Monde de I'imaginaire

Since I've started this blog, it has always been my intention to share poems and short stories that I've written with my audience. However, I never felt this was the appropriate place to post my work. So after months of hyping myself up, I finally decided to share my work with the loyal legion. 

If the loyal legion is interested in what it is that I do when I'm not giving you all the details of my random ass life, then they can go to Monde de I'imaginaire (Realm of Imagination). 

I had to name the new site after something close to home. Why is the title in French? I've been listening to a lot of Vanessa Paradis lately and I really want to learn French. Also, I did write my first poem when I was in 6th grade about imagination. I don't remember what it said, but it must have been good since my English teacher asked me if she could have it. 

I wish I still had that poem instead of the faint memories of its title and content, but oh well. I guess I've been making up for that with the endless amount of notebooks filled with what I once thought was silently cluttered nonsense.

I will be sharing my work with the loyal legion and accept work from others. If anyone would like to participate in my newest project they could send their poems and/or short stories to Writerado@yahoo.com.

Oh and comments will be encouraged and accepted on this new page.

I LOVE Shihan!

When I was living in LA, I got a chance to visit Da Poetry Lounge. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the people, their spirit, and their words. I miss going there every Tuesday with my poetry road dawg Danny, who introduced me to Shihan. 

Shihan, in my opinion, was the realest person you could ever meet. He's hella funny, kind, and very honest. Unfortunately, when I make my voyage back to LA, I won't be able to see Shihan and other artist like IN-Q perform, but hopefully they'll still be performing when I move back for good.
