I think I might!

Well happiness is to report I did pretty well in my World Literature Class :o) I think I might keep this blog up and not only dedicate it to literature but to art, film, and other mediums. It was pretty fun keeping a blog for class :o) I hope other students enjoy it as much as I did myself! I did see a new Woody Allen movie over the weekend called Blue Jasmine. It was a sad but good movie. It goes to show you can have all the money in the world but that doesn't make the world go around.

In the poem “Walking Around” by Pablo Neruda there appears be several underlying themes of losing and almost near insanity. In the first stanza, Neruda sets up the reader to almost personify with the narrator of the poem, a man who is not lost with nowhere to go.

At times I thought I would not see the light at the end of the tunnel. But I hope by me writing this people take from my experience to never give up. I remember the quote and I am not too sure who it is by but it goes like this "you are responsible for the effort not the outcome" and with that in mind on my most insecure days I kept treading! It is truly a beautiful feeling to be completed with my creative thesis!

It has been a while!

I back and ready to write even more. I have been publishing and I even applied for a playwright residency. It sounds like a wonderful organization with a great potential. I wrote an article for Rain and Thunder which is an activist journal and heard back that they were pleased to publish it. I was also published in The Hessler Street Fair Poetry Anthology. It is great to be writing again and I am sorry for not posting anything sooner. I am back and will be talking about The Cleveland Museum of Art.
