  • 20 feet from safety

    It was finally when I wiped the blood from my forehead that I could not help but laugh.  Laughter felt better now than fear.  Altough temporary, it offered a way of coping with what has just happened – I was assulted at gunpoint. It was 8:43 pm when I got off the subway and started

    As I surfed the net today, I stumbled across a friends facebook page whom I had not seen and/or herd for quite some time.  She was a friend from back home in Florida and someone whom I had grown very close to over the years.  She was the definition of what a “party girl” is.

  • mira papa

    I let go of your hand and leaped forward.  The feeling was something un-describable.  I was independent. Confident.  Full of energy.  “Balanceate contra la calle”, you said with a smile on your face and a sweat on your brow.  “No te caigas!”, you screamed.  I fell.  I had learned to ride a bike. I look

    He has found it.  The perfect person that he could see spending the rest of his life with.  Everything was there.  The education, the laughter, the lust, the passion, the sex, and the ever powering – “commitment”.  He often wondered why such a thing had never appeared to him before?  Why such a thing took

    “You must, therefore know that there are two means of fighting: one according to the laws, the other with force; the first way is proper to man, the second to beasts; but because the first, in many cases, is not sufficient, it becomes necessary to have recourse to the second.”   -Machiavelli
