There’s something great about the way he stands – the blood-streaked reality that is his livelihood falls away under the […]
I think I might start doing one-word titles. They’re less encumbering to the reading eye [and I am just tired of sounding as long-winded as I am].Anyway, today I am going to cover the same lame trend of using a photograph that I took a while ago and posting up my writing experiment for the […]

AHH! We returned from mid-winter break and now I have absolutely no time to think for myself!After having such a relaxing and semi-creative break, I feel that the ‘Almighty School System’ has come back to smite me.
