My Illustrious Hometown
Stefan Ardey My Illustrious Hometown I come from a place that gave birth to a couple of well-known basketball players in the NBA. I grew up in a town that's in the Big Apple, the city of dreams. My hometown is probably only one of the few one block twenty buildings apartment complex around. Each floor has eighteen floors. My hometown breeds rappers, too. These rappers leave the hometown but still represent it. The numbers five and seven are used as hand signs to symbolize and signify the hometown, and its broad road that goes straight down after Junction Boulevard and ends at 99th Street. It's called 57th Avenue. This hometown has everything within a five-block radius. You can cross the street and go to a supermarket. You can cross the street and go to a fast-food restaurant.

Seattle Nightlife Report: Pony
Mid-winter Friday night. Early but already so dark. The days are getting longer but 6 PM is still pitch black. “Firepit!” You declare things after just a few seconds of solemn thought – not a request or suggestion, not a demand. Last week you walked around saying, “Hot tub?” to anyone who would listen. Or one afternoon you pointed at two men holding hands as they crossed 12th Avenue, looked me in the eyes and said, “Boyfriends.”

The library Bollywood celebration that I had went to,
That day I got some Henna art done on my hands. The talented Henna tattoo artist was doing beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some tradition Indian dancing as well. It was great fun and I loved every minute of it. I got to wear traditional Indian garb around my waist and what not and it was great. I would to relive it again but I can relive it through this article. I was dancing with a lady who was teaching the dances and got my picture with her. On my forehead is the traditional accessory that takes you into the third eye. Learning these dances was a lot of fun. We also learned belly dancing type moves and what not. The library where I used to go is who sponsored this free event always put on wonderful functions like that. Just a beautiful and cultural time was had by all. The girl who did my henna tattoo is really very talented as is the lady who taught me the dance of India and Bollywood.

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.
