Sartre Meets Afghanistan: Obama’s “No Exit” Strategy

All I know is that whether or not we are able to get out of Afghanistan by the set timeline of July 2011, the American people still need to find a way to sustain this country. We, the American people and all of the people’s of this world — we have to stand on our [...]

Obama’s Afghan War Plan: Nine Key Points

Very curious to listen to tonight’s speech….­because with this President.­..with this President we were not anticipating more years of senseless war. Is this choice “inevitable”? Is it that “necessary”? Really, President Obama? We shall see…we shall see. I know many who are disappoint­ed…I bite my tongue on this one, in anticipation of what unfolds.

Make Everything Your Own

I have to completely agree with Mr. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson…and this theory and practice obviously works well for him. He has built an empire unto himself…he came in as a hustler, a rapper hungry for independence of everyone. And he has done it…and he continues to do it. I respect the man for this [...]

Why Joe Biden Should Resign

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with Arianna. I think that it is important that Vice President Biden stands behind his words…I do.

Upside of Anger

I used to be afraid of being angry. I used to be afraid of offending other people, especially my loved ones. I used to be afraid of people being unhappy with me.
I am no longer afraid. Now, I am just angry.
It is always funny to me when people are rattled when other people are angry. [...]

Music

Music.
Oh music….it makes my heart sing like no other.
Music brings me tears. Music brings me joy. Music is literally the space within which my soul resides….my soul is best expressed through music. When I can longer find the words to understand life…music always stands in. When I am at my wit’s end….music always brings [...]
