A Dance of Strangers
This room is filled with chance encounters. Tonight we sip off our week’s adventures in order to dream of new beginnings and let slip false starts. We huddle together away from the night, but still sit with our fabricated shields. A mass of singular beings wishing fervently to connect. This room, filled with clanking ice […]

We stood up and gathered, demanding the same change we were promised, and so far all we are given is tear gas and criminal records. The “Occupy Wall Street” movement scares corporations and those in their pockets because it is […]
Occupy L.A. Crack Down Follow Up
Apparently the revolution will be televised, and live on Ustream, which is better than it sounds. The tired and resolute protestors link arms and solemnly chant, “The whole world is watching!” They are preparing for the Los Angeles police riot division to begin with their prior threats of arrests and possible nonlethal, but still unnecessarily […]
