OK, so what do I want for my blog? I want to organize it so that each story starts from the bottom upIt was just another day at the toy store when a young lady walked in browsing the store. She didn’t want to purchase anything but just wanted to browse. We ended up bonding…
Bla Bla Land : Chapter 29
So inner city filmmaker was over. On the night of graduation, I felt strong and inspired. Nothing was going to stop me but what was next? I went back to the toy store and back to school. I was starting my second year of college and my major was all over the place. I needed…
Bla Bla Land : Chapter 27
Wow, ICF was finally coming to an end. Tal, one of the assistants, threw a prop which she called morp. Prom spelled backward is morp. Stephanya Morp! I didn't attend prom back in high school so I was excited. Tal's house was ten minutes from my place. It was going to be an 80s theme…
#208 potential
I want to write. I want to start filming shorts. I need to start. All week, I have been thinking itching to have free time to get some writing in. Some deep and thoughtful writing. The week after Halloween always is bitter-sweet for me. I had a fantastic spooky season but now it's over. I…
#198 things that made me feel
Moments that made me feel this week. My therapist and I tried a new form of therapy. We were actually just goofing around but it felt good. I told him how sometimes I like to sing about my problems in the car. Sometimes it’s the only way I can express myself. I’ve only sang about…

Painting. I love painting. I don't paint as much as I use to because it takes a lot of time. Usually, it takes me about three hours to complete one painting. Life gets busy and I just can't make the time for it always. I made time during the month of January to paint. I…
#100 Marriage Story
I re-watched Marriage story today. It is award season and I love to watch all the nominated films and Marriage Story was one of them. I was inspired to write this poemish. I don't know if a poet would call it a poem but I do I guess. I have never been married so I…
#2 Gold
When I was a senior in high school, I really wanted to give the senior speech but I wasn’t valedictorian and I wasn’t the senior class president. I was just a drama geek that really had no remarkable talent. I couldn’t dance or sing and my acting was questionable but I loved the arts. I…
