Gold and Silver,
How elaborate these metals can become
when there is someone to shape them.

Train stopped working
So I took another
And that “made all the difference.”
haiku 10/20
Good Old Thursday
The Weekend is near
a time to relax and concentrate
Daily Haiku Week 2
The soggy ground,
The gloomy sky,
So eerie and melancholy.
Rows and Columns
Confusion is prevalent
When using Excel
Laptop battery
is charging fully
only to be used again
Such beautiful weather
on days when I have no where to go
but lots of homework to do
Shish kebab and bread
an odd yet tasty combo
who could resist it
Work keeps piling up
even when I get stuff done
there’s still more to come
Forgetfullness. Oh,
it is very frustrating
when you forget something
Oh- Databases
it provides a plethora
of information
Words in my notebook
a collection of ideas
the story of my future
The waves of people walking up and down
the streets of Steinway in Astoria
in search of good deals
I look outside
the bright lights of external windows shine bright
like fireflies on a lazy summer night
Hues of red, orange, and yellow
the tales of courage, dispair and worship
their meanings held tightly over decades
I am typing rapidly
the pitter patter of my fingers
dancing artfully on the keyboard
The Moon is shining
it illuminates the streets
and puts nature into a sleep

Review #1 “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”
According to scientists the closest species to humans are apes. They have opposable thumbs, and have the ability to comprehended things better than any other species. The film, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” reintroduces the concept of what would happen if apes have intelligence that far surpasses that of mankind. Similar to previous films such as, “Jumanji” the notion that humans and animals cannot coexist peacefully is reinforced throughout the film. Continue reading

Blurb #1- The Museum of Moving Image
If you are a visual learner or would enjoy learning about the evolution of film, then the Museum of the Moving Image is the place for you. However, even if you are not, the Museum is far from boring. The excitement begins at the Jim Henson gallery on the third floor. The gallery takes the viewer through the evolution of the “The Muppets” show, starting with Henson’s preliminary sketches and ending with the finalized broadcast of” The Muppets” in black and white. The antiquity continues with Charlie Chaplin inspired “mutoscopes,” and an array of cameras and microphones used in the earlier films. On the Second floor, the special effects makeup and set designs give the viewer the inside scoop of what went behind the scenes on films and shows like “Black Swan” and “The Cosby Show.” The gallery ends on a playful note, as it has video games from the eighties set up to be enjoyed by the public.
