    Airport Flow

    I had to hit the airport flow & talk about my recent trip to Hong Kong to see Scholar Lee.  My homie from back home was  3 hrs away so I flew out to catch up with him & see more of China.  But the traveling process is never easy for me because of lines, checkpoints & procedures.  I know they serve a valuable function and in the end the pain is outweighed by the pleasure of traveling.  To all more »

    Hurry up and get out, so we can get in/ I’m sure the whole district can fit in The urbanization of transportation makes everyday like a trip through the airport/ my fare card is short and I’m at the gates of Court/ 1-800 DC do you have text support?/ It really much simpler than it presents itself/ traveling from different boroughs back to the commonwealth of VA/ Where the streets is slow like the west parts of PA, This is an instant replay, I’m your instant DJ, where the streets is slow like the west parts of PA/ more »

  • Making Noise on the Block from Boise

    Yo wassup. After traveling through the Nevada and Utah, we are chilling at a Starbucks in Idaho. Seattle is a few short hours away and I am looking forward to the change of scenery. So far it has been grizzly cold out here on the road, wind and snow, stuff like that. Boise is actual not that bad in comparison to parts of Utah (7% F and 12% F). So it’s day two of the six day roadtrip and Cali, more »

  • Trying to Find My Way

    I returned to the Valley a week ago, and I am still trying to find my barrings. I am grateful for the amazing opportunities and people that I have encountered, but now it is time to move forward. In social settings I feel a somewhat removed, maybe because part of me is still thinking about DC, or perhaps its because everyone asks me the same questions like: How was DC?What are you going to do next?Are you going to stay more »

  • Out of District!

    From Baltimore, to Harlem to Charleston and finally I’m back in Arlington. I am grateful to God for having the opportunity to do a little bit of traveling the last few weekends. Three weeks ago I went to visit my great Aunt, and some good friends of mine in B-more county. Prior to catching up with my aunt this time around I hadn’t seen her in almost ten years. We had a nice time and at good at the place more »

    D.C. Poetry in Motion: Part Two

    Huddled and Hurried/ Different colors spread out like a McDonald’sMcFlurry/on this white landscape, They say it’s the Chocolate city with a vanilla center it all depends on what part did ya enter, SouthEast can be a beast, went solo to Anacostia for a Christian rap video that got made/ As we left the shoot we prayed/ I went to secular shoot in Minnesota Ave/had a difficult time navigating my path, should have taken Benning road/ but that’s not the path more »

  • Last Sunday: Finding a church, meeting a presidential candidate

    I, I feel so alive/for the very first time/ I can’t deny you/ I feel so alive.-P.O.D. I am creatively engaged, and overall I have felt a greater sense of urgency since I have been in D.C. Maybe it’s because I know that my time here is short. Perhaps, I should look at my whole life from that perspective; I would certainly get a lot more done! In Arizona I felt so chill, but out here I’m making every minute more »
