I just started watching one of the best movies, Across The Universe. To be honest, when I first saw the trailer I thought that it might look a little bit lame, but when I actually went and saw the movie, I cried, laughed, and smiled. You can relate to all of the characters in different […]

As a writer, I pine for feedback. Since I am surrounded by such intellecutual women (and men too who read this site) I thought that posting some of my pieces for feedback (and exposure) might be helpful, dare I say inspiring? Enjoy!

Lately I’ve been pretty tired, just sleeping to much I think and I dunno, have been feeling like I’ve been in a weird funk. I think I’m mad at myself for so many different reasons, and didn’t really want myself to be happy. But, of course, you have a way of being helpless and defenseless […]
