Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011, this day, in which the weather was good like many others days when the weather’s good, I decided to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. This has been my main modality of consistent exercise, for the past 5 years. I’m a pretty in-shape kind of guy because of it, by the way. Also, Continue reading

My Poetic Anatomy:

I inhale concepts, thoughts & world views, then begin to exhale Haikus. My long hair keeps growing, just like a never-ending line from a rhyme. I hydrate my body with emotionally infused water, then sweat sonnets. The ink from the pen flows through me instead of blood all of the time. Everything about me is Continue reading

The following quote is in commemoration of Columbus Day: “Christopher Columbus set the precedent for Europeans to violently take the Americas from its Natives, yet he’s celebrated.
