It all began when my mom accepted a job offer and we moved clear across the country from New york to California in August. These states were completely different and I was just starting to adjust to the new life style. New york was cold, windy, and sunny (sometimes) and it was full of tall buildings. The main sources of transportation were a taxi and your own legs. If you weren’t skinny when you got there, you are now. California is sunny all year-round and is filled with girls with abs and real…

His stormy grey eyes pierced into my green orbs. It was evident that he was drunk, and that was mainly because his eyes were darker than normal. I was curious to what alcoholic drink was flowing throughout his body. One quick sniff and I could tell that scotch was taking over his veins. This wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced this side to him, but right now I needed to finish my homework. “Clarke,” he slurred and swayed, close to falling. “Yes Dad?” I questioned with a hint of attitude in…

American writers, regarded tremendously around the world and produce many of the great novels written. In order to write a good novel, there must be a great author who knows how to manipulate words and phrases to set the mood and let the reader understand how characters feel on a deeper and more personal level; in addition, a great author must also be able to deliver theme across to the reader so the reader can understand what the meaning of the story is, and two of those great authors are…

I think we were really spoiled by 2014, man was that a good year for cinema. While there haven 't been a ton in the theatres I’ve still been watching a ton of movies. I just went through basically every Wes Anderson film recently, and still have a tough time ranking them. I think I’ve convinced myself that The Grand Budapest Hotel is his best work. From the beautiful set pieces, to the humor, to the cast and soundtrack (but Wes always has great soundtracks)…

TED Talks are created by passion, intelligent individuals who have amazing messages to share with the world. While some topics have more of a direct correlation to my life than others, these…
