  • Truly Inspirational

    I got a weekend of free HBO and Cinemax this past weekend and found myself watching this HBO Documentary called Brave New Voices and was blown away.  It shows how these teenagers write their own poetry and then present it on stage in front of thousands of other people for the opportunity to compete in a national competition in Washington D.C.  The writing and words that these kids could come up with and the situations they have had to overcome just moved me so greatly that I was left speechless when the first episode was over.  Here is a collection of teenagers rising above their circumstances, their medical issues, home life problems, or just general frustration and turning it into something so spectacular that I don’t know most adults who could do what they have done.  Their prose is so well done, their emotion coming through on ever word, and all at the age of 18 or younger.  If you have HBO then watch this show.  If you have cable or any on demand service then search it out.  I hope they have it on DVD soon so I can finish the series.  This truly is a remarkable documentary and one I would encourage everyone to watch.

  • My Photography

    I have been working hard on my photography and wanted to start sharing it with a larger audience.  So check out my work at Flickr and give my some feedback.  What do you like or dislike?  Do you have some photography you would like to share?  I’m just reaching out to people to get some feedback now is all.  Thanks everyone!

  • Let’s get back on track

    I have been going through a lot but am now ready to get back into the swing of things.  Sorry about the disappearance everybody.

    Today’s link is a fun game that is along the lines of guitar hero.  If you head on over to Jam Legend you too can play some music through your computer.  It’s HIGHLY addictive but tons of fun.  The only downside is that I have not heard many of the songs on this site.  I am guessing it is mostly independent but hey if you do know these bands then let me know. 

    What do you think of this game?  Is it fun or not?  Is there a site you would like to see featured on my blog?
