Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Appreciating the little things in life: 16 of 154
I remember the night my father was killed, it was as if someone stole my heart and filled that space with cold and bitterness. I missed the times we spent together. I created a world of my own and it seemed as if no one could match that time my father had spent with me. I have a daughter who loves the very ground I walk on an... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Lifestyles & Trends Understanding why celebrities divorce so often: 5 of 13
We have to face the fact, celebrities are human. They can get caught up in the moment of glamor and fame just like an "American Idle." Sometimes these people marry each other because they had a big crush on that person, or maybe it was a bet? It's all a part of media. You don't see the long relationships in the media, do you?...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Struggle in life: 202 of 426
"Self-Worth" As I look on life, it stands to be the biggest quest. It's not the test in itself, but the message it brings. Tears of hope can sustain me now, because I now know the true essence of life. As I look on it from within, I begin to ponder on the many blessings that God bestowed on me, knowing that I am not bound by ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God What is your understanding of God?: 61 of 118
He's Everything... As I stand from a far and begin to look at others taking life for granted, I begin to see how Satan tries to conquer an individual. I, also remember when I toyed with life and where I was going. Life, receive it and achieve it. Christ showed me he was everything and that's when I, in all of my will achieved... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Do independent women need a permanent man or marriage: 10 of 19
I love to see an independent woman taking care of her business. I also love to see two independent people working towards a common goal "staying together." It's lonely on top and usually sometime or another one is going to need the other and who wants to continue to jump ships? Marriage is a bond, but alot of people are scare... More..
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues The African-American community: The way we were: 4 of 6
I wouldn't even call it a community any more. A community was based off of values and morals. You could fine everyone you needed in your community. It's more like a cat and mouse game today. We are suffering to hold our families together.A community was designed in efforts to meet people needs. You use to be able to get your ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues Evaluating whether black people know who they really are: 14 of 20
I ask myself that question all the time. You must first start with the creator "GOD" himself. I am no different than any other human being, because I see we all have the same ability, but we have different characteristics that make up are mark-up. Blacks are brilliant when it comes to creativity and being in control of their ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality On the minds of men: 14 of 19
STANDING TALL If someone was to ask me, "are you happy?" I would have to reply and say, "Yes." I can only become conscious from the state which I am in. My outlook on life has taken a whole different view, after my incarceration. Life is a "big puzzle," yet we are given pieces to are own. We complicate our own destinies and s... More..
Entertainment > Movies (Other) Is it better to watch movies in theaters or DVDs at home?: 47 of 62
I remember when I first got a chance to see "Popeye The Sailor Man," it was the best time of my life, I thought; as a eight year-old child riding the subway all the way to down-town "Chicago." My those were the days! The stereo sound had me glued to the seats and the popcorn was definitely a winner, it kept my attention for a... More..
