Well, baseball has finally arrived and the snow is melting, hopefully for good. As the sun starts to peak, we are pointed in the right direction. Not just towards spring, but also the time of year that baseball, the game, players and fans cherish. Those palm trees, that Florida sun and that green grass calls us back to that love that burns within our hearts all winter long.
For many fans, the winter break after a grueling season could be seen as a God send. But for others, that new season …
Between episodes of ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Teen Mom’, we know that MTV is not known for airing the most tasteful shows (or much music, for that matter). One day though, I happened upon a show called ‘The Buried Life’, and it had me questioning my life in the best way possible. For those of you still out of the loop, ‘The Buried Life’ is a reality show about four guys who decided they wanted to take the road less traveled and complete their bucket list. From participating in a Krump …

He scanned the room searching for a victim, a hostage. I tried to make myself as small as possible yet somehow his eyes still found me.
“Hey you, in the suit” he called out, the fear I felt before was nothing compared to what I as feeling right now. My heart raced erratically as I pointed to myself hand shaking. I imagine I looked like a deer caught in headlights my eyes wide with fear.
“Yeah you, get over here” he waved me over with his gun hand. …

The glass seems as if its fading,falling,cracking.
My eyes gaze into the time engulfing past
