A Marvelous Adventure of Hide and Seek
(March 24th, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, It was deafeningly bloodcurdling having to put myself through Richard’s conversations with the white men in Black Boy. Having to pick out his sentences word-for-word, I was anxious of the possible consequences that would come into effect if Richard had slipped on a single syllable during his conversation with [...]

Reading
(March 23rd, 2010) Dear Planet Earth, Wild, exotic, adventurous, and vastly descriptive. I’ve caught myself in a pretty captivating adventure book called The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear.

The Less Taken Path
(March 12th, 2010) Dear Car Riding, Gas Guzzling, Ignorant Planet Earth, I’d like to make every day a day open to adventure.
