I am! Once again I find myself up late. I’m ready to complain and crib about my lack of discipline or too many distractions. Then I open this video from a friend and realize – I’m such a loser. Stop whining. Nick does not have arms or legs. But he does have a great sense [...]

For me, Poetry was always about rhyming words and emotional words, short and sweet. It was an art, only a few great people in the world can create. But its fun trying it out on your own. I wrote my first one (I still don’t want to call it a poem) when in college, then [...]
