Express yourself
A few weeks ago my friend, Teryn, asked me to come and sing a few songs to open up a poetry reading. This wasn’t an ordinary poetry slam, though; Teryn is the director of a program in Lynn, Massachusetts that supports homeless teen mothers and their children.

Now, as far as the tunage is concerned, you could always set your iPod on shuffle or flip through the radio presets but there is nothing better than »
A Nightmare on Elm Street Review
As a lover of horror movies, I had very high hopes for the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Unfortunately, this flick fell short….way short. Remakes of classic cult movies can be tricky; you don’t want to veer too far away from what made the movie successful in the first place but, then »
