Do You Vote Today!

College Memories
I began college at Oakland City University in the Spring Semester. Which means I started in the middle of winter. My first big winter weather storm didn’t take long to happen. In fact I was afraid I wouldn’t get home that week at all. We had a lot of snowfall down south. During this week…

Photos: How Do You Think These All Relate?
These books mean a lot to me. We have spent a lot to time at the Bishop House recently, but this morning Mom and I had a chance to save some of these books I have latched on to and hadn’t had time to get back. These are from my Mom’s side the Alsman House.…

Sportsmanship
Talking sports is not my cup of tea. Although, I did enjoy playing Volleyball for one year. I am not athletic; I’m an artist for a reason. Sports is something to enjoy for fans and a way for sportsmanship to be applauded and critiqued accordingly. Politics should not be a part of sports at all.…
