Do you remember your first vinyl, tape and/or cd purchase? We’ll start with my first tape since that came before the vinyl; to be honest, I’m not exactly sure if my first tape was the single “Round and Round” by Tevin Campbell or “Dial My Heart” by The Boys. My first vinyl was Bananarama’s single …
Man in the Mirror: thank you Michael Jackson!
One of my pet peeves is hearing people talk negatively about immigration from a stance of how much money the U.S. will spend on a myriad of public services offered to those who did not get here legally. I frequently think of how easy it is for us as a people, in a country that …

A bright moon over the courtyard of my building! It’s rare that I see the moon in the city, so this was a treat.
Me Today
It’s Saturday around 5pm and I am just now ready to sit down and chill out, what took me so long? A clean up bender that was one part self-grooming and one part house cleaning, both of which I did not intend to spend my Saturday doing. I woke up this morning with one of …
