Hey there. Here is a poem I had written back when the Black Lives Matter Movement was going on. This was the second poem I had ever written. The first poem I had written was published in the Summer Poets book my sixth grade year. African Blood Black culture, black race, black blood, blank space, Frozen in time with no time at all, Black and white brawl, privilege killed all, Breaking the law, No justice, Suppressed being, no protection, Shaken up hopeless no doses, Of an anecdote, To stop the violence, No confession no silence, The defiance of a defiant stirred up by police defying the law, No human rights no natural rights, No minds right, No gun laws,  No bright light to reach for, Sick and tired of being sick and tired, Freedom and equality is what my ancestors fought for, Shut the door they follow us, They want more to take it from us, Our right to live, His hands red with black blood, This is the deed he did, Black brothe...

okay so boom right I’m about to talk about this book again cause it’s just that good. Sadly, nothing exciting has happened since the last blog post. Just a reminder, it’s called Knockout Games by G. Neri. Alright so basically Kalvin Barnes who is the knockout king and head of the TKO crew, meets Erica which is the girl with the good camera and filmmakers’ eye. Erica is new to town and made some new friends and is basically the TKO crew's camera-woman. Kalvin and she have been getting really close since they first met, and she is clearly falling head over heels for him but doesn't want to admit it.

But yea, so the crew played the game again and the knockout king picked one of the tokers (TKO cr...

Hey there again,            Okay so BOOM I’m back with another blog and this time I will be talking about this dumb funny movie I saw called The Way, Way Back . When I tell you, this movie was a different type of funny. So, this weird kid named Duncan is going to his mom's boyfriend's beach house over the summer with his mom, her boyfriend, and his daughter. When they get there, this lady named Mrs. Thompson is first of all an alcoholic but also as funny as a crackhead just without the crack. She is extremely nonchalant and just overall bold with what she says. For example, when she just came out and said that one of her family members were raped and her ex-husband just came out of the closet. But honestly, she’s a likable character, like her and her son be going back and forth but it’s just mad funny. But hold up not for nothing hate is a strong word but I hate Trent (Duncan's mom's boyfriend). He really going to cheat on her with Joan thot self and t...
