In 2009, Oscar Grant was shot by the police after a small dispute with another person. He didn’t deserve to be shot and murdered, but he was. He wasn’t the first or the last, and with internet and the world wide web taking over, we have seen many new examples of this since then. A movement was started, people rallied, […]

People are strange. We are, we all are. Let’s admit this. We are full of oddities that make us unique; in fact, it is the oddities that make each of us a person. Most people are comparable to another person, very few are considered special in the grand scheme of things. That’s because people are ashamed of sharing those little […]

Relationships are like bookmarks for the book called our life — sometimes they are memorable, but most of the time they are not. You forget them or, more importantly, forget the feelings they generated for you at the moment. A passion fling that at the moment seemed like everything in the world could easily become a joke between friends a […]

God and love. These things means the same for so many people, yet we try to find it in different ways. The idea of love by itself is vast. It can mean anything! From the sweet taste of strawberries in the summer to the person you spend your life with, we love. And we find God through these things, because […]

Every year a bunch of playwrights take the city by storm and show off their talent in the hopes to get discovered. Many submit everywhere trying to get a chance. Many festivals seek to take advantage of this and make money from it. Others really like seeking new artists and help them develop their craft. And some of them are lucky […]

An artist’s growth can be a painful reminder of what growth really means. It means realizing the best next steps to take by failing. It means having multiple rejections and powering through the constant humiliation of everyday living. It’s taking risks that could transform you, both in a positive and negative way. It means re-inventing yourself constantly while trying to […]

Being a soccer fan in the United States can be trying. Until the 2014 World Cup performance, the crowd will be mostly people from other countries or descendants getting together and bothering whoever was watching something else at the bar. Thankfully, in the past few years, the sport has been getting some traction, even becoming the second most popular sport […]

The Planet Connection theater festival is an event that has been on my radar for years, yet I’ve never been able to go see a play from it. So imagine how excited I was that I finally got to see what this festival was about. New York City is full of summer festivals, encouraging new artists to bring the best […]

Memory is a funny thing. It’s there all the time without really being there, at least not in any physical way. Memories manifest inside of our brains without us telling them to. They just do, and the better your mind works, the bigger the database is. Elephants are known for their amazing capability to remember most things that happen in […]

Migguel Anggelo came like a force into my life. I was sitting at a small table, in the middle of Joe’s Pub, waiting for him to come on stage and perform. I was talking to my guest about the space, and the show. I had not much idea what the show was going to be about, my knowledge started and ended […]
