One of the best scenes in The Dark Knight was when Batman was in Hong Kong apprehending a crime boss. He asked his tech expert, Lucius Fox, how he would be able to get back into a plane without it landing. Fox suggested Skyhook, a technique used by the CIA for getting their agents out […]

Japanese Animation
Anime. Do you know it? Have you heard of it? Of course you have, you most probably have! Remember Pokemon, Digimon, Dragon Ball? How about Astro Boy? These are all Japanese Animation, called Anime. Is Anime popular? I do believe it is. Anime was [when I was a child, and still is] what played […]
Stranger
Sitting at the kitchen table, gloating to my brother on my accomplishments for the day, well he did ask, I’m watching the large white clock tick. Wondering if that online test will be there past midnight, too hungry to care. Too ___ to break free of the conversation with my brother. Too selfish to show […]
The Lady of the Marsh
Today, May 5, walking through the Marsh, Melodus Marsh, amongst osprey, heron, egret, and cuckoo, in the tall grass, I heard an echo of my mind from yesterday. I met the lady of the Marsh– in the flesh. Yesterday I had sat by the Sound. With the ebb and flow of spring, I reflected: How […]

Winding Down…
You can kind of feel it in the air when the semester starts to wind down. When you realize that finals are just around the corner, you start to reflect on the semester. It absolutely flew by, as it always does. I really can’t believe I’ll be starting my junior year in the fall. Only […]
Entitled
There once was a boy, in line with 2 others, sitting upon the waxy sheen of a bench, waiting for the G(host) train. Their banter was scintillating, only to themselves. I took pity upon their translucent pretentious smiles; I vowed to stake interest in the more mature, the level headed, of their gender. Little did […]
Eyes on the Ground, Heart in the Air
Who notices the wonder five feet below one’s eyes? “He who hopes for spring with upturned eye never sees so small a thing as Draba. He who despairs of spring with downcast eye steps on it, unknowing. He who searches for spring with his knees in the mud finds it, in abundance.” -Aldo Leopold in […]
