Dear Edren & Eric or Esquared,
I’ve edited the novel. I control + C and control + P the whole shibang on a word document. Edited some things out. Fixed some spelling errors. Made it flow. Do you need me to upload the new versions or can I send you the manuscript in the word doc?
I’m working on the final chapters. [...]

Dear T,
Today was fun. I was a little apprehensive with our museum playdate. Only because hanging out with someone new always pushes me out of my comfort zone. I usually find ways of avoiding one-on-one hang out sessions with new friends.
During confirmation I was getting really close with my friend Erika. We would joke around confirmation [...]

Dear Malcolm,
Your mommy wrote a beautiful letter today. A beautiful letter about a visit to a Warner Center Park in Woodland Hills.
It hurt me to read your mother’s words. It hurt me because I don’t want to believe that the prejudices we faced as youngsters bleeds onto your childhood. It hurts me because I can remember the [...]

Postcard to the Prince of Guam,
Thanks for the letter. It was inspirational. Truely, it means a lot. What you said was spot on. While we were friendly faces, we never were real friends. And that’s a hang up I have. It’s not hard to strike up a conversation with someone, but it’s like pulling teeth when you share personal or [...]

Dear Emo Mack 2.0,
I just wanted to tell you something.
YOU ARE WACK.
I know you are trying to be down, but shit. You’re wack. You are coming off like a judgmental motherfucker. You reap the benefits of folks who you just so happen to know and barely contribute anything inspiring to the conversation.
Man didn’t your mama teach you that [...]

Postcard to Last Days
I’ve had a lot of “last” days lately. Last day of graduate school. Last day of work here. Last day of work there.
It bums me out. I don’t like having lasts. I don’t like change, even though I know it’s always lurking somewhere in the background.
But with the sadness of “lasts” comes the excitement of “firsts.” First [...]

As the LA Lakers play in the West Coast finals my mind begins to worry. It always does during these tense playoff moments. Having your heart broken by sports teams is such a sucky feeling. While folks not interested in sports may find iit ridiculous, I still find it heartbreaking.
My best friend asked me “Are [...]

Dear JEM,
At the beginning of every episode I know I sang along to your theme song.
Jem! (Jem is excitement) oh
Jem! (Jem is adventure) oh
Glamour and glitter, fashion and fame!
Jem (Jem is truly outrageous)
(Truly, truly, truly outrageous!)
Whoa, Jem (Jem), the music’s contagious (outrageous)
Jem is my name, no one else is the same Jem is my name!
I couldn’t [...]

Dear P,
I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry that you feel hurt. But really…I don’t know what to say.
The honest truth is, I don’t want you to leave. No matter how upset you are with this city, I’d rather have you stay. That may be me being selfish, but I truly [...]

Postcard to Sunday evening
Warm summer nights. How is it summer when it’s still supposed to be spring? Lovely Los Angeles evenings.
Good Music. Good Conversation. Good Times.
This electronic postcard is my attempt to chronicle an amazing evening. Simple conversation that enlightens the soul. Having the ability to continuously learn more about people that I consider friends. Amazing.
