nostalgic for israel
reread my journal from israel,
feeling nostalgic today,
longing for a place,
that exists in my memory.
everytime i think of it,
and memories that were created,
i start to revist those happier times.
a place of hope.
no one will understand,
even if they say do,
but these are my feelings,
and thats how it is.

My degree was finally conferred and I am awaiting on my diploma. Still a badass in heart and soul.
YLF came and passed. I rekindled many friendships with people. Learned a lot about myself. Its about transition right now. I am trying to get into the swing of it.
Reading a lot. Music has been comfort. Calling people has been better than FB. Deactivated my FB.
“Forgiveness - giving up the hope that the past could be any different.”

Post-graduate life
Looking back at where I was mentally, physically, and spiritually in May and where I am now in September, I am extremely proud of how things are going. Granted, I still do not have job. However, I have many leads and prospects. With this in mind, I continue to write, speak, and lead with passion.
To the future!!!

The paranoia
We killed Bin Laden.
But should we celebrate this victory? Does this mean that war and terrorism will stop? Bin Laden prepared for this and he trained many of his comrades to continue his legacy. Is Bin Laden evil? Yes. Should Bin Laden been shot? I am not sure. I know that if we would given a fair trial, it would given more glory. However, the way it seems the glory is still here. We created Bin Laden and now we put him to death. But was it really a victory for Obama? Honestly, I think no one should be thinking this is the end. I am skeptical of everything pertaining to this. I believe in conspiracies and I think this is one. Fear, and the perpetuation of fear only propagated by the media is what US tends to think is right for the nation. All I know is that we should be skirmish about this and think that we have won anything.

Conviction
Find music in freedom,
definitely beautiful,
join me,
on a bandwagon of uncertainty,
where words collide against the magic,
where books become weapons against bombs,
and our voices rise against the machine.
I WANT MY FACE BACK

fighting blues,
being,
life blues.
