all lives truly mattered everyone would be at the protests on the front line. The blind truth is America…

& Independence Day 2 (Movie Review)

It was supposed to be great and they even had over twenty years to perfect it but Independence Day 2: Resurgence fell victim to a bloated storyline that was so rushed that I insisted on keeping the 3D glasses since I couldn’t get my money back for the ticket. At a time where 90s nostalgia…

& Pieces

I have this thing where I love meeting new people but I hate getting to know them. I love the thought of thinking who they could be and listening to their stories as I harbor the ones that mean the most to me close to my chest. I would give a stranger the world as…

& To Lou

Last night I partied with my grandfather in my dreams. Pappy had on that sharp blue suit  The one where when he walked down the street he immediately turned heads.  People would say, “I saw Lou and he’s still looking sharp.” There was music at this party It was a family affair and was as…

& Okay Ever After

I wonder if Snow White is okay right now? Did she grow tired of cleaning up after Prince Charming?  His charm is probably long gone by now. Has she gone mad from having seven one dimensional men as her only friends? I’m a hopeless romantic but sometimes I think she should’ve just ate  the apple for peace…

& Re(Introduction)

It took a decade of frustration but all your indecisive ways were a blessing in disguise I’d try and I’d try to get you to love me the way that I loved you the most but I was asking something of you that you couldn’t give. Not even big things just flowers, “Thinking of you,”…

& Happy Mom’s Day

Love my mother so I wrote her a poem. Every year I write her a different one. This year’s just came with a slideshow. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. 🙂 She’s my first best friend. I didn’t pick her, she picked me. She’s changed my diapers, wiped my snotty nose and…

#FBF College Memories

This is an old piece I found in my Facebook notes. 😊 2011 seems so long ago.   As the end of my senior year slowly creeps upon me, I’m starting to look back at the things college has taught me. So many people convinced me beforehand that college was not the real world but…

& Metaphorically Speaking II

Your love constantly pulled at my heart strings creating an array of knots that took me years to untangle. How did we get so intertwined… Your love was like constantly trying to swim upstream without a paddle with a block anchored to my foot exerting all the energy in the world yet getting nowhere Why did I…

Excited because after twelve years, you’ve finished high school and nervous because you know that you have no idea what’s ahead but you do know everything is going to change. College is cool but it’s…
