Not unusual. I write to create, explore myself, think and vent about the world and my life. I write to express. But this writing is...

Last 12 February, evening, I had my first live poetry reading at an exhibit opening at school. The title of the exhibit was "Home Sick Home". It was put up by Asterisk, a student organization close to mine (Writers Club). Actually, I think I only got in because the VP for Academic Affairs was a...

I saw Buzz Aldrin last week, for the first time in my life. Of course you know who he is: the second person to step foot on the Moon. Nowhere in recent American lore are there people more truly and incontrovertibly heroes than the Apollo astronauts. Volunteering to get shot into space in a metal...
