• An Introduction (I guess)
    So, this is the introduction section, huh? Well, I’m not so good with this introductory BS, so I’ll do my best Let’s start off with my name. I’m Jaime. Jaime David. No, this is not my real name, and you don’t have to know my real name (not yet, anyways). I’m creating this blog to share my thoughts, writings, and whatever else is on my mind. I also created this blog to slowly grow a fanbase, for I am aspiring to be an author, and hey, authors gotta start somewhere, am I right? I don’t know what this blog will… Read more: An Introduction (I guess)
  • Rain
    It’s raining today. It’s a cold, dark, damp, miserable day out. It seems that it rains almost everyday in New York. Now, I get that rain is important. I get that it waters the grass, the plants, the trees, and replenishes the oceans, lakes, and rivers, but still; it sucks when it rains almost constantly. Constant showers, constant downpours, constant gusts of wind and rain; it gets on your nerves after a while. Not only that, but it’s really unusual to see occur in New York so often. From what I remember when I was younger, it never rained so… Read more: Rain
  • Instant Gratification
    When we have a fixation For gratifcation That is instantaneous, We are left in a state of Feeling constantly voracious.
  • Perception
    It takes just one word To change the perception of someone’s world.
  • Language
    We see it. We hear it. We write it. We think it. But you don’t actually know it until you learn it.
  • Night
    It is darkest at night, When there is no light, And you don’t feel right Because there is no sight. But in time, the Sun will rise, and soon there will be complete daylight.
  • Time
    It is defined as a process In which things continue to progress. People, places, and things all move along with it. When we reminisce, the past is what we visit. When we’re looking forward, the future is what we look toward. But there’s one state; one state that we resent. That so-called state is what we call the present. When nothing goes our way, we begin to feel real hesitant. We don’t know when or how, We’ll stop feeling like we do now. When things go wrong, Time feels long. When things go great, Time accelerates. One day your twenty,… Read more: Time
  • Music
    Music; it’s so amusing. When you feel down, it can be so soothing. When you’re filled with joy, it’ll leave you grooving! There are songs for every mood. You pick and you choose it! Songs can be live, studio, acapella, or acoustic. You can play them anywhere; even while cruising! Music gets us feeling; it makes us be human. So let the music play; don’t try and mute it!
  • Logical Fallacies
    Logical fallacies, as far as the eye can see. They’re everywhere in sight; we hear them when we speak. Formal or informal; they’re all really awful. And it’s hard to avoid ’em; it’s easy to get caught in them! You may use one or more of them! And you may use them quite often! Argumentum ex culo? Pulled straight from your rear hole! Argumentum ad novitatem? A novel but naïve claim that’s said. Argumentum ad naturam? Natural does not always mean practical! Appeal to flattery? Too bad it’s just a fallacy! Argumentum in terrorem? Appealing to fear is abhorrent! Argumentum… Read more: Logical Fallacies
  • Justice Will Prevail When We Start Speaking Up Against Injustice. — Exposed: Uncovering The Lies Of The World
    When it comes to the tragedy of injustice, not only in America, but in the world as a whole, we are seeing little being done to stop it. Why? Because people are staying silent. In order to be heard, we have to speak up.

  • Top 10 Tracks of the 2010s (In My Opinion!)
    With 2019 coming to an end and 2020 on the horizon, the end of a decade is soon approaching us, and I felt this would be a great chance for me to discuss about some of my favorite songs from the 2010s! Please note, this list is purely subjective and contains only my opinions about music in the 2010s. If you disagree with some or all of the song choices listed, then that’s totally fine! Music is art, and like all art, art is subjective. What some people may like, others may not. Without further ado, let’s delve into my… Read more: Top 10 Tracks of the 2010s (In My Opinion!)
  • Time: Part Deux
    We are always so worried about time. Being late, being early. It’s all about time. Sometimes, though, we need time away from time. We need time to not worry about time and whether or not we’ll arrive on time! Sometimes, we need time to have some peace of mind. Time’s all around us. It’s always ticking. While we’re alive, we’ll still be kicking. Sometimes we thrive. Sometimes we’re thinning! But if we keep our heads in the game, we’ll surely be winning!
  • The Internet
    Is it a detriment or a benefit? Is it harmful or is it helpful? Is it a tool to communicate, or does it only isolate? Does it make us very social or antisocial? What I do know for sure Is that it’s a double-edged sword!
  • Uniqueness
    They say we’re all unique. But if we’re all unique, then we’re not unique. And if we’re not unique, then we’re all the same! But that’s not the case! We don’t look the same. We don’t act the same. We don’t think the same. We don’t feel the same. We are not the same! But uniqueness is something we all have in common. It is a common trait that makes us great. It allows to see things in ways others can’t. It allows us to experience things in ways no one else can. We may be different, but that difference… Read more: Uniqueness

    You want fame? You got it! You want bling? Then buy it! But without a good friend, you ain’t got shit!
  • Rhyme
    You got time? Wanna hear a rhyme? Well screw that! You ain’t getting one! People always expect a poem to rhyme. Whenever you hear a poem or a rap, People always think there’s got to be a rhyme! It’s wack! It’s like it’s almost expected of you to write a poem that rhymes. But the thing is, it’s not about the rhyme. Not all the time! Poems won’t always go the way you want them to! Sometimes there’s rhyme. Sometimes there’s not. Sometimes there’s repetition, and sometimes there’s no sense to it! So don’t get apprehensive if it doesn’t meet… Read more: Rhyme
  • Trains
    Get there. Pay your fare. Train’s not there. It’s not fair!
  • Change
    Things change. Plans change. People change. We all change. Everyone changes. Everything changes. Change is all around us. It surrounds us. It’s all about us. It allows us To be who we’re truly meant to be And allows for us to see The people we truly want to be!
  • No More War
    Enough with the endless fucking wars! No more war! No more bloodshed! No more innocent civilians dying because of a barrel of oil! No more of any of that shit! It’s time this shit comes to an end! People always say to “support the troops!” Well, you know how we support the troops? Don’t send them to fucking war! It’s that simple. If you really care about the troops, don’t send them to countless wars overseas! We’ve been in NUMEROUS wars the past two decades; maybe longer! And you know what the answer is as to why we have to… Read more: No More War
  • #NoWarWithIran
    It’s been a few days into 2020, and already, there is the real possibility of war between Iran and the United States. Trump had recently ordered an assassination on Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, who was one of the top generals in Iran. I don’t know much about Soleimani, but from what I had heard about him, he was not the best individual, morally-speaking. However, regardless of whether or not he was a “bad person,” was he a direct threat? I think not. There are talks that he threatened an attack on the US embassy in Iran, however, from what I… Read more: #NoWarWithIran
  • Quote from Al Jazeera’s video “Is Trump taking US into a new Gulf War? | Inside Story” (posted on January 4, 2020)
    Hillary Mann Leverett (~14:48 – 15:55 in video): “This was not a strategic decision taken by President Trump. He is making the same mistake that is a bipartisan mistake, that goes across political lines, that both President Bush and President Obama made before him. You try to vilify a leader of another state, whether it’s Saddam Hussein in Iraq, or Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, which is what happened under Obama. You vilify this leader, you invade the country, try to destroy the country, and think you have a victory. That has been proven absolutely wrong! It is a strategic quagmire… Read more: Quote from Al Jazeera’s video “Is Trump taking US into a new Gulf War? | Inside Story” (posted on January 4, 2020)

    A look at an old video by the Amazing Atheist about perpetual war that I decided to share, since it looks like it is possible we will get involved in another perpetual war (this time, the contender might be Iran, and a war might happen under the Trump administration!). Although this video is a little over 6 years old, I feel it is still relevant today!

    This whole thing with the US and Iran Has really got me thinking, man! It’s got me thinking all about death, And how it will one day be the inevitable end! We may not know how we’ll die. We won’t know when, where, by what, by who, nor why! All we do know is that one day, it will be our time! I know that I don’t want to die, For I still want to experience life! There’s still places I want to see, And people that I want to meet. I want to try new foods to eat, And… Read more: Life and Death

  • What A Weird Start To 2020
    So, this year has been quite the interesting year so far, and we’re only 8 days into it! Recently, there were some tensions between the US and Iran (which could still possibly continue well into the future) that had the potential to cause World War III! Admittedly, I was scared; really scared. I was so scared that I thought I was going to die. I thought that my friends and family were going to die. I thought that innocent people who had nothing to do with the tensions between the two nations were going to die. I was scared for… Read more: What A Weird Start To 2020
  • Climate Change Is Real
    After reading this article by the NY Times, I was somewhat inspired to write a short poem about climate change in response to the title of the article. Hope you enjoy! That’s…..hot! Ok, no it’s not! It sucks a lot! It’s worse than I thought! This planet’s all we fucking got, and right now, it’s getting too damn hot!
  • Imagination (My Response To John Lennon’s “Imagine”)
    When I listen to this piece, This musical piece by a man long deceased, I can’t help but help wonder, What the world would be like If we cared for one another, Gave to each other, And were there for each other. What would that world be like? Would it be nice? Would people act right? Would we all not fight? Would we not be superficial And judge people For the color of their skin, Or for what was between their legs, Or for who they chose to kiss, Or for how they chose to dress, Or for what their… Read more: Imagination (My Response To John Lennon’s “Imagine”)
  • Writer’s Block – It’s The Worst!
    How ironic. I’m writing a blog post about writer’s block. Writer’s block is pretty common among writers. It’s that feeling you get when you want to write, but your mind just doesn’t have anything in you at a particular moment. You don’t have any creative spark that allows your mind to flow freely. It can be annoying. There are two pieces of writing I am working on at the moment. One of them is a blog post. It’s a comparative essay comparing the anime/manga series “One Piece” to Homer’s “The Odyssey.” I know how I want it to go. I… Read more: Writer’s Block – It’s The Worst!

  • Thoughts on the Coronavirus
    I’d like to share some quick thoughts on the coronavirus; mainly the racist rhetoric surrounding the virus. I’ve heard quite a few people, both online and in real life, say that people should “stay away from Asians” and whatnot. I would like to debunk this BS right now and say this: “staying away” from Asians won’t do anything. Not now. The disease has spread outside of China, so now, it is affecting more than just Asians. If people were to apply the “staying away from Asians” logic to other groups, they’d essentially be advocating to stay away from everyone! They’d… Read more: Thoughts on the Coronavirus
  • My Journey to Atheism
    I’d like to tell you the story of how I became an atheist. It’s kind of a long one, so strap in for the ride. My story starts when I was a kid. I was born and raised Catholic. I received all of the sacraments up to and including Confirmation. I was a devout Catholic. I believed in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I prayed everyday, both out loud and to myself. I went to Catholic school from grade school all the way to high school. I was pretty religious. My family and I weren’t big on going to… Read more: My Journey to Atheism
  • Bridges and Walls
    If you raise up a bridge, you build a wall. If you tear down a wall, you create a bridge. Why should we should we exclude some instead of include all? Why should we divide ourselves and act cold like the fridge? It is time we stop looking at each other like we’re not “the others” And start realizing that we should start to love one another. We’re all humans. We are one family. We’ve lived on this planet for many generations. Sure, our ancestors may have caused much division; Division that exists to this very day. However, there is… Read more: Bridges and Walls
  • The Storm
    There was a storm; a storm that had ripped us from house and home. It was big, it was bad, and it was horrible. I remember it clearly to this very day. The pounding of rain on our roof and awning was something, to me, that was very unnerving. The lightning that lit up the darkness in the sky was loud, powerful, and so very frightening. I was crying. The winds were so strong that I thought a tree would crash into my room. That’s how scared I was feeling, but when I woke up, it turned out that I… Read more: The Storm

  • “Humanitarian Intervention” Is An Oxymoron — The Interfaith Intrepid
    There is no such thing as “humanitarian intervention.” It’s an oxymoron, and a blatant one if one were to take the time to ponder it’s meaning, the usage, and the context of the phrase.

    Background I initially wrote this poem in hopes to possibly have it included in a book about climate relocation. It unfortunately wasn’t accepted, so I’m sharing it on here! Before I get to the poem itself, let me tell you about the background of what inspired and led me to write the poem in the first place, for the story is a pretty interesting one. It all started about a month ago.

    Death is a part of life. It causes us great strife. It takes away our loved ones And leaves us all alone. It affects us all differently, For we have different ways that we grieve, But I know that I personally believe That death is the end; the end of everything. Once someone’s gone, they’re gone for good. Maybe there’s a God and an afterlife. Who knows? All I do know is that I will always try To bring happiness and joy to the people in my life.

  • “Blue October – Oh My My” Review
    The band Blue October had recently released their newest single. It is titled “Oh My My.” As soon as I heard it, the song was very upbeat and uplifting. The lyrics are also very relatable. The song is about an extroverted guy who falls for an introverted woman. This song is very relatable to me, because the two times I’ve fallen in love, it was with women who were introverts. I don’t know why, but I always find myself falling for introverts. I can’t quite explain why that is. Maybe it’s because I find introverts to be very caring, loyal,… Read more: “Blue October – Oh My My” Review

Show the cashier your phone screen and the purchase you made on the McD’s app. Two minutes later, your food’s in your hand. How very convenient. Sit down with your friends and chat about whatever.

    The shortage of toilet paper that has been plaguing stores nationwide has left college students with no choice but to use their useless textbooks as a substitute for toilet paper. The hundreds, or sometimes even thousands, of dollars spent on these books that don’t even get used most of the time will finally pay off. “It’s been a life-saver,” one student said. “I now have a reason to actually use the books!” These useless textbooks have been beneficial to many young college students.

    So today is my birthday. Does not feel like much of a birthday today, though. With the whole coronavirus pandemic going on in the world, I have not been in much of a celebratory mood. It really sucks, for I was looking forward to my birthday for a while.

However, on the same day that someone is celebrating life, another person is mourning life lost. Most tragedies that happen in our lives won’t become national or even international news. They’ll only be remembered by a select few. Occasionally, tragedies make their way into the national and international headlines, and remain engrained in our hearts and minds for a long time.

    It has been a little over a month since COVID-19 lockdowns took into effect. It’s honestly been quite boring, and depressing, not being able to go anywhere.

  • Consent
    No means no. What’s so hard to get? That is the basis of consent. If someone says “no,” respect their wishes. Do not force something that they do not permit. If you are unsure, don’t hesitate to ask. If they’re unconscious, do not be an ass. If they’re unaware, try anything you should not dare. Consent is a simple concept to grasp. We learn it as children when we’re taught how to share.

    Pollution; it’s not an illusion. It is quite real, and we need a solution. If we don’t solve this, it could be the end. It could be the end of us all, and the world that we love Could end up in flames as humans will try to blame The problem on others and not act like brothers When in reality, we all have a hand to play.

    Racism; it is a system Where a person is treated different For the color of their skin pigments. It is a system That has oppressed millions For many generations. The only way to end it Is to fight against it. In order to do that, we must acknowledge The existence Of white privilege.

    Sexism is terrible. It is horrendous. It is disastrous. It’s the treatment of one sex, Usually women, In a negative way For what’s between their legs. It is male privilege That perpetuates This messed up system.

The anime/manga series “One Piece” is a modern-day version of “The Odyssey!” You know; that epic from ancient Greece that you learn about in high school and whatnot (at least, I assume people learn about it in high school. I don’t know what the curriculum is like in other high schools. I went to a private school, and I know… Read more: One Piece: The Modern-Day Odyssey

  • Shades
    I used to wear them all the time. I’d wear them so I could cover my eyes. At least, that’s what I thought for the longest time. As years have gone by, I have realized, Deep down, I was insecure on the inside. I felt that I needed to wear sunglasses Because I thought it would somehow boost my confidence. In reality, that was not the case. I was not being honest. The reality was, I was too scared to let people get to know the real me. When I put on the shades, I felt like I was a… Read more: Shades
  • Embracing Failure
    Embrace failure. Missteps and roadblocks are inevitable but are ultimately an opportunity to learn, pivot, and go after your goals with new perspective. – Jenny Fleiss You may sometimes hear, usually after you fail at something, that you have to accept it and move on. It’s possible for one to accept it, but accepting failure does not necessarily mean that you have completely moved on from it. No. To move on from failure, I believe there is something more that is needed. What is that, you may ask? That is to embrace failure. Yes, you heard me right; embrace failure.… Read more: Embracing Failure
  • No Justice No Peace — Daniela Elana
    I’m honestly despondent about everything going on. It seemed since the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012, there’s always something like this, now with the blatant seven minute murder of George Floyd on camera. Similar to a pot that boiled over, enough is enough. It all angers me. Growing up, it was the colorblind era. […] No Justice No Peace — Daniela Elana
  • Justice For Floyd
    They killed him in cold blood. He said he could not breathe. He was pinned down to the ground. His neck was crushed by them. The ones who were “good” just stood there. The one who directly killed him got charged with third degree murder. To me, that’s too lenient. What was seen in the video, that was murder to the first degree. Now, there are riots and protests all across the country. There was no justice for George Floyd when he was killed by that chauvinist chode Chauvin. People are angry. People are upset. People are infuriated. I am… Read more: Justice For Floyd
  • Karens
    They say the craziest shit. They think being forced to wear masks in stores is a form of oppression. They get upset when people of color barbecue in parks. They call the police on the neighbor’s dog. They choke their pets while telling the police they’re being attacked. They yell at retail employees if their service is not fast. They’re everywhere, and they’re a pain in the ass. It’s ridiculous. There are even male versions of them. They are the biggest snowflakes imaginable. They are racist, sexist, insensitive, and privileged. Moral of the story is: don’t be a Karen.
  • Biking
    Put on my helmet, Get on my bike, And off I ride. I feel the rush of the wind pass me by. I feel free. I feel like I can do anything. It’s amazing. It’s a great feeling. I can see the scenery, nature, and what people are doing. I can go at my own pace, since it is not a race. I love to ride my bike

    Here is some artwork I made. It is of the Black Lives Matter fist. Now, I don’t really have a poem to along with my artwork, so instead, I will include this Black Lives Matter poem that I really liked. Enjoy! “The American Dream” by Marri Let me tell y’all something:The white man don’t care about our suffering.The privilege is too bright to see us. The white man don’t care about us.The white man wants to see us get shot,The white man wants to see us wither and perish.

  • Pacifism
    It hurts a lot inside us When we see so much violence. Peace is what we want most, But that cannot happen when there exists systemic oppression. We don’t want people hurt, to suffer or die. We don’t want people to lose their lives. We value human life. We see the good and potential that people have inside. We want people to be free, be happy, and be caring. We want people to live life without fear of being victims of cruelty. We want to live in a world where no one hurts one another and where we all treat… Read more: Pacifism
  • What Is Nothing?
    What is nothing? Is it something? Is it anything? Is it everything? Is it just a mere illusion? Is it a product of our own imagination? Is it something that’s even worth noting? Is it something that does no truly exist? Is it a state you can’t comprehend? Is it a debate you can’t truly win? Is it something that no one can sense? Is it a question that’s answerless? Or is it just simply nothing? 
  • Independence?
    Today is the 4th of July, A.k.a Independence Day. It is America’s birthday; The day that the colonies declared independence from Great Britain. At least, that’s what most people think. The day Congress voted for independence was July 2nd And the day the Declaration of Independence was signed was August 2nd. However, the document itself is dated July 4th. What is the true day of America’s independence? I would say when the vote was made should be that day. Whatever the case, July 4th is considered “Independence Day.” For the longest time, it was a day of great celebration for… Read more: Independence?

    Praying Mantis, how do you be?Praying Mantis walks graciously.Praying Mantis, what do you see?Praying Mantis, what are your fantasies?Praying Mantis, what do you fancy?Praying Mantis, do you come in peace?Praying Mantis, are you from Atlantis?Praying Mantis, you are so dazzling.Praying Mantis, you act so careless and free.Praying Mantis, how do you plea?Praying Mantis is what I see.
  • Rental Scooter
    With my handles, board, and wheels,I can take you anywhere you want to go.If you have the money to pay my fee,I can take you anywhere you want to see.When you ride me downhill, you’ll feel the wind as you go.But once you are done, I get left all alone.At times like that, I hopeThat one day, someone new will come along.
  • Snowpeople
    Snowpeople; they are so unique.They’re cold on the outside, but they’re still great.They come in all shapes and sizes,And have different personalities.Even though they’re not alive,They were made by someone who is.They are phsyical manifestations of someone’s creativity.They are sculptures of art,Made with something that is soft and fleeting.Even if they may not last physically, they can remain engrained in memories and photographs.
  • Lone Cactus
    I stand alone on top of a hill.In front and behind me are valleys of sand.I sometimes see birds and other critters try to greet me,But ones who are bigger try to avoid me.It makes me feel lonely.Sometimes I just want someone to love me.Sometimes I feel like I want someone to hug me.I don’t want to hurt others.I don’t mean to be a pain.I just want to put a smile on everyone’s face.Maybe one day, someone will love me.Maybe someone may even adopt me.Until then, I just stand here, waiting for the rain.That could take days, weeks, months, or… Read more: Lone Cactus

    I don’t talk much about poetry (the theme) anymore, and I’ve always found it difficulty answering questions such as “what is poetry to you?” and “what is your relationship with poetry?”, (not that I get deluges of questions, I certainly do not).

    In existence, where we roam with our eyes closed after the last hour, Our separateness becomes nothing of a divide- Pronounce your words if you’re capable. The 21 remains.

    First, there was the possibility of war with Iran. No one knew if tensions between the two would result in conflict. Then, the Australian wilderness was on fire. It was intense. Then, there was COVID-19. Things were shutdown for months on end. Then, places in the US started to reopen at different paces. Some states have less cases, while others are increasing. Then there was the death of George Floyd, which sparked protests all across the country. There were even calls to defund, or even abolish, the police. The response from the police was more brutality.
