I had called ahead to let them know that we would be there after hours and they were kind enough to open our apartment and leave us a key. I circled the parking lot like a vulture looking for food trying to find the right building. Once I found it, I unloaded the cats and then went around the corner to my sister’s house with the kids. We spent our first night…

On the morning of my fifth birthday party, the house was a buzz with preparation for the festivities later in the day; Mom was in the kitchen preparing food while Dad, my oldest brother, Danny, and I were decorating for the big day when there was knock at the door. I was not allowed to answer the door before but Danny said it was probably one of my friends arriving early and I should go let them in.

neighborhood, and even have sleepovers. That all changed after 9/11. The neighbors that once welcomed us with open arms when we first moved to close the doors and the currents. The kids that my siblings and I played them in the park next to our apartment building stopped coming near us. The icing on the cake…

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” Realism can be simply defined as attempting to represent a subject truthfully, without any kind of exaggeration or implausible content.

To Build a Fire, the first text in…

Just a few years ago this great nation took a devastating hit to its economy that crippled many homeowners. These citizens had everything ripped out from underneath them and were forced to foreclose. Why were so many thousands of people forced to resort to this you ask? When the economy bottomed out, they lost everything and could no longer even afford to support their families or live in their homes. Today, many thousands of those victims of foreclosures have since turned into potential…

I lived in an apartment complex for about six years, and there are plenty of advantages and disadvantages from my experience about that style of living. Living in an apartment is sometimes unsafe.
