I am guilty of looking through self help books at the library. So what you may ask? I think everyone has problems some self actualized other not so much. Anyways I am always looking to others to help me with problems I may or may not have. I found a sort of self help / philosophy / world view book called the Freedom Manifesto.

Tonight I sort of stepped out of usual territory and found myself at the library in Catonsville. 2 poems in hand. 2 poems I wrote on a whim a few weeks ago. It was a poetry reading/workshop. I knew when I was ( Read more... )

I've been listening to non step mento and calypso as of late. It really makes me want to go away to somewhere in Jamaica or another island in the Bahamas this summer. I think I am. I sort of randomly met someone who actually taught in Jamaica for a couple years at the last soundclash. I found his stories and his description of Jamaica just ( Read more... )
