About:

I am born and bred of Long Beach, CA.

Back in my college years, I wrote for UCI's The Irvine Progressive.

Let's just say, I'm a person of optimism, but some things in life are just plain messed uP!

 

 I keep to writing because when I speak, gibberish comes out.

 

I feel that one big flaw for many people in this world is accepting the belief that things can’t change, and thus, not moving to do anything about it.  I think laziness comes from an acceptance of misfortune moreso than an intentional defiance of will.

 

I feel there are too many individuals in the world who have been wronged in many aspects of their lives, whether by their governments, by their own communities, or even by their own family members, and their voices are rarely heard.  One day, I would like to go out to different communities across the globe, speak with those individuals and record their stories, if they would let me.  If I am a worthy enough writer, I would be able to retell their stories in such a way that other people reading them would have no choice but to stand up, listen, and perhaps do something about the injustice.
