Taken by Karimelmahalawy It’s all about family, this one. The light scent of Spring that waltzed in late in 2015 was blasted away this weekend by a windstorm of exhaust, carbon, screaming rubber and NOS—like only Vin Diesel’s (Dominic Toretto’s) Dodge Charger can spit out. With this chaotic heated haze also comes both the revisiting … More "Furious 7" (2015): Movie Review
Remy Sharp – Untold Happiness (flickr) The defect in happiness is that it fleets, leaks, and seeps. Like a bucket with a gun hole at its bottom, the happy liquid escapes, however slowly (or quickly), to ultimately leave one hollow with an empty pail that is ready for the next filling. Much of our aspirations tend … More The Risk of Happiness

“There’s not a thing I won’t do, I’d give my life up for you…” (Chris Brown and Justin Beiber, Next To You) – “I’d catch a grenade for ya / Throw my hand on a blade for ya / I’d jump in front of a train for ya / You know I’d do anything for … More "I’d die for you" – The “Bloody” Hypocrisy of True Love
It started in my parents’ bathroom. If anything, this is my first auto-biographical entry. Sometimes I do flirt with the idea of journal entries, like releasing waves of unceasing narratives that gush into the internet, but then again, I find myself thinking against it. Who knows. One thing is decided; that is, no*thing. With college … More Harry Potter, Deathly Sweet
DECEMBER 19TH –the digits on the iPhone transform to 12:01 and the projector ignites, flashing away all that darkness. In effect the seat-less theater is silenced for two seconds by its own gasp for air. Staring ahead in awe, we see a grey image take form and hear that familiar elegiac tune.
