TBT: Green Day
This is the story of, perhaps, one of the coolest memories I have of any event I've ever attended. If you were any age between a middle schooler or college student in the late 90s-early 00s, you know that TRL on MTV was your joint. If you were in middle school, like me, you'd make sure to run home and get there in time to watch. And when watching like the devoted fan that you were, you'd see all the high school and college kids in the studio or the celebs waving down to the ones with signs on the street. You wanted to be them. You wanted to be the lucky bunch who got to be in the studio the day shit got so out of control they blocked out the windows for safety during NSYNC's visit. When my family would go into the city on the weekends and walk through Times Square, I'd look up at that second floor window and dream about being those kids one day. Dead serious.

TBT 'My Father's Career'
So, everyone knows I love writing, I love sharing new pieces, old pieces, from poems to essays. Today I’m posting this special piece from a long time ago to share my evolution in writing. This is an essay I wrote in the 8th grade for a home economics assignment. We were to pick an adult in our lives and interview them with a questionnaire from the teacher and write an essay about their career from their answers and descriptions. I chose my father because not only did I love to travel by train growing up, but he and his father were both MTA employees, and I greatly admired both of them. I remember we did the questionnaire in the kitchen while he was doing the dishes. Looking back, I wish I had written my sentences better, elaborated more rather than answer them like an employee pamphlet, because English was always my best subject, but I cut myself some slack here because I was in the 8th grade! But I’m still proud of it because somehow I got an A on the paper, and I’m so happy I have this in my possession as I share it on May 1st, the thirteenth anniversary of his death. (*I fixed a couple of typos from the original paper).

Hostage Situation
This is from a real video. It’s from exactly ten years ago; April 2007. Earlier on this day that this video was made, I had an important meeting at school with the board of education to examine my progress the last four years of high school and determine my future from this point. This is probably the moment where I realized these appointments at my doctors, these annual meetings with my councilors and these advisors, were like being an inmate and meeting the judge to see if i was finally being released.
