So I spent the morning watching this documentary about race relations. It was an inter-racial group of teenagers from both South Africa and America. They spent time together traveling through Africa discussing race relations in their two countries. The groups were lead by Desmond Tutu and John Hope Franklin. It was absolutely amazing ( Read more... )

I just saw the movie HERO. It was one of the most beautiful and moving films I have ever seen. There is little dialogue, and lots of sword fighting. The story is about how in the end even soldiers want peace. Everyone wants to get to a point in their life where they are at peace, both emotionally and physically. Everyone wants to be able to lay ( Read more... )

So i'm reading this book called "The Anatomy of the Soul" and it's surprisingly on point. When I read books they often really affect me, I remember when I read the "Alchemist" in HS I wanted to run away to Spain/Morocco, or when I read "Coffee Will Make You Black" and wore my hair in an Afro for a year or when I read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X ( Read more... )

Guess who's back? Yes that's right people, I am writing in my livejournal again for the first time in like FOUR MONTHS. It's been a long strange summer of self discovery. Kristen Ethier (the goddess) and I spent quite a few days together during the first half of the summer and I would like to say thank you. If it wasn't for Kristen I would have ( Read more... )

So I was at the metro station on Saturday minding my own business, going home after an extremely relaxing day at the National Botanical Gardens with my amazing boyfriend Derrick when I saw THE FUNNIEST BILLBOARD EVER!!

It said and I am NOT lying: "Good Catholics Use Condoms"

Just thought I'd share that with y'all.

This Christmas was probably one of the most difficult holidays I have ever experienced. Returning to Attleboro was just as difficult as I thought it would be. I realized that my family might always see me as the "baby" and that some people never change no matter how much they hurt you and no matter how much you want them to. It's up to you to ( Read more... )
