WTF! BP!: A Overview of What Youth Missed About the BP Oil Spill Crisis
Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I’m 19. In America that gives me free license to be as stupid as I want to be. It’s expected for me to know nothing and do nothing, especially concerning politics and social issues.

To break it down, knowing about politics and social issues is like doing extra credit for a class you already have a B in. Sure, you could do it and do better, but why?

For whatever reason, I never quite grasped that mentality fully, at least not when it comes to current events. Perhaps, I should blame it on the fact of me being raised by a border-line socialist mother who grew up in 60′s New York attending a pro-Black, Black Panther-funded school. Maybe, it’s my father’s constantly playing of Nina Simone and Billie Holiday while discussing the meaning behind Langston Hughes poems. Or maybe, it was just because I read too many Alex Haley books in middle school. Whatever the reason, I always had a deep concern and conscious-ness of the world around me.

That’s why when this BP oil spill ‘thing’ happened, I was utterly ashamed that I didn’t know what was going on. What’s even more embarrassing is I still don’t fully understand the crisis. I don’t even have opinions, just questions because none of this really makes logical sense.

The Secret Powers of Time
Thursday, June 10th, 2010

It’s crazy how we all think and live, how our individual perspectives of time affect our work, health and well-being. Time influences who we are as a person, how we view relationships and how we act in the world. How is the internet effecting our youth? Here’s a beautiful animation RSA did to a Professor Philip Zimbardo speech, i can definitely apply aspects of it to my life. Watch this before you have a heart attack!

Swansea Love Story 1 of 6
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

“In 2009, Swansea drug agencies reported a 180 percent rise in heroin use, and it’s visible on the city’s streets. Early one morning we meet a young, homeless couple named Amy and Cornelius in a city centre alley. As heroin-addicted alcoholics, they’re smack in the middle of two of South Wales’s most ever-present epidemics.”

Drowning in a Sea of Sadness
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

The latest ad from the SAMU Social Campaign, to bring awareness about the ills of homelessness. The whole theme of the shoot is that those who are subject to the whims of this social problem are drowning in a sea of sadness and hopelessness. The tag line which is written in French reads, “Plus on vit dans la rue, moins on a de chance d’en sortir,” which translates in English to “The more one lives in the street, the less one has the chance to leave there.”
