About

Many times, when people define an entity, whether it’s a thought or a person, they talk about what it is not. That’s certainly not my intention. After all, I believe that a man’s actions speak stronger than a man’s words. So consider this blog a documentation of action.

In my lifetime, I’ve done more than I could have ever imagined. I’ve written and given speeches, played ambassador for my alma maters, participated in protests, saved lives, volunteered at hospitals, acted in various musicals and plays (mostly small-time), and won various awards, academic and otherwise. I’ve traveled the country, and I hope to travel the world as well. I’ve met tons of people, designed many a website, teach inner-city children, performed my poems, and survived the most desperate times here on the Lower East Side.

I’m still working on making my life complete, whatever it means by the time you read this. In the meantime, enjoy.

peace …
