• Drones Over America

    This has nothing to do with right or left, this has to do with Government's ever-expanding control of and intrusion into our daily lives. Wake up, people!!!
  • Obama's Political Stunt

    It's convenient how Obama freely expresses that he's completely comfortable with gay marriage, of course, during the electoral year. Yeah... I don't mind gay marriage, after all, in the land of the free, everyone should have the right to do what they want (just as long as it doesn't involve murder…
  • Prisoner

    OK, so my last post was a tad too much. Though, I will also admit to feeling exactly like that for a couple weeks when I wrote that, so I won't regret writing it. Better to be true and honest than to pretend to be ok all the time, right? In the end, I failed classes because I dedicated myself to so…

  • Easy Does It

    I went out with a girl recently that I had met after a pretty cool performance with my capoeira group (HA! Suck it mestre! Thought I was too chicken, huh?!) at the AAU.

The process is to transform the latter into the former. Empire uses this gradualist idea for its own benefits, as we see in expressions such as…
  • Miday Cake

    "What do you really want?" Honestly? "at this moment?" "Yes, right this very instant." "Cake." And just like that I made my way downstairs, into the kitchen. Popped that box open and cut the most gratifying piece of Brazilian birthday cake I have ever eaten in my Life. Putting all fact…
  • Let The Past Be Your Guide

    Good, bad, and everything in between. Such, is your past, so, why let it go to waste? We have all made mistakes, and done things which we regret. Those things can't be changed, but the present, and future are different stories. Mistakes can be bad, but even worse, is to make the same ones again. May…
  • How to Fly Away Home

    Originally posted April 26, 2012. Home. A place of security and rest. Family gatherings, good food, games, security, rest, and warm showers. The place we long for when we've worked hard or had an upsetting day of events. It is where we are shielded from the terrors and horrors of the outside world.…
